Castro valley gay

Among my army of incredible friends and community, we hold a few aesthetic tropes that are common&#;tattoos chief among them. When I was younger and still shedding muggle ideas of normalcy I remember entity sort of shocked when someone would just get a tattoo on a whim. You didn&#;t plot this for years and meticulously scour for the right artist? You got it off the wall?

Not everyone thinks appreciate a Capricorn with a Virgo rising. I&#;m an Ground sign. Permanency is a big conclusion. Some people tattoo on whims and some people tattoo with great plans and down payments and sessions. Most folks blend a bit of both.

That&#;s not the tattoo point I wanted to build. There&#;s a pattern in my tattooed friends&#; bodies. They get home express nostalgia tattoos. They come in lots of types, an esoteric homage, a sign, but most common is a map outline with optional home urban area starred.

Here&#;s what I&#;m talking about.

Come Out for Castro Valley Pride, July 12

Now that we’ve celebrated San Francisco Pride, it’s day to hit the street (or hop on BART) and head to one of the most enthusiastic and meaningful Pride celebrations in all of California: Castro Valley Pride. It’s a fabulous Pride celebration in the sometimes-sleepy suburban community of Castro Valley, 30 miles southeast of San Francisco. But things will be anything but sleepy on July

Castro Valley Pride is the brainchild of Castro Valley High School students and Billy Bradford, a seasoned and fearless activist with Marriage Equality USA and GetEqual. A longtime resident of Castro Valley, Billy stands up for what’s right—leading countless rallies all over the Bay Area for marriage equality and for full LGBTQ equality in all 50 states. He also sits down to risk arrest in the face of injustice, whether protesting Proposition 8, religious intolerance, or the Chick-fil-A owner’s anti-LGBTQ views.

A gay dad himself, Billy’s most important work perhaps is inspiring and empowering students and other immature people in Castro Valley

We put the Castro in Castro Valley
After more than two decades living in the San Francisco suburb Castro Valley, Dale Albright and Bob Miller are packing for good and leaving for Santa Fe.
“We put the Castro in Castro Valley,” quips Dale, who left his job as managing director of Theater Bay Area to work at Santa Fe’s own Lensic Theater (coincidentally located on San Francisco Street).
The couple had been visiting Santa Fe frequently for about 15 years with an eye to eventually move here. I met them in when they were renting an Airbnb in Eldorado. Like most clients-turned-friends, we related when they did a Google search for gay real estate agents in the area. Over the next few years, Bob and Dale went to a lot of open houses. “When people asked if we had a realtor, we’d say ‘Mark,’ and they’d all say that we were in good hands,” Bob recalls.
A Fast-Tracked Dream
Their aspire of an eventual move to Santa Fe took a large step closer to reality about a year ago when Dale received a job offer from The Lensic. He moved here and starting a house track, while Bob wrapped up things i
