Moes gettin' hoes

The SF-based NPR station KQED is running a series by The Kitchen Sisters called “The Making of…” about, well, pretty much anything you’d care to make—from a pot of tea to something that is uniquely SF: Homobiles.

Homobiles is a donation-based dispatch-only transport service for the LGBT community. If you’re in that demographic, your chances of getting a ride from a taxi at club-closing time are low. Homobiles fills that gap.

It’s an interesting story, and I love the way the Kitchen Sisters let the participants tell it. The audio runs more than seven minutes, but it’s worth it.

I especially like the one rider who understands why regular taxi drivers might not want customers who leave behind body paint, glitter and sequins. “You can’t get that stuff out.”

Really—God bless SF.
