‘A one-acre learning tool’: Pink Triangle lights up Twin Peaks for Pride Month

Dozens of LGBTQ advocates and local officials marched from Oakland to San Francisco’s Twin Peaks on Tuesday to take part in the official illumination ceremony of the acre-sized Pink Triangle, marking the first day of Pride Month.

The event began at noon as more than 30 torchbearers and others took part in a Pink Torch Procession that started at Oakland City Hall and wound around Lake Merritt. The assembly, joined by Mayor Libby Schaaf, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and Dykes on Bikes, then continued across the Bay Bridge with a pink torch they delivered to San Francisco Mayor London Breed for the official illumination ceremony.
