After moving to Italy for high school, she found herself in Southern California for college, where she hoped she would finally fit in. But in America, nothing felt quite right.

He presented her with a new proposition. “It’s not just that there’s no upscale [wholesale] market for these spices. There’s a problem in the story that’s being told.

So far, Javeri Kadri has bought one ton of Prabhu’s turmeric, but with orders already streaming in for 2018, she plans to place another large order soon. For the foreseeable future, at least, Prabhu grows enough turmeric to continue meeting her demand. “He has enough supply for me [to buy] 25 tons, and I’ve bought one ton. So until I grow by 25, I don’t need to change farmers,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_125101\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/02/180201-diaspora-turmeric-farmer.jpg\" alt=\"Kasareni Prabhu (center) with his nephew (left), and Javeri Kadri (right). \" width=\"1200\" height=\"987\" class=\"size-full wp-image-125101\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/02/180201-diaspora-turmeric-farmer.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/02/180201-diaspora-turmeric-farmer-160x132.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/02/180201-diaspora-turmeric-farmer-800x658.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/02/180201-diaspora-turmeric-farmer-768x632.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/02/180201-diaspora-turmeric-farmer-1020x839.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/02/180201-diaspora-turmeric-farmer-1180x971.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/02/180201-diaspora-turmeric-farmer-960x790.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/02/180201-diaspora-turmeric-farmer-240x197.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/02/180201-diaspora-turmeric-farmer-375x308.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/02/180201-diaspora-turmeric-farmer-520x428.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kasareni Prabhu (center) with his nephew (left), and Javeri Kadri (right). \u003ccite>(Sana Javeri Kadri)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Even so, Prabhu’s farming methods are spreading among farmers in his area: Slowly, seeing what a good return Prabhu gets and how healthy his soil is, some have moved away from pesticide-heavy farming.

But sexism is hardly confined to the front-of-house. Professional kitchens have long been gendered. A disproportionate number of women end up as pastry chefs—a position associated with the sweet, delicate, and refined—while line chefs and executive chefs are almost always men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of top-ranked female chefs in the world remains insignificant, said Jennifer Berg, associate professor of food studies at New York University’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. “It’s barely changed in the last several decades.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Women in positions of power in the kitchen are often questioned for their choices. “There’s an element of guilt associated with women in kitchen positions in a way that there isn’t with men,” Berg explained. “She needs to explain and rationalize how she has chosen this career, which is arguably physically demanding, [with] really long hours, unconventional hours.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Queer women setting foot in the culinary world often find themselves in “no man’s land,” Berg explained. They’re often excluded from pastry work, but still discriminated against for being female in the realm of executive chefs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, anyone who is not a cisgender man can often face difficulties fitting into traditional kitchens. Berg suggests that queer men and trans people may face even greater challenges than queer women, who are often expected to play masculine roles in the kitchen, “even if it’s a performance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Berg said LGBTQ women in the food industry bear a unique burden: the expectation of militancy. “Where there’s a LGBTQ chef who identifies as a female, the assumption is she’s going to be an activist, a vegan. The assumption is that she’s going to stand for something,” Berg said. “It’s such an unrealistic expectation, and an unfair vantage point to put someone in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Civil Eats spoke with four prominent queer women chefs about how their identities have shaped their experience in the industry.

That person just needs to get a thicker skin and get over it.” They would rather [respond that way] to a gender-nonconforming person or that woman who’s experiencing sexual harassment, than just say to the macho line cooks: “Hey, fucking quit it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>An Evolving Identity\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>I identify as a lesbian, and also as queer and gender-nonbinary.

But I also knew that when I was four years old, I had insisted to everyone that I was a boy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the late ‘90s, early 2000s, all my friends started transitioning and becoming guys. I struggled with that for a couple years, trying to decide if that was the right path for me.

