Sausalito, which has long been considered a gay friendly community, just wrapped its inaugural, month long Pride Celebration. The festivities started on June 9 with an opening night event at Sausalito Center for the Arts, including a review of the new photography exhibit Homosocial.
In mid-June, author Bill W. Jones (Bachelor Father: The First Single Man to Legally Adopt a Child in America) headlined a book signing event at Sausalito Books by the Bay. Jazz and Blues by the Bay also held a dedicated Pride Night.
The monthlong celebration culminated with a drag-themed fundraiser hosted on July 1 by Sausalito Pride Ambassadors Wayne Kaleck and Michael Rose at Gene Hiller Menswear.
All events were spearheaded by a diverse team of volunteers in partnership with The Spahr Center, Marin County’s only LGBTQ+ nonprofit.
