Bonjour,
As the last stop for American westward expansion on the continent, San Francisco has always been a haven for those seeking to escape the conservative traditions of the East Coast and Midwest. Because it's a major port, it also has attracted large numbers of people from all over Asia and the Pacific. During World War II, African-Americans came seeking wartime jobs in its shipyards. The LGTB community also has deep roots in San Francisco. The city was and is such a diverse and international city that the United Nations was founded in San Francisco in 1945 -- not in New York, as is commonly believed.
Long before the “flower children” of the 1960s, a culture of provincial rebellion was created during the Gold Rush, when individuality, excess and lawlessness prevailed. In the Barbary Coast, each day was a wild pageant, each man (woman) made his (her) own destiny and The City was wide open to all sorts of characters and ideas. To many who call it home today, and to much of the rest of the world, it still seems to be.
The influx of young people from the Summer of Love rippled throughout the city and in the wake of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York, too, a budding gay population began to establish itself in San Francisco's Castro District. Harvey Milk, who would be known first as "The Mayor of Castro Street" and then as an elected city supervisor, opened his camera store there in 1975. The Castro District became known around the country and the world and the gay population became an integral part of the city's culture, traditions, attractions and politics.
