. >> hello, my name is mike latrelic and i am a person with aids and a gay man and a long-time activist and the reason that i am here has to do with entertainment at the annual sf-pride event in june. i am very concerned as are many of my friends that our hearing is damaged because the music is way too loud at the sunday celebration from the main stage in civic like the music or prevents us from talking and hearing each other and from building the community and if you are not into and i don't know what style this is called where the bass is just pounding away, whoever is in charge of the music and entertainment is saying this isn't for you, we are only going after one demographic that comes to pride and that is really unfair. >> this year after avoiding pride on saturday and sunday, i went on saturday and i was near the library and i really wanted to participate and in the events this year, and of course, with it being pride, you quickly run with your friends and you make new friends, and i am in front of the library, and i can't hear the person who is next to me, what they are saying b
