San Francisco Mayor London Breed announced her intention to allocate $6.5 million of the citys budget to end transgender homelessness. The timing of this announcement is apropos as June 1st kicks off Pride Month. Pride Month marks the memorialization of the Stonewall Riots of 1969. These riots were demonstrations by members of the gay community protesting police raids at the Stonewall Inn in New York City.
The fantastically named Mayor Breed has had a bit of a love-hate relationship with the San Francisco Pride community after publicly criticizing their refusal to allow LGBTQ+ police officers to participate in uniform. Could this move to support a letter of the Pride Community be an attempt to make amends?

There are 2 ways to get housing in SF for a single man. 1) Go to work and pay $1,600 for a small studio apartment. 2) Put on a dress and demand mayor London Breed give you a free place to stay.
