These are quilt blocks specifically made for John Adams (aka "Quilt Dad"). It is from a great pattern by Jennifer Ofenstein (sewhooked.com), and was my first attempt at paper piecing.
They've deliberately phrased it so vaguely that no one could possibly object, but on the weekend of SF Gay Pride, the message on this bus can only mean one thing. With support this widespread, San Francisco needs a Gay Pride Parade like a fish needs swimming lessons.
In case you're worried about getting lost in the town, I should add that they flash up this message every few seconds, alternating with the number and destination, so you can still tell which bus is which.

On Wednesday September 30th, On hundreds of supporters gathered at the True Reformer building at 12th and U Streets NW to cheer the introduction of pending legislation for achieving civil marriage equality in the District of Columbia.
The event led off with an impassioned speech by a guest of the City, Rev. Eric P. Lee, president of the Los Angeles chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Lee outlined 5 basic tenets for the marriage equality movement to follow: "education, for the purpose of organization, for the purpose of mobilization, for the purpose of agitation, for the purpose of transformation... in societal attitudes" toward LGBT citizens and same-sex relationships. In rebuttal to marriage opponents who seek to fracture DC along racial and religious lines, Lee invoked the powerful words of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr: "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." Lee offered the perfect segue for pending marriage equality legislation with a rousing declaration that "the burden of discrimination is on those who are discriminating... Make the oppressor defend their discrimination! Make them look you in the eye. Make them engage you with respect."
