On the corner of 19th and Castro lives the Eureka Valley of the Dolls. They are a group of a dozen or so 10 inch activists fighting for everything from marriage equality and circumcision laws to bicycle advocacy and trans rights. They cross the gamut of gay culture representing bears, leather daddies, the Sisters, drag queens and more. Don't be shocked to discover that some of these activists are clad in nothing but their birthday suit either. While most of the activists are gathered on 19th street, don't forget to round the corner onto Castro to see a Sister of Perpetual Indulgence and a couple of drag queens under a rainbow colored disco ball proclaiming, "IT'S CASTRO, BITCH!". Indeed it is.
