This was the third time over the last 18 years that my wife and I have toured the Castro. By far, this time was the most informative and most enjoyable. Kathy led our tour, one complete with a historical perspective along with a political twist. The two hours passed by way too quickly , but by the end, I felt I had gained a better idea of how the LGBT+ community has been subjected to bigotry through the years and felt I had made many more open minded friends.
