(PM.) On Sunday, the infamous Folsom Street Fair took place in San Francisco, with the kink festival celebrating its 40th year.
California state Senator Scott Wiener, who has been photographed at the event in previous years, applauded the day as “one of the best days of the year in San Francisco.”

Today is Folsom Street Fair! One of the best days of the year in San Francisco
We kicked it off with the amazing Donna Sachet’s 25th annual Folsom Leather Brunch. I’m so grateful to Donna & all of the kick ass community leaders who make our city a better place. pic.twitter.com/BvZuI8KX5i

“We kicked it off with the amazing Donna Sachet’s 25th annual Folsom Leather Brunch. I’m so grateful to Donna & all of the kick *ss community leaders who make our city a better place,” Wiener wrote on X, posting photos of himself alongside a drag queen who was holding a California Senate certificate of recognition.
Folsom Street describes itself as “committed to cultivating a safe, open, and inclusive environment for the kink, leather, and alternative sexuality communities while centering equity for BIPOC and LGBTQA2I+ people in our work. We are rooted historically in the fight against gentrification and displacement both here in San Francisco, on unceded Ohlone land, and worldwide.”
Photos and videos of the event circulating on social media show men dressed in fetish attire openly participating in sexual acts on the public street.
One photo shows two men sitting in a kiddie pool while another standing along the side pees into it.
This would be the street fair where you can see grown men fucking each other on the streets like dogs and if you’re feeling hot you can jump in a kiddy pool and have a man piss on you.
What a delightful place. https://t.co/EJ0hQBJpju pic.twitter.com/JiL0WiVU2G— Aja the Empress ♀️ (@Aja02537920) September 25, 2023
The pool was set up by the Yellow and Black Group, a group for people who participate in “water sports (piss play).”
On their website, the group said their booth, set up at the street event, would have a sign that read along the lines of: “Anyone can climb in, dressed any way they want. Climbing in = consent to be pissed on. Photo-shy? Loaner hoods are available. Pee-shy? Take your time; piss pigs are very patient. Not used to standing up? Ask for a disposable ‘female urination device.’ Keep the piss in the pool and off the street. We discourage body contact during piss play (i.e. no ‘sex’, please). No sh*t. Have fun!”
“It’s fun, it’s (relatively) safe, and it’s wonderfully shocking to the muggles,” the group added.
