Proving that political protest doesn't have to be po-faced: LGBTQ activists use music, dance and wit to
highlight poor pay and unsatisfactory health care provision for
hotel workers, in the lobby of the Westin St. Francis, San Francisco. Only in San Francisco could demonstrators sneak the words 'gay ass' into a song about working conditions.
Lovers of historical trivia will know that the Westin, whose rather grim towers loom over one side of Union Square, has been witness to a number of
remarkable events, including the
attempted assassination of Gerald Ford in 1975. It's also the hotel where Dashiel Hammett wrote (and set) many of his detective stories.
