June 28, 1969, the police raided the Stonewall Inn in New York's Greenwich Village which sparked the [Stonewall riots](http://www.civilrights.org/archives/2009/06/449-stonewall.html). This was one of the first well-known instances of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rebellion. One year later to the date, on [June 28, 1970](http://sfpride.org/heritage/) the first Pride was held in San Francisco, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Back to the present SF Pride 2012 marks the [42nd anniversary of the San Francisco Pride](http://sfpride.org/celebration/) Celebration and Parade. Now, that's what we call history with personality.   **When is SF Pride 2012?** Saturday, June 23 in San Francisco's Civic Center Plaza from Noon to 6:00 p.m. Sunday, June 24 in San Francisco's Civic Center from 11:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. [![SF Gay Pride Map](http://sfpride.org/_img/map-2012_640w.png)](http://sfpride.org/faq/) **Where is SF Pride 2012?** San Francisco Civic Center --along Market Street begining at 10:30 a.m. on Beale Street on Saturday, June 23 in San Francisco's Civic Center Plaza.   **Ok...
