Headlining this year's Pride Festival is San Francisco's Lipstick Conspiracy. Lipstick Conspiracy broke out after appearing at a number of Bay Area Pride events in 2004 and being voted Best Girl Band the same year by the Bay Area Guardian.

Conspiracy was featured on the first-ever transgendered stage at San Francisco Pride last year. The band has been dubbed "pioneers in the transgendered rock explosion."
PlanetOut named the Conspiracy as one of their Featured Artists in 2004.

The band was named by the Stonewall Society as Transgendered Favorite Musician 2005 at the Society's Pride in the Arts Awards last spring. The Conspiracy is currently recording their latest album, "A Perfect Alibi." See http://www.LipstickConspiracy.com

Also headlining the festival will be a Hot Bods contest. All comers are welcome to compete. Prizes of $100 will be awarded to Mr. (Gay/bisexual males and F2M), Ms. (lesbian/bisexual women) and Miss (transgendered females and drag queens). Audience applause will determine the winners.

The parade is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Parade participants will assemble at Palm and Olive Avenues.
The festival will kick off immediately after the conclusion of the parade. A full day of Pride will end with a 4 and 8 o'clock film screenings by Reel Pride at the Tower Theatre.
