Sen. Wiener exits SF Trans March after Gaza confrontation
California state Sen. Scott Wiener, a leading advocate for LGBTQ+ and transgender rights, said he was surrounded and berated by protesters at San Francisco’s Trans March who accused him of supporting genocide in Gaza, forcing him to leave for safety. He also described a separate incident at a Mission District bar where he and staff were targeted, and, as he runs for Congress, Wiener has balanced defense of Israel’s right to exist with calls for a two-state solution.
