LGBT Plaques
along Market Street
between Castro and Noe streets
Our crews installed eight more bronze plaques along the Rainbow Honor Walk in the Castro District to
highlight the contributions of political and cultural pioneers in the LGBT community.
The first set of 20 sidewalk tributes was installed in 2014 on Castro Street and 19th Street. The latest batch
went in on Market Street between Castro and Noe streets. The honorees include Rikki Streicher, proprietor
of several lesbian bars; drag queen José Sarria, who founded the Imperial Court System; Glenn Burke,
a Major League Baseball player; We’Wha, a Zuni Native American two spirit/mixedgender tribal leader;
astronaut Sally Ride; civil rights activist Kiyoshi Kuromiya; U.S. Rep. Barbara Jordan; and poet Fereydoun
Farrokhzad.
