Just in time for the annual Folsom Street Fair, SF District Supervisor of the Castro Scott Wiener says there would be some exceptions to the hypothetical ban on nudity in the neighborhood. 

Details (and NSFW imagery and links) after the jump.

Following through on a promise they made in 2010, a group of San Francisco Bay Area Gold's Gym franchises have ended their contractual affiliation with their parent company, following payments made by the company's CEO to anti-LGBT conservative organizations.

It's a great gay day for American sports!

We brought you word earlier today that the NFL became the first league to participate in the GLAAD/Athlete Ally LGBT training program; now we're breaking the news that after much pressure on various teams in the NFL, the San Francisco 49ers have set the pace for the rest of the league by becoming the first football franchise to film an "It Gets Better" video!

H&M is taking its deification of David Beckham way past its Olympics projection stunt and giving us a new place to worship on our knees right here on U.S. soil. Starting Thursday, retail locations in S.F., L.A. and NYC will erect an 11-foot underwear clad silver Beckham statue to entice size queens into the stores.  

As we check the books of the local municipalities for laws against public indecency with statues (it's research for the article and nothing else, we swear!), follow the jump for more deets on H&Ms best. idea. ever.

Leave it to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to get all logical and legal on us. Killjoy.

Speaking on John Gambling's radio show today, Mayor Bloomberg made it clear that he wouldn't be joining the mayors of Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco in their attempts to block Chick-fil-A from setting up shop in their cities.

See what he has to say after the jump.

On the heels of last week's bleak report from the Black AIDS Institute arrives some much-needed enthusiastic news.

In a study conducted by San Francisco University and presented over the weekend at the 19th Annual AIDS Conference in D.C., researchers unveiled statistics showing that black gay couples use condoms more than white gay couples. 

Sir, is that a gun in your pocket?

41-year-old Jonah Falcon was packing some seriously heavy artillery when he went through security at San Francisco International Airport on July 9.

One lucky (or unlucky, depending on your tastes) TSA officer had to do a pretty intensive pat-down when the man with what's being called "the world's largest penis" made his way through security.

Hmmm. We might have to ask our biological clocks to tick for another ten years.
