WHY?s Up: The Castro (San Fransisco)

PhotobucketSo for those of you who don't know, the Castro area of San Fransisco is considered the gay capital of the world. With that being said, let's get on with this post.
PhotobucketRight, so the WHY?s Up crew went to the Castro yesterday to consuct more interviews. Needless to say, for most people (including myself) it was a very...interesting experience. For me, it was just really nice to see so many people unafraid to love who ever they wanted without being judged. For a lot of the girls, I don't think it was that big of a deal for them since there were mostly gay men (it surprised us all actually; we ecpected more lesbians to be out and about...hmmm). For the boys, well...they're slightly homophobic, so...yeah. Enough said, right?
PhotobucketWe saw a lot of interesting things while we were over there. For Example, Hot Cookie, which is a cookie/ice cream shop have their own underwear that you can buy. They even have a chocolate covered banana in the shape of a man's penis. That was really interesting, since I didn't think it was possible to make a banana look like that. Yeah...I don't believe minors are allowed to get those though...

Hey Jackie,

i like how you wrote your blog about castro street, i agree with you it was a little wierd walking around over there, it was also kind of funny because my group got kicked out of a store b/c we werent 18. after we got back i was at home watching tv and i was laughing cuz of that. and that cookie shop with the underwears in the window that was totallly wierd.

Hiii Jackie,

I saw that Hot Cookie shop with the underwear hanging outside. It was pretty weird, but whatever floats their boat. And yea... we did see some.. interesting things *cough* It was funny though, because we accidentally walked into an 'adult shop' and didn't get kicked out. I saw some.. things... that i didn't need to see *cough* >_>
