Score one for the gays

Antonucci told The San Jose Mercury News that the name Gold Pride symbolizes the Bay Area, “including the connections to the gay and lesbian community.”
Members of the lesbian community have been longtime supporters of professional women’s sports and will no doubt continue to be when WPS begins play in April of 2009. With the strong gay and lesbian community that exists in the Bay Area it is safe to assume that the name chosen for their team is a direct relation to LGBT soccer fans throughout the area.
