The 2020 theme is, “Celebrating 50 Years of Gay Pride.” Recognizing 18 unique people, places, and protests from pre-Stonewall through modern day in a series of black and white drawings, the project aims to re-center the narrative of our annual June Pride celebrations away from rainbow capitalism to its original principles of resistance, rebellion, and radical self-expression.&nbsp; Win is a San Francisco-based designer &amp; illustrator, streetcar enthusiast, amateur birder, and longtime GLBT History Museum volunteer. www.winmixter.com win@winmixter.com Talk given @ the GLBT Historical Society | June 18, 2020 https://prideisaprotest.com/Map Sun, 15 Mar 2020 19:27:38 +0000 Pride is a Protest https://prideisaprotest.com/Map https://prideisaprotest.com/1 Sun, 15 Mar 2020 19:41:17 +0000 Pride is a Protest https://prideisaprotest.com/1 Name: 1965 New Year’s Day Ball Dates: January 1, 1965 Primary Resource: LGBT Religious Archives Network Online Exhibition2020 Poster Location: Market/5th South <img width="2000" height="1431" width_o="2000" height_o="1431" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3a25ad6d6f799e595ba6a19dad2473e0f6291e1ce861ffeb09a41831dcfd8f1b/1965_SideBySide.jpg" data-mid="66608582" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3a25ad6d6f799e595ba6a19dad2473e0f6291e1ce861ffeb09a41831dcfd8f1b/1965_SideBySide.jpg" /> <img width="1510" height="1000" width_o="1510" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4235d6ad7dbd80da61ae6b999f91ef6caf74e202a92815ef9dfe4ff92e1f2faa/1965_CRH_Ball_Combined.jpg" data-mid="66394358" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4235d6ad7dbd80da61ae6b999f91ef6caf74e202a92815ef9dfe4ff92e1f2faa/1965_CRH_Ball_Combined.jpg" /> a.k.a. The California Hall Incident a.k.a. The Council on Religion &amp; the Homosexual’s New Year’s Mardi Gras Ball Called “San Francisco’s Stonewall” by the Bay Area Reporter, the 1965 New Year’s Day Ball gathered together San Francisco’s six homophile groups to cosponsor a dance on New Year’s Day 1965 to raise funds for the Council on Religion and the Homosexual (CRH), a group founded to encourage a dialogue between the church and various gay rights organizations in the 1960s. The coalition of six groups was comprised of (in alphabetical order): The Coits,&nbsp;The CRH, Daughters of Bilitis, The Mattachine Society, Society for Individual Rights, and The Tavern Guild of San Francisco.&nbsp; <img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4dccb1e2e7c8e43b95642f88f2b77a04b0aaab231eaf103b74f028c92fc86a2a/1965_NYD_Front_Wide.jpg" data-mid="92283404" border="0" alt="Photo by Bradley Roberge." data-caption="Photo by Bradley Roberge." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4dccb1e2e7c8e43b95642f88f2b77a04b0aaab231eaf103b74f028c92fc86a2a/1965_NYD_Front_Wide.jpg" /> The event was sponsored by ministers from Glide Memorial Church, whose clergy were organizers of the CRH. Private dances were a way for queers in the 1960s to circumvent stifling laws enforced by the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) that prohibited touching and dancing between members of the same sex in San Francisco bars and public spaces. 1,500 tickets were pre-sold to the event, which was held at California Hall in the Tenderloin. Proper permits and liquor licenses were applied for and approved ahead of time. The CRH clergy also met with police beforehand to ensure there would be no harassment. However, when revelers began to arrive on the evening of January 1, 1965 they were met by a substantial contingent of SFPD officers and photographers intended to intimidate and expose attendees, particularly those dressed in drag. Three gay male attorneys and one female secretary were arrested by police on obstruction charges when they challenged continued police entry into the private event. <img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6d9eaf335ad5d2d10b1c315804aae1c78746096a83da768b32c398f4c283bb8c/1965_NYD_Back_Wide.jpg" data-mid="92283402" border="0" alt="Photo by Bradley Roberge." data-caption="Photo by Bradley Roberge." