The Castro, Twin Peaks & the LGBTQ+ History of San Francisco
The Castro — the neighbourhood in west-central San Francisco that became, from the late 1960s onwards, the most famous and historically significant LGBTQ+ neighbourhood in the world — is the site where the modern American gay rights movement took political form, where Harvey Milk became the first openly gay person elected to public office in California (as San Francisco city supervisor in 1977), and where the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s-90s devastated a generation of the neighbourhood's residents.
