Dozens
of Bayview Hunters Point residents marched in the 2013 Pride Parade on
Sunday as part of the UTOPIA contingent, a group that has been part of
the parade for over 30 years. This year, UTOPIA joined with "Team
Malia," the UTOPIA banner advanced a few steps before the D10 Supervisor
Malia Cohen banner, and island-themed costuming took a decidedly "pink"
turn.
Pink
shirts with Malia's picture dotted the rainbow colored terrain of
Market Street as D10 Supervisor Cohen cheered from the back of a convertible and Southeast Sector leaders marched nearby.
The weather for the Pride Parade and Festival at Civic Center was stellar. So good in fact, you might have thought you were in Bayview.
UTOPIA
is an association of LGBT Pacific Islander families and friends located
in the Southeast Sector of San Francisco. UTOPIA was established over
30 years ago, under the leadership of Neo Veavea, and has since sprouted chapters in Hawaii, Seattle and San
Diego.
