A Sidewalk Tribute

Located in San Francisco’s world-famous Castro neighborhood, the Rainbow Honor Walk features bronze sidewalk plaques that honor Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer individuals who have made a significant difference to society in California, the United States and countries around the world.

Now spanning several blocks, the Rainbow Honor Walk landmarks is educational and inspirational for all who walk with some of the greatest and bravest pioneers in modern history.

The criteria for all nominations to be honored with a RHW sidewalk plaque are as follows: self-expressed LGBTQ individuals, now deceased, who made significant contributions in their fields. Criteria for additional names to be added to the Walk over the years may change subject to the wishes of the community working in concert with the Rainbow Honor Walk Board of Directors.