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6d9eaf335ad5d2d10b1c315804aae1c78746096a83da768b32c398f4c283bb8c/1965_NYD_Back_Wide.jpg" /> The attorneys were later represented by the ACLU in court, and the mainstream media picked up the story. The attorneys were all later acquitted when the trial was thrown out by the judge—a monumental victory for queers in San Francisco and around the world. This event was also an early and important show of coalition solidarity from all of SF’s premier homophile organizations—queer men and women, drag queens, straight men and women, members of the church, and more all gathered together to support one another, first to throw the event and later to very publicly contest harassment from the SFPD. This victory was a boiling point that catalyzed the queer rights movement in our city.&nbsp; You can hear a firsthand account of the events of the evening from CRH leader Chuck Lewis here via the Internet Archive.* Images* <img width="471" height="600" width_o="471" height_o="600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/193c14b1d83d1f4dd3c58173d7bb71da2ac49068bf4e5028ed73e508aa7955bc/CRH_8.png" data-mid="65838784" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/471/i/193c14b1d83d1f4dd3c58173d7bb71da2ac49068bf4e5028ed73e508aa7955bc/CRH_8.png" /> <img width="742" height="1002" width_o="742" height_o="1002" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d0507082a05d99c6b06ab7931fd87ec1bdb68a683a56b0b07209c1cecf747327/CRH_12.jpg" data-mid="68472669" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/742/i/d0507082a05d99c6b06ab7931fd87ec1bdb68a683a56b0b07209c1cecf747327/CRH_12.jpg" /> <img width="426" height="600" width_o="426" height_o="600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/98283ac2ad913f6edc9762f30a0dd45e29f1d567f268b13023fb328a805d7e6d/CRH_1.jpg" data-mid="65837629" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/426/i/98283ac2ad913f6edc9762f30a0dd45e29f1d567f268b13023fb328a805d7e6d/CRH_1.jpg" /> <img width="328" height="600" width_o="328" height_o="600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4ffc6f301392299fd9ef230cb778434696d4fb2fd0edc6769b1e59540e0acf62/CRH_7.png" data-mid="65838783" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/328/i/4ffc6f301392299fd9ef230cb778434696d4fb2fd0edc6769b1e59540e0acf62/CRH_7.png" /> <img width="938" height="600" width_o="938" height_o="600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/40c91bb3b5225a0f3e07fd2be8722985aaaa87cda1ef71fcc39807986f0e12ce/CRH_3.jpg" data-mid="65837631" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/938/i/40c91bb3b5225a0f3e07fd2be8722985aaaa87cda1ef71fcc39807986f0e12ce/CRH_3.jpg" /> <img width="785" height="996" width_o="785" height_o="996" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0ad359e5a714d15955131aa4679fcf5a019fb6ae2a1a69cba6e9c2e5f40f85c2/CRH_11.gif" data-mid="68472668" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/785/i/0ad359e5a714d15955131aa4679fcf5a019fb6ae2a1a69cba6e9c2e5f40f85c2/CRH_11.gif" /> <img width="454" height="600" width_o="454" height_o="600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5e35103dd732c093eb3c7f5bc5e45107a51bf440c98c7c510caec9b229f3ae94/CRH_6.jpg" data-mid="65837634" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/454/i/5e35103dd732c093eb3c7f5bc5e45107a51bf440c98c7c510caec9b229f3ae94/CRH_6.jpg" /> <img width="464" height="600" width_o="464" height_o="600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f0665896c9383cb354aace6427d0c4b1299faba3d7715caa298175a99021e052/CRH_2.jpg" data-mid="65837630" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/464/i/f0665896c9383cb354aace6427d0c4b1299faba3d7715caa298175a99021e052/CRH_2.jpg" /> <img width="766" height="702" width_o="766" height_o="702" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ace2bea01daef2374c3ed66c7bf457dc531908f09cff92a0d577b572be64fa41/CRH_9.jpg" data-mid="68473591" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/766/i/ace2bea01daef2374c3ed66c7bf457dc531908f09cff92a0d577b572be64fa41/CRH_9.jpg" /> <img width="472" height="600" width_o="472" height_o="600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/01b5011c389fd239cbb1cb930d5ce7690f7eca2bb2376ac65ac485d6abaad908/CRH_4.jpg" data-mid="65837632" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/472/i/01b5011c389fd239cbb1cb930d5ce7690f7eca2bb2376ac65ac485d6abaad908/CRH_4.jpg" /> *Information and audio files sourced from the LGBT Religious Archives Network online exhibition, cosponsored by the GLBT Historical Society.

