Alas, we have no year-round Big Gay Ice Cream Truck [1] like they do in the Big Apple. But, as SFist alerted us [2] today (via Haighteration [3]), our own beloved zany-zygote Three Twins Creamery [4] has gone all light in its scoopers for Pride weekend, Fri-Sun offering such lavender lickers as "Rainbow/Gay Sherbet, Pink Triangle ('a fruity chocolate base with pink chocolate triangles'), Pride Vanilla, Hot Cookie ('with cookies from the Castro’s favorite cookie shop'), Don’t Ask Don’t Tell ('vanilla ice cream with blueberry dessert from military rations mixed in'), Rice Milk Harvey Milk and Cookies, and Salted Nuts." Plus, well, lavender.
Sounds delish. And we have some more ideas.
As SFist editor Brock Keeling suggests, why not "Juanita More [5] Dulce de Leche Please? Sondheim 'God That's Good' Swirl? Bambi Lake [6]'s Butterscotch Stain?" Here's our own list of confection suggestions named for notable local homos, beyond Ms. Milk:
