'It was a win only made possible by my sports activism work that exposed Bay to Breakers' blatant exclusion of a non-binary awards category and rallied the community for change,' Cal Calamia said.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Controversy surrounded Bay to Breakers in the days leading up to the historic San Francisco 12K.

The race website says,"Bay to Breakers is a celebration of life, laughter, and the personality of San Francisco." Many argued that the company's actions showed just the opposite. They reached out to Capstone Event Group about awarding non-binary participants in the 2022 race. In so many words, the company told Calamia,"No."

Fierté 🥰 ! Cal Calamia, 25 ans, 1st Vainqueur Non-binaire 💛🤍💜🖤 de la Course à Pied Annuelle ' Bay to Breakers 2022 ' de la baie de San Francisco 🥰

Bay to breakers is an actual race? I thought it was just people in costumes, drinking and meandering through the city?

Stupid headline

“Twenty-five-year-old San Francisco teacher Cal Calamia registered for the race as non-binary. They transitioned in 2018 and serve as a trans activist and community ally outside of the classroom.” “They”? Are you serious?

What does that mean? Congratulations.

I'm all for being yourself and demanding equal treatment. We have God given rights at birth, my belief. And constitutional rights, of course. But, do we need to categorize a trans/non-binary category/prize for every sport/competition? What's next, Chess, water polo? Long list.

2 genders. Either you are born with a vagina or a penis. Stop feeding the BS.

Men and Women are different…

Congratulations but you’re not the first male to win Bay to Breakers.

Congratulations 🎉 I hope to be educated on what that means!!

Da heck?!

🙄

Being non-binary has created a binary situation where it's either binary, or non-binary, meaning it's binary again.

Congrats Non Binary Person

Homelessness Up in Bay Area, Down Slightly in San FranciscoHomelessness increased nearly 9% in the San Francisco Bay Area over the last three years, despite hundreds of millions of dollars spent to keep people off the streets during the coronavirus pandemic. Preliminary numbers released Monday show that more than 35,000 people were counted earlier this year living in shelters or outdoors in a federally required survey. San Francisco appeared to be the one bright spot, seeing homelessness decline slightly. Alameda County reported a 22% increase in this year’s point-in-time survey while neighboring Contra Costa County saw a 35% jump. Housing advocates said the increases would have been higher without strong government aid. Gee I wonder where they all went. sanjose Ha!!! No way. Whomever was doing the counting must have been asleep! The homeless in the city is taking over! No one has done anything about the homeless except talk… so the situation just gets worse! people are not mentally ill, they are addicted to drugs, that have created the mental problems, with the right medical treatment it can all be clean up the right way, not trading one drug for another drug} 1. what do these drug do to the body, 2. not jails or prison, since 1980's
