Tina D’Elia as Hibiscus de la Blossom in OUT of Site: Haight-Ashbury San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury was iconic as the center of 1960s - early ‘70s hippie counterculture. Often forgotten is its role in LGBTQ history. That role gets loving attention in performance-driven walking tour. SF’s Haight-Ashbury district was iconic as the center of the late 1960s - early ‘70s anti-war and sexual revolution counterculture. Often forgotten, though, is its role in LGBTQ liberation history. That role gets loving attention in OUT of Site s Haight-Ashbury queer historical walking tour through July 25. On this performance-driven tour, we meet glittery flower-power child Hibiscus de la Blossom – founder of the infamous psychedelic pansexual theater collective the Cockettes – and Peggy Caserta, a Haight Street clothier of the time who outfitted rock music legends like the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and Janis Joplin, who became one of Caserta’s lovers.
