TL;DR

San Francisco state Sen. Scott Wiener was chased out of the Trans March during the Pride weekend kickoff after protesters criticized his Israel/Gaza stance. Wiener said he faced verbal and physical harassment and left for safety. The video of the confrontation circulated widely, underscoring a pattern at Trans March of politicians being booed or pressed to leave, including past incidents with Ed Lee and Mark Leno; Connie Chan appeared unchallenged. The episode feeds into broader national attention around Israel-Palestine debates within local LGBTQ+ communities.
