About the Castro District, San Francisco
Twin Peaks bar, the first gay bar in San Francisco to have windows greets most first time visitors and locals alike directly on Market Street welcoming all. What used to be the intersection for the gay rights movement, today gives way to community and a feeling of home instigated by its proactive GLBT residents. On any given day, you can walk this intersection and be a part of history while "Gays" can be seen teaming out of every retail store, bar, dance club, and restaurant for blocks. Additionally, the world famous Castro Theatre can be seen illuminating Castro Street signaling to any unaware traveler you are in fact in the gayest neighborhood in the world.
While the Castro façade has changed many times over the years, what remains the same is its continued importance both symbolically and physically to the San Francisco gay community. The Castro will continue to be "the" spot to meet GLBT people and their friends while being a beacon of diversity and hope for many around the globe. In the Castro individuals are free to be who they are regardless of social "norms," acting as catalyst for change and acceptance worldwide.