When it became clear that my wife and I were married—and that we’d be serving them and cooking—it was very obvious it made them uncomfortable. They ended up deciding to get up and leave. I recall feeling disappointed that I didn’t have the guts to say something.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moving forward, we had incredible diners. I feel very lucky that most of them were not only accepting of our relationship but celebrated it. But there were one or two occasions when heterosexual men hit on my wife, not knowing that we were married. There were people who asked if we were sisters or roommates, never expecting that we were wives. People messed up my gender multiple times, and asked my wife if I was her husband.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And their reactions, their tone, and the way they asked the questions seemed extremely off-putting and very offensive, especially because most diners don’t ask their servers personal questions in the way they were asking us. There were a lot of situations that felt very invasive, and we did not feel that these things would’ve ever happened if we were a straight couple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was very difficult to not let those things seep into our relationship. The biggest challenge was watching each other feel bad at work, or be mistreated, and not be able to defend each other, because we were in a professional setting. But it never made us question our relationship or who we were.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>Navigating a Shifting Identity in the Kitchen\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>When I first started in the industry in college, I was comfortable telling people I was close to that I was gay, but I did not tell everybody. I wasn’t as masculinely presenting as I am now. I realized I was more at risk of being treated the way that other women are treated [in restaurants] because of how I was presenting myself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I became more comfortable with myself and wanting to look the way I felt inside in terms of feeling more masculine than feminine, I saw how people treated me differently.

I don’t present myself as a butch woman, but there is that stereotype that women in the kitchen [should be] masculine. If you’re strong and you run a tight kitchen, the assumption is either you’re butch, or you’re a bitch. I’d rather be called efficient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of things are said behind my back. Sometimes I forget, but reality will snap me back every now and then. There are people out there who want to know, “How can she be as good as they say she is if she’s a Black lesbian?” At the end of the day, all I want to be is a great chef.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>A “Man’s Profession”\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>As a chef, the problem is not as much being African-American or being a lesbian. It’s being female, period. In all male-dominated industries, the women have to deal with sexual innuendos and comments. As a lesbian, I don’t hear it as much, but I still hear it. I hear from men who say they’re going to “turn” me [straight].\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I grew up with my mom and my grandma cooking. They could tote and lift heavy amounts of food. So I’m not quite sure how, all of a sudden, it’s a man’s profession.

As Michelle Zunter, a former waitress, recently \u003ca href=\"https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/when-i-realized-that-my-me-toos-were-too-many-to_us_59e4e623e4b003f928d5e8ca\">wrote\u003c/a>, sexual harassment is routine at many restaurants. But sexism is hardly confined to the front-of-house. Professional kitchens have long been gendered. A disproportionate number of women end up as pastry chefs—a position associated with the sweet, delicate, and refined—while line chefs and executive chefs are almost always men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of top-ranked female chefs in the world remains insignificant, said Jennifer Berg, associate professor of food studies at New York University’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. “It’s barely changed in the last several decades.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Women in positions of power in the kitchen are often questioned for their choices. “There’s an element of guilt associated with women in kitchen positions in a way that there isn’t with men,” Berg explained. “She needs to explain and rationalize how she has chosen this career, which is arguably physically demanding, [with] really long hours, unconventional hours.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Queer women setting foot in the culinary world often find themselves in “no man’s land,” Berg explained. They’re often excluded from pastry work, but still discriminated against for being female in the realm of executive chefs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, anyone who is not a cisgender man can often face difficulties fitting into traditional kitchens. Berg suggests that queer men and trans people may face even greater challenges than queer women, who are often expected to play masculine roles in the kitchen, “even if it’s a performance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Berg said LGBTQ women in the food industry bear a unique burden: the expectation of militancy. “Where there’s a LGBTQ chef who identifies as a female, the assumption is she’s going to be an activist, a vegan. The assumption is that she’s going to stand for something,” Berg said. “It’s such an unrealistic expectation, and an unfair vantage point to put someone in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Civil Eats spoke with four prominent queer women chefs about how their identities have shaped their experience in the industry.

