Trans March Confrontation In Dolores Park Wiener said the first incident occurred during the Trans March at Dolores Park, where he has attended for more than 20 years in solidarity with the transgender community.
"As I walked through Dolores Park…a group of people began screaming at me, ran up to me, surrounded me, and began harassing me, both verbally and physically, including physical contact," Wiener wrote.
He said protesters also made remarks about his "Israeli handlers" and other comments he described as "inaccurate, extreme, and vile." "They were so physically and verbally aggressive that it was impossible for me to safely remain in the park.
