===Hotbed for Homosexuality===
===Hotbed for Homosexuality===
San Francisco has the largest population of [[homosexual]]s in the nation of America, located in the urban neighborhood known as the Castro (from Castro Street, named for Mexican soldier Jose Castro<ref>[http://www.jdcjr.us/SFStreets.html San Francisco Street Names {A-G}]</ref>), which was usurped from families by an influx of many homosexuals in the 70s. It has become known as the "Gay Mecca", in an offensive analogy to the religious [[pilgrim]]s in [[Islam]] who are drawn to their holy city of [[Mecca]].

San Francisco has been the location of many flagrant [[gay pride]] marches and other parades which have degraded into drunkenness, public nudity, public sex, and in recent years, stabbings (2002) and shootings (2006)<ref>[http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E01EEDC133FF931A35752C1A9609C8B63 New York Times] Shooting in gay district at Halloween street party, October 2006</ref>. All this has been tolerated by the police and mayoral government and many citizens have been left apathetic to the matter, desensitized through the frequently excessive displays.
