There’s something really powerful about walking through San Francisco q***r history with people from around the world. 🌈[insert globe or map emoji]

One of the highlights of leading the San Francisco Q***r Women’s History Tour with Gloria was our conversation about LGBTQ rights movements in China and the United States — where we’ve been, where we are now, and how fragile progress can sometimes feel.

At one point Gloria reflected that China’s LGBTQ movement feels about 35 years behind the US movement. But later, in an email exchange, we both acknowledged the growing crackdown on LGBTQ rights — both in China and increasingly here in the United States — and how many rights for women and LGBTQ people are being threatened, challenged, and rolled back. History never moves in a straight line. 🏳️‍🌈

What I loved most was Gloria’s curiosity and joy throughout the tour — constantly stopping to photograph murals, landmarks, and the q***r women’s spaces and stories that helped shape San Francisco. 📸⚢💜

Moments like these remind me why I created these tours: to connect people through storytelling, lived experience, and the histories that still shape our lives today. 👭✨

Thank you again, Gloria, for such thoughtful conversations and for exploring q***r women’s San Francisco with me. 💜🏳️‍🌈👩‍❤️‍👩

🕊️ Remembering Doris F. Fisher (1931–2026)

San Francisco lost one of its great cultural builders at the beginning of May with the passing of Doris Fisher — cofounder of Gap Inc., philanthropist, arts patron, and advocate for education.

From a single store on Ocean Avenue in 1969, Doris helped shape the company’s style and customer-focused identity into a global fashion brand while helping redefine casual American fashion for generations.

Beyond retail, she helped leave a lasting imprint on San Francisco through philanthropy, support for the arts, and educational initiatives that expanded opportunities for countless young people.

What stands out most in reflecting on her life is the quiet intentionality behind her leadership — leading with creativity, integrity, curiosity, and purpose.

“We do our best to lead by example — not because others are watching, but because it’s the right thing to do.”

Rest in peace, Doris. ✨

Exploring the Castro and the Mission through a q***r women’s lens with Gloria, Noa, and Noa’s girlfriend last week was such a joy. 🌈✨

What an incredible afternoon we had exploring the Castro and the Mission. We wandered through the Castro — so often viewed as a gay male bastion — uncovering the powerful and often overlooked impact q***r women had on shaping both the neighborhood and the LGBTQ movement.

We then journeyed on foot from the gayborhood to the Mission, aka the “lesbihood,” where q***r women transform the Valencia Corridor into a vibrant cultural and political hub from the 1970s through the 1990s. 🧡🤍🩷

The San Francisco Q***r Women’s History Tour: Rebels, Lovers & Trailblazers is the most personal tour I lead because this history isn’t just history to me — it’s lived experience. These are stories I witnessed growing up in the Bay Area during the 1970s and 1980s and stories I later documented as a journalist covering pivotal LGBTQ rights battles over the past 35 years, from Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (the ban on LGBTQ people serving in the military) to the fight for marriage equality to transgender rights. 💜🏳️‍🌈

One of the most meaningful moments of the day was our stop at the Women’s Building. Noa shared that she is one of the co-founders of Tel Aviv’s Women’s Building, which was inspired by San Francisco’s iconic feminist space. ✨

Gloria reflected that China’s q***r movement today feels similar to where the US LGBTQ movement was in the 1990s. I loved exchanging stories about our respective fights for visibility, equality, and community across generations and continents. I especially enjoyed hearing both Gloria’s and Noa’s experiences as activists working to create safer, stronger communities for q***r women in their respective homelands.

These are the conversations and connections that remind me how deeply linked our struggles — and our victories — truly are. ⚢

Thank you both for choosing Go Roam Tours and for sharing your stories, insights, and time with me. These conversations stay with me long after the tour ends. 💕

💜 Some shared histories stay with you. 📖

Talking with Franco Stevens beneath a giant le***an flag in front of San Francisco City Hall on Le***an Visibility Day was a nostalgic moment for me — especially wearing a vintage Curve t-shirt I modeled in during my two years interning at in its early days (and yes… thank goodness we loved baggy clothes in the ’90s 😄).

Back then, we had a sense we were documenting and celebrating le***an culture, though I don’t think any of us imagined the reach that work would have.

