Castro Street

Castro street, or "the Castro" is commonly referred to as San Francisco's gay district. In the 1950s, a large number of families moved out of Castro street, leaving it a primarily minority-driven area. This lowered rent prices and made the area more enticing to the gay community.

This street was on my list of topics to cover because it was where Harvey Milk lived and had his camera shop. In 2011, the first GLBT museum was opened in the United States, and continues to be one of the most popular attractions in the Castro.

Today, the Castro is reliant on gay tourism and holds many LGBT events to bring in income. Many people travel to the Castro for the atmosphere of acceptance or the historical sites in the area.

Cruisin' on a Sunday afternoon in the Castro, circa September 1977

“Symbolic monarchs King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands will pop into the Castro on Tuesday (Twin Peaks Tavern, even!), so expect a little more security than usual that morning.”

“This coming Tuesday, September 6, is the day after Labor Day. And as such, you would expect the crusty revelers who have been off at Burning Man to be slowly filing back into town. But apparently a far more dignified ilk will be arriving in San Francisco that morning as well.”

According to a press release, the royal couple is coming to “learn more about the history of the LGBTI+ community in San Francisco and exchange experiences on supporting LGBTI+ rights on a local and international level.”

Paper collage made by Oscar Graves (me!)

I made this collage as part of the Windows for Harvey program in the Castro. My collage is on display at the window of 2375 Market Street, San Francisco for the month of May 2023. If you live in the Bay Area you should check it out!