Everyone’s first assumption was that I wasn’t going to carry my own weight.

I’d clean the hood and the filters at the end of the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, I did experience a certain amount of masculine privilege, and I have throughout my career as a line cook, in that I can very easily be seen as one of the guys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re not checking out my ass, they’re not trying to flirt with me.

There’s a lot more diversity ethnically, racially, and in terms of gender and sexual orientation. It’s incredibly intentional. Some of the people who are more used to a traditional restaurant environment don’t last in my kitchen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lots of chefs and restaurateurs say, “The kitchen’s just the kitchen. That person just needs to get a thicker skin and get over it.” They would rather [respond that way] to a gender-nonconforming person or that woman who’s experiencing sexual harassment, than just say to the macho line cooks: “Hey, fucking quit it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>An Evolving Identity\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>I identify as a lesbian, and also as queer and gender-nonbinary. When I came out in 1994, I had no idea what trans or gender-nonbinary was. Living in San Francisco, I immediately identified with what I saw around me, which was this term \u003cem>butch lesbian\u003c/em>. That was where I felt I belonged. But I also knew that when I was four years old, I had insisted to everyone that I was a boy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the late ‘90s, early 2000s, all my friends started transitioning and becoming guys. I struggled with that for a couple years, trying to decide if that was the right path for me. I think at some point, I realized just because I identify as female and use the pronouns \u003cem>she\u003c/em> and \u003cem>her\u003c/em> doesn’t mean that I have to be this feminine person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I still identify really strongly with my trans male friends. I share their experience every day when I walk into a public restroom or I’m in an airport security line. I am part of that larger family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our new restaurant, Navi Kitchen, has a lot of social justice artwork. My wife got this beautiful piece of artwork that’s on the door to our bathroom and it says, “Your gender is beautiful.” I cried when she showed it to me.

Then my wife and I moved to Brooklyn, and it became clear to us that we wanted to do our own thing creatively. The experiences I had in other kitchens prepped me for the experiences with customers at Take Root—but not enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In our restaurant, I was interacting with customers on a very personal level. Our relationship was on the forefront of everything, and that became very difficult, to say the least. We were putting ourselves out there very publicly.

When it became clear that my wife and I were married—and that we’d be serving them and cooking—it was very obvious it made them uncomfortable. They ended up deciding to get up and leave. I recall feeling disappointed that I didn’t have the guts to say something.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moving forward, we had incredible diners. I feel very lucky that most of them were not only accepting of our relationship but celebrated it. But there were one or two occasions when heterosexual men hit on my wife, not knowing that we were married. There were people who asked if we were sisters or roommates, never expecting that we were wives. People messed up my gender multiple times, and asked my wife if I was her husband.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And their reactions, their tone, and the way they asked the questions seemed extremely off-putting and very offensive, especially because most diners don’t ask their servers personal questions in the way they were asking us. There were a lot of situations that felt very invasive, and we did not feel that these things would’ve ever happened if we were a straight couple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was very difficult to not let those things seep into our relationship. The biggest challenge was watching each other feel bad at work, or be mistreated, and not be able to defend each other, because we were in a professional setting. But it never made us question our relationship or who we were.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>Navigating a Shifting Identity in the Kitchen\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>When I first started in the industry in college, I was comfortable telling people I was close to that I was gay, but I did not tell everybody. I wasn’t as masculinely presenting as I am now.

I don’t look like a lot of the other chefs. I am often the only one of this identity in a room, and it can be quite lonely sometimes. But I remember that I have been blessed. I represent those who haven’t made it yet and I have a responsibility to represent them well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first time I dated a woman, I hid it from my friends, my family, and definitely from my clients. I owned a restaurant back then called Edible Art. I had some very high-profile clients. I didn’t want them to say, “Oh no, I don’t want her food,” or look at me weird. One day, it dawned on me that I was doing this person who I cared about, who was out, an injustice by not letting people know we were in a relationship. I felt that if people couldn’t accept me for the person that I was—I was still the same person with the same talent—then I didn’t need to do business with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>The Pressure to Defy Stereotypes\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>I first identify as a human being.