That spirit was alive at this year’s Le***an Visibility Day lighting and awards, where a growing crowd gathered to celebrate le***an leadership and community outside San Francisco City Hall.

This year honored:
✨
✨ Rachel Herbert & Dana Oppenheimer of
✨ Mimi Demissew of
✨ Allegra Madsen of

The Foundation also announced a $1,000 grant for the San Francisco D**e March and pledged matching donations during ***anvisibilityweekusa. 👏

One of my favorite moments was Rachel sharing a story about Franco’s pet pig 🐖 from her Castro roommate interview — a funny, tender reminder of a different era. I smiled hearing Rachel mention Franco’s pet pig 🐖 — I loved that pig and still remember taking her out for walks in SOMA, when the office was briefly located there.

In challenging times, this celebration felt like affirmation: le***ans and q***r women continue to show up, stay visible, speak out, and lead.

Thank you, , for your vision in putting le***an culture front and center for more than three decades — and to everyone carrying that visibility forward. 💜

🌈✨ What a beautiful Le***an Visibility Day in the Castro. ✨👩🏼‍❤️‍👩🏽

It was a joy co-leading yesterday’s Le***an Visibility Day tour through the Castro with Laura Thomas and M. Rocket. Every time I dig deeper into this history, I’m reminded how profoundly le***ans, q***r and trans women, and nonbinary people have shaped — and continue to shape — this neighborhood. Their footprints are everywhere. You just have to know where to look. 💜

📍We began at the , which currently is showing Directory of Dreams, the powerful exhibit honoring le***an-owned businesses in the Castro and Mission.

From there we traced herstory and q***r resistance through the neighborhood:
🎨 Living Le***an Legends + Circle of Change murals
📸 Harvey Milk Camera Shop
📚 A Different Light Bookstore
🎭 Castro Theatre
🍸 And and more, wrapping at

Along the way we talked about ACT UP, the San Francisco D**e March, le***an and q***r publishing, nightlife and entertainment, BIPOC and women’s spaces in the Castro, and so much more — stories of resistance, creativity, pleasure, and community. ✊🏽🏳️‍🌈

One of my favorite moments? Continuing the conversation afterward over burgers and drinks at Rikki’s, swapping stories and honoring q***r women’s activism during the HIV/AIDS crisis. History lives in those conversations, too. 🍔🍻

Thank you to the and for sponsoring this special tour during ***anvisibilityweekusa.

Le***an visibility is history. It’s resistance. It’s community. It’s joy. And today felt like all of it. 💖

⚢ 💜 Happy Le***an Visibility Day! 👩‍❤️‍👩🌈✨

Today we celebrate the brilliance, resilience, and contributions of le***ans and q***r women — to the LGBTQ+ community, to democracy, and to the world.

This has been the biggest Le***an Visibility Week yet, with events happening across the US and around the globe. 🌍

🔥 Visibility has never been more important.

At a moment when women’s rights are under attack and some forces want to push us back into silence, history reminds us:

We have always resisted.
We have always found ways around oppression.
We have always created spaces where we — and others — can live freely and fully.

✊ History shows le***ans and q***r women don’t disappear — we organize, we build, we lead.

Today, celebrate the countless ways le***ans and q***r women have shaped culture, community, and change.

💜 Celebrate in your city or town:
✨ Take a tour (like today’s Le***an Visibility Day Tour — starting soon! — hosted by the ) (🔗 in bio)
💻 Watch one of the inspiring online programs from ***anvisibilityweekusa
🏛 Attend a civic lighting ceremony
🎉 Or simply show up and be visible

However you celebrate — celebrate boldly.

Special thanks to for the vision to bring Le***an Visibility Week to the US, and to for its incredible support. 🙏

Here’s to le***an visibility — this week and every day.

The Castro wasn’t always just a “gayborhood.” 🏳️‍🌈

✨ What’s the real story behind the San Francisco D**e March?
✨ How did le***an media, activism, and community take root here?
✨ And what role did women play in ACT UP and the HIV/AIDS movement?

📅 April 26, 2026
⏰ 1–2:30pm
💸 $25 per person
🚶‍♀️ Walk-ups welcome

This isn’t the Castro story you’ve heard before.

It’s layered. It’s radical. It’s hers. 💜
