Hodges and SF gay pride which is where I made a lot of friends. Whether it is going for drinks in the Castro, dressing up for the Folsom street fair or going to social events at Oscar Wilde, Cal has provided an amazing sense of acceptance and a safe space.

Whoever could predominantly show their Mexican heritage would be held at a great regard for not neglecting their roots.
