San Francisco Voice

San Francisco lends itself well to words about the city. It is a place where passion thrives. But it is also a place where single life is common. There are many young people here, transient people who are moving through the city for just a few years. The urban life is conducive to the temporary nature of human relationships. As such, today’s simple quote is appropriate on so many levels, for the singles here who fall in love with the city, making it the seat of their heart, if only for a little while.
I have never loved a man the …read more

 This week’s lesson in love is: 
You can get what you want if you know what that is.
Where does everyone in San Francisco go to get anything that they need?  If you’re from here, you didn’t hesitate before you answered “Craigslist”.  It’s the first stop for anyone in the city who is looking for a job, a friend, a one night stand, a list of the day’s events, a ride to another city, an apartment or just a place to rant and rave.  And the great thing about “Craigslist” in San Francisco (as opposed to some of the other cities where …read more

We’ve learned a lot from rock climbing lessons in love (see here if you don’t know what I’m talking about) but it’s time for San Fran Voice to move on to learning about love from other San Francisco activities.  In sticking, just for this week, to the theme of sports activity in San Francisco, we’ll take a look at another one which (like with rock climbing), I tried for awhile, loved and gave up.  The sport activity was super slow strength training.  And the lesson I learned from it that applies to one’s love life was:

For the past couple of months, San Fran Voice has been giving you lessons in love learned from the art of indoor rock climbing.  While that’s been fun, I’ve been slacking on the rock climbing these days so I’m taking a break from those lessons.  But, since San Francisco is a city where it’s easy to be seduced, there are plenty of other places here where love can be learned.

San Fran Voice usually loves the silly and strange YouTube videos, but every once in awhile, we want to take a look at the serious.  This clip touches on issues tangential to gay marriage which are directly affected by the fact that same sex marriage is not legal and discusses one marriage which took place during Newsom’s famous period of marrying gay couples in San Francisco.
