"Up Your Alley is only for real players and not for the faint of heart where leather daddies rule the streets of San Francisco's South of Market district. Of course, if rubber, sportswear, biker gear, skinheads, punks, or any variety of built, hairy men turns you on, then we've got it. You won't find a filthier event in the States. If you're into it, there's a scene for you. So, don't get left out." a site promoting the event said.

"Located in front of the legendary Powerhouse bar, nearly 15,000 fellow leather men and fetish enthusiasts engage in BDSM play at over 50 adult vendor spaces! Spanking, punching, whips and floggers, bondage, domination and submission, creative watersports, toys and so much more are in full effect." the site said.

San Francisco on Thursday declared a state of emergency over monkeypox.
The mayor of San Francisco declared a state of emergency after the city reported 261 cases of monkeypox.

The emergency declaration will take effect on Monday.

SF is a blight now.

Unpopular take-- even for a 2A gun nut like myself--


This is bad form by the gay community in San Fran.

As is the folks in Hondo wanting to put on a gun show this weekend right down the road from Uvalde.

Read the room folks.

Coming to the faculty lounge of an elementary school near you!

I can't wait to hear about this being a super spreader (pun intended) event for the monkey pox.

Remember when they cancelled march madness due to COVID?

Jesus christ. What a ****ing clown world we live in.

Now? It has always been a blight.

This should be the diversity reference that new students put on their woke A&M application

MP gonna be spiking…

Schlong COVID Super Spreader

Gay.

Can we go back to the days when San Francisco would burn to the ground on a regular basis?

That's Sodom-level wickedness.

Oh and yeah not gay at all

In addition to this weekend being the famous Gilroy Garlic Festival down south, in SoMa this is the weekend for the Up Your Alley street fair more commonly referred to as "Dore Alley."

On Sunday, LGBT folk though primarily gay men in the leather community will take over the two blocks of Folsom Street on either side of Dore Street, as well as the alley itself, for an afternoon of drinking, dancing, and open-air sexual deviance.

Folsom Street Events bills the fair as "Folsom Street Fair's dirty little brother," and indeed in recent years it has tended to be a bit more sexually explicit and less tourist-friendly than the much larger Folsom Street Fair in September. "Up Your Alley is only for real players and not for the faint of heart where leather daddies rule the streets of San Francisco's South of Market district," the website reads.
Drawing about 15,000 people compared to the 250,000 or more who attend Folsom Dore Alley tends to feel like more of a community affair, and a (mostly) gay-male block party for both fetishists and local gawkers alike.
But the two fairs that occur eight weeks apart used to be two unaffiliated events, though Up Your Alley has always been the smaller and arguably dirtier of the two.

So the above photo I posted must from the "family friendly" event according to other posters on this thread.

Who said it was family friendly? Don't start lying now.

Oops misquoted -- tourist friendly.

The sooner the big one hits San Francisco, the better.

Well, looks like they think they are the new woke U.S. Armed Forces.

This kinda crap is going to get us into a war. This crap and the weakness the Xiden Admin is showing to the world.

Can we stop with the masking, booster, and social distancing charade?

I just don't understand why San Fran wanted people to mask up but when monkeypox happens? They do this?

Awesome @SFAIDSFound guidance on monkeypox & fun. We can continue to have fun while reducing risk.

Closing bathhouses in 1980s didn’t reduce HIV. It was an epic blunder & pushed people into the shadows.

Let’s not make that same knee-jerk mistake with MPX https://t.co/IKs14tweXW

The federal govt’s inept response to COVID led to uncontrolled spread & countless deaths.

From the early testing debacle to current testing bottlenecks to the early claim that masks are bad, it’s been a disaster.

Let’s build a real public health system. https://t.co/my02ZLyQDt

It was once the banking capital of the West Coast. It may actually still be, but it has had a lot of weirdos since the 1950s

Fetishes have been around since recorded man. Kink has, probably as well to some degree. However, we have had to suffer this crap in normal communities in public since "Pride" has become an issue.

Kids see this stuff. Have some control, and some responsibility to the innocence of children. It is not for the streets. It is meant for your bedroom. Keep it that way. This is where stigmas come from. Have some self control. Curtail the activities, curtail the stigma.

Grow up.

Ah... I remember my naivete like it was yesterday.
Fall 1998, first business trip to the Bay Area and two of my childhood friends thought it would be hilarious to take me to the Folsom Street Fair.

They got a huge laugh out of my reaction to the first pair of assless chaps I saw. And that was tame compared to some of the other things I've seen on the streets of San Francisco.

Daddies are going to run the street? Groomers gonna groom some boys.

They're godless degenerates.

but, but, but... they just want the ability to be married.

Degenerates, all of them.

God the west coast is giving you the middle finger asking what are you going to do about it.

I'm surprised God hasn't destroyed San Fran by now.

It's really about the authorities and their gaslighting. Lockdowns for Covid, but not for blm protests and degenerate sex festivals during a std pandemic. No church gatherings, no being alone on a beach, only two per boat, shut down businesses, but they rationalize their approval of protected class activities that are obviously similar or worse.

Tar and feathers, Boston tea party stuff is the least that is warranted.

Ducking fisgusting.

A pox on all their houses

I'm pretty sure the Pox isn't on their houses.

I can see why this particular festival, located in San Fran, would be of specific concern regarding monkey pox.
