On Sunday, the infamous Folsom Street Fair took place in San Francisco, with the kink festival celebrating its 40th year.
California state Senator Scott Wiener, who has been photographed at the event in previous years, applauded the day as “one of the best days of the year in San Francisco.”
“We kicked it off with the amazing Donna Sachet’s 25th annual Folsom Leather Brunch. I’m so grateful to Donna & all of the kick *ss community leaders who make our city a better place,” Wiener wrote on X, posting photos of himself alongside a drag queen who was holding a California Senate certificate of recognition.
Folsom Street describes itself as “committed to cultivating a safe, open, and inclusive environment for the kink, leather, and alternative sexuality communities while centering equity for BIPOC and LGBTQA2I+ people in our work. We are rooted historically in the fight against gentrification and displacement both here in San Francisco, on unceded Ohlone land, and worldwide.”
Photos and videos of the event circulating on social media show men dressed in fetish attire openly participating in sexual acts on the public street.
One photo shows two men sitting in a kiddie pool while another standing along the side pees into it.
