Present, when we are authentic and when we are transparent and those are your dues to be present, authentic and transparent. You see, im getting old and im getting tired and im getting weary. Of trusting the system for the change that is not happening. The change that is not coming. The change that is not on the way. No doubt about it, your dues are due until our 8 and 10yearolds stop taking their lives because they cant deal with the bullying. Our dues are due. Until our transgender people of color can walk up and down any streets in this nation, unharmed. Your dues are due. Until all lgbtq folks are no longer attacked on the streets of San Francisco, your dues are due. [applause] your dues are due until we cross that finish line.

This month, millions of lgbtq americans march through the streets with pride, celebrating the beautiful diversity and best regards, nancy pelosi. [applause] our next speaker is a person of considerable distinction. In 1969, he was the first single adult in america to adopt a child. The fact that he did that as a gay man is really profound. He was also or tainted by mayor Gavin Newsome and has the distinction of marrying the most number of couples during the summer of love at city hall. He is the original owner of the rainbow flag apartments. He was the one who put up the name rainbow flag, who put up the flag itself and also as i said before, he was the one that gave us a chance.

My name is doctor ellen moffett, i am an assistant medical examiner for the city and county of San Francisco. I perform autopsy, review medical records and write reports.
