    GOD'S rainbow has been hijacked!(Genesis 9:11-12) He created the rainbow and placed it in the sky to make a covenant between Himself and His children to never flood the earth with water again! God shall not be mocked! Pride goes before destruction!

    It is a colorful Rainbow Crosswalks in all four directions at the corner of Castro and 18th Street. In addition, You will find plaques on the sidewalks throughout the district with many along Castro Street around 18th, it honors those that have fought for LGBTQ rights throughout the years.

    Iconic San Francisco! This is a must see to San Francisco. Make sure to stop by the other LGBTQ sites like the Rainbow Walk, Gay History Museum, and Harvey Milk Camera Shop (now Human Rights Campaign store).

    This is a very cool cross walk in San Francisco. It is painted with rainbows and is a symbol for equally in the world. It was a very nice change of pace when I walked by wile on vacation. If only to do the rainbow walk it is worth it to come to this part of town.

    Very colorful, rainbow cross walk. Gay pride every where. Seems like a good place for pictures. Also pretty busy. I can't say that I've been a lot I was visiting family in the area. I would say it's worth taking a look at if you're close by. I'm not sure what's around but I do remember a sex shop up the street and a few murals in the area.

    Shops with pride and equally products. Businesses with Helpful service and customer friendly to everyone. In my experience there was a feeling of rich history and thankfulness for those who took those first steps to equally.

    What a simple way to bring pride to an intersection. Hope we’ll see more of these as the movement progresses. Great place for a pic while enjoying the Castro.
