The Rainbowization Of San Francisco’s Gay Castro Street

image.jpegSAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – As if the giant rainbow flag at San Francisco’s Market and Castro streets were not enough to let people know they are in the gayest district of the City by the Bay, the area’s pedestrian lanes were also painted ROYGBV  (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet).

But wait, that wasn’t quite enough either.  Today, the city unveiled the rainbow-colored lights lining the escalators leading to and from the Castro Street MUNI train station.

Just one more thing, and we’re all set.  What can we do to the famous MUNI F Line that begins and ends at Castro?

Aha! Don’t give Scott Wiener any ideas.

Wiener, who represents the Castro on the SF Board of Supervisors told The Adobo Chronicles  that on Monday, he will file a board resolution that would order MUNI to paint all of its trains on the F Line with the colors of the rainbow and decorate them with — what else — rainbow banners. He said that doing so will result in more tourist visits to the area and ultimately benefit the Castro Street businesses — at least those that continue to be open and afford the skyrocketing rent.

LGBT advocates, or anyone opposing the proposed measure are advised to show up at City Hall on Monday when the Board of Supes take up Wiener’s proposal.