I don’t have a lot of use for labels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trying to get away from some of the stereotypes—that’s a big pressure for me. I don’t present myself as a butch woman, but there is that stereotype that women in the kitchen [should be] masculine. If you’re strong and you run a tight kitchen, the assumption is either you’re butch, or you’re a bitch. I’d rather be called efficient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of things are said behind my back. Sometimes I forget, but reality will snap me back every now and then. There are people out there who want to know, “How can she be as good as they say she is if she’s a Black lesbian?” At the end of the day, all I want to be is a great chef.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>A “Man’s Profession”\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>As a chef, the problem is not as much being African-American or being a lesbian. It’s being female, period. In all male-dominated industries, the women have to deal with sexual innuendos and comments. As a lesbian, I don’t hear it as much, but I still hear it. I hear from men who say they’re going to “turn” me [straight].\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I grew up with my mom and my grandma cooking. They could tote and lift heavy amounts of food. So I’m not quite sure how, all of a sudden, it’s a man’s profession.

It's a legacy that Birdsall thinks more people--especially straight chefs--should acknowledge. \"I love \u003ca href=\"http://luckypeach.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Lucky Peach\u003c/a> [magazine],\" said Birdsall. \"But the first couple of issues were really reflective of that male, straight, bro-y chef culture.\" It was this narrowly macho focus that led Birdsall to set the record less than straight with \u003ca href=\"http://luckypeach.com/america-your-food-is-so-gay/\" target=\"_blank\">America, Your Food is So Gay\u003c/a>, which won a James Beard Journalism Award in 2014. Birdsall, now 56, remembers he and a boyfriend reading aloud from Olney's writings, feeling like they were getting a glimpse of a secret gay world, one that was, by necessity, elusive, both cooly cerebral yet infused with the sensuality of Olney's adopted home in the south of France, its brilliant light, its hillsides of thyme and lavender. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what was coded and discrete before was, by the 1990s, exploding into \u003cem>we're here, we're queer, get used to it\u003c/em>, especially in San Francisco.

Is there a recognizable queer style or sensibility that can be expressed through food? Can non-gay chefs queer their food?

