This march is for DYKES. Dykes gather at the Dyke March to celebrate our love and passion for women and for ALL dykes. We celebrate our queerness in all its manifestations. We understand DYKE IDENTITY to include those of us who are questioning and challenging gender constructs and the social definitions of women, and who are gender fluid. We also welcome all women who want to support dykes to march with us. Celebrate Dyke Diversity!
We continue to hold the Dyke March as DYKE-ONLY SPACE. We invite our male allies to enjoy our Dolores Park rally with us, and during our march to the Castro, to please support us from the sidelines.
Who We Are
The coordinating committee is a crew of community-oriented dykes who come together from varying backgrounds through our love of dykes and for the San Francisco Dyke March. We are grateful for the work of the DM's founders (the Original Girls) over its first 13 years, for their continued guidance, and for the foundation they laid that we now stand upon in our work to keep the annual March thriving. We are femmes, butches, and otherwise-identified; dykes-of-color, dykes of mixed race, Jewish dykes, and white dykes; dykes of varying ages and classes. Some of us identify as queer, or as genderqueer.
We are each of us dykes seeking to put our myriad talents to use for our communities. This committee could not bring you each year's Dyke March without the help of dedicated volunteers, exceptional performers willing to donate their phenomenal talent at fundraisers and at the rally, small businesses (most of which are dyke- and woman-owned) donating services, a few small grants and a lot of t-shirt sales (buy those t- shirts, tanks and raffle tickets!). Thank you!