It's a legacy that Birdsall thinks more people--especially straight chefs--should acknowledge. \"I love \u003ca href=\"http://luckypeach.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Lucky Peach\u003c/a> [magazine],\" said Birdsall. \"But the first couple of issues were really reflective of that male, straight, bro-y chef culture.\" It was this narrowly macho focus that led Birdsall to set the record less than straight with \u003ca href=\"http://luckypeach.com/america-your-food-is-so-gay/\" target=\"_blank\">America, Your Food is So Gay\u003c/a>, which won a James Beard Journalism Award in 2014. Birdsall, now 56, remembers he and a boyfriend reading aloud from Olney's writings, feeling like they were getting a glimpse of a secret gay world, one that was, by necessity, elusive, both cooly cerebral yet infused with the sensuality of Olney's adopted home in the south of France, its brilliant light, its hillsides of thyme and lavender. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what was coded and discrete before was, by the 1990s, exploding into \u003cem>we're here, we're queer, get used to it\u003c/em>, especially in San Francisco. When Preeti Mistry, co-owner and head chef of Oakland's \u003ca href=\"http://www.juhubeachclub.com\" target=\"_blank\">Juhu Beach Club\u003c/a>, first came to San Francisco in 1996, she found out lesbians like Elizabeth Falkner, Traci Des Jardins, and Elka Gilmore putting their stamp on the evolving California cuisine of the time. Mistry, who originally wanted to be a filmmaker, was inspired by these chefs' creativity and fearlessness, so much so that she left a job in the \"gay bubble\" of \u003ca href=\"http://frameline.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Frameline\u003c/a> to start training in fine dining at Claridge's in London. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_110361\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 3024px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/JarryEvent6-new.jpg\" alt=\"Writer John Birdsall, photographer Nik Sharma, restauranteur/chef Preeti Mistry, in conversation with Jarry editor Lukas Volger.\" width=\"3024\" height=\"3024\" class=\"size-full wp-image-110361\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/JarryEvent6-new.jpg 3024w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/JarryEvent6-new-400x400.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/JarryEvent6-new-800x800.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/JarryEvent6-new-768x768.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/JarryEvent6-new-1440x1440.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/JarryEvent6-new-1180x1180.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/JarryEvent6-new-960x960.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/JarryEvent6-new-150x150.jpg 150w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/JarryEvent6-new-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/JarryEvent6-new-50x50.jpg 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/JarryEvent6-new-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/JarryEvent6-new-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/JarryEvent6-new-128x128.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3024px) 100vw, 3024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Writer John Birdsall, photographer Nik Sharma, restauranteur/chef Preeti Mistry, in conversation with Jarry editor Lukas Volger. \u003ccite>(Stephanie Rosenbaum Klassen)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"These women were my heroes,\" she said. It wasn't just that these women were out, at a time when restaurant kitchens could still be tough places for women, gay or straight. It was that they were changing the game, on and off the plate. \"At Citizen Cake, Elizabeth changed the presentation of pastry,\" said Mistry. Her cakes were architectural, pierced with sugar shards or kitschily frosted shag-carpet deep. They were disruptive, deconstructed, even a little bit dangerous. (It's no surprise that her first cookbook, written in the form of a comic book, was titled \"Demolition Desserts.\") Mistry remembers a dinner with Jim Dodge, then a well-known pastry chef trained in a more classical style. \"When Elizabeth's dessert came out, he said 'What is this crap?'\" It was a clash of sensibilities, his gay, hers queer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For photographer Nik Sharma of the blog \u003ca href=\"http://www.abrowntable.com/\" target=\"_blank\">A Brown Table\u003c/a>, and the youngest of the group, coming out wasn't an issue, but finding a gay social circle when he first started medical school wasn't easy.

With any large gathering, my thoughts inevitably turn to food and drink: after all, people watching and marching can make anyone ravenous and wondering “where's my next snack?” Dykes and in-the-know San Franciscans from all over the Kinsey spectrum had tips about the Dyke March. One advised to bring food from home and a longtime Castro resident said to seek out eateries off of the parade path. But if you don't feel like prepping food and don't want to miss out on the festivities we have collected a list of eateries and bars that are on the traditional march route.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three of the most popular hangouts are on one block of 18th Street: Dolores Park Cafe, Delfina, and Pizzeria Delfina. For these three hot spots, I was able to find out what it's like for those always popular eateries to participate in the Dyke March. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_83648\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/Dyke-March-photo-courtesy-DPCafe1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/Dyke-March-photo-courtesy-DPCafe1000.jpg\" alt=\"Dyke March at Dolores Park Cafe.

It's something that we look forward to every year and with our prime front row seating -- it's something that our guests look forward too as well.

With any large gathering, my thoughts inevitably turn to food and drink: after all, people watching and marching can make anyone ravenous and wondering “where's my next snack?” Dykes and in-the-know San Franciscans from all over the Kinsey spectrum had tips about the Dyke March. One advised to bring food from home and a longtime Castro resident said to seek out eateries off of the parade path. But if you don't feel like prepping food and don't want to miss out on the festivities we have collected a list of eateries and bars that are on the traditional march route.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three of the most popular hangouts are on one block of 18th Street: Dolores Park Cafe, Delfina, and Pizzeria Delfina. For these three hot spots, I was able to find out what it's like for those always popular eateries to participate in the Dyke March. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_83648\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/Dyke-March-photo-courtesy-DPCafe1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/Dyke-March-photo-courtesy-DPCafe1000.jpg\" alt=\"Dyke March at Dolores Park Cafe.