It featured a central rally against&nbsp;California Proposition 6, a.k.a. The Briggs Initiative, which aimed to bar gay teachers from the classroom. Proponents of Prop 6. used a fear-based smear campaign that focused on outdated notions of queers as sexual perverts and built on the previous year’s anti-LGBTQIA+ movement building by famed bigot and former Miss America runner-up Anita Bryant. The proposition was defeated 58.4% to 41.6% in the 1978 November election. <img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b846c3cdfd6fcb65759ea1e7764ee2f52fb5f7b50b2f28e659f036724a4b1c30/1978_GFD_Front_Wide.jpg" data-mid="92296106" border="0" alt="Photo by Bradley Roberge." data-caption="Photo by Bradley Roberge." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b846c3cdfd6fcb65759ea1e7764ee2f52fb5f7b50b2f28e659f036724a4b1c30/1978_GFD_Front_Wide.jpg" /> 1978 Gay Freedom Day also featured a newly elected Harvey Milk, California’s first openly gay government official, who rode down Market Street in a convertible wearing a pink triangle arm band and a shirt that read, “I’ll Never Go Back!” It was the debut of the Gay Freedom Day Marching Band and Twirling Corps, the world’s first LGBTQIA+ marching band. You can see a number of photographs from the band through the years on their Facebook page. It featured San Francisco legend José Sarria in a cleopatra get-up he adapted from his Aida stage costume, marching nearby the recently-formed&nbsp;Gay American Indians contigent.&nbsp;It featured a boycott on Coors Brewing, which “put prospective employees through a polygraph test to determine, among other things, if they were homosexual. Not surprisingly, Coors did not have a anti-discrimination policy, and prospective employees discovered to be homosexual were not hired.” Elaine Gay Jarvis took an amazing photograph of one parade reveler dressed in a Coors can to call attention to the boycott.&nbsp; <img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4198f00fd3821223b2af751cd5a5c58f4e6323e248db117960aaafe0081fe877/1978_GFD_Back_Wide.jpg" data-mid="92296128" border="0" alt="Photo by Bradley Roberge." data-caption="Photo by Bradley Roberge." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4198f00fd3821223b2af751cd5a5c58f4e6323e248db117960aaafe0081fe877/1978_GFD_Back_Wide.jpg" /> Paving the way for capitalist expressions in contemporary Pride celebrations, 1978 Gay Freedom Day also featured an early example of a widely documented privately-funded advertising campaign, with the Club San Francisco Baths distributing thousands of branded balloons to parade revelers. They can be seen in many photos from the celebrations.&nbsp; Notably, this iteration of Gay Freedom Day also featured one of the first documented internal conflicts within the gay rights contingent. Despite securing a permit and permission by parade organizers to participate, Society of Janus—an early pioneer in the leather &amp; BDSM sub-community—was met with opposition and harassment from assimilationist queers who felt that in order to be accepted, gays should diminish their self-expression and conform to the expectations of mainstream society.&nbsp; Images* <img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6af528fadcdf01c87f04c005e843f449a0db168f6423bc48ea2cb14d7e181760/HarveyMilk1978_SFChronicle.jpg" data-mid="67292658" border="0" alt="A newly-elected Harvey Milk rides down Market Street as part of the parade." data-caption="A newly-elected Harvey Milk rides down Market Street as part of the parade." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6af528fadcdf01c87f04c005e843f449a0db168f6423bc48ea2cb14d7e181760/HarveyMilk1978_SFChronicle.jpg" /> <img width="3001" height="1984" width_o="3001" height_o="1984" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bc19dd6184baca708f2ef443e81e421d3f3f8fd380ba8fa175385a8deeaefc59/1978Pride_UNPlaza.jpg" data-mid="67292656" border="0" alt="The crowd at Civic Center/ UN Plaza.

It was a hard line drawn in the sand for AIDS activists outraged by the government’s inaction in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic that was ravaging San Francisco’s queer community.By 1990 there were more than 8.7 million people living with HIV worldwide; it was also the first year on record with more than 2 million officially-recorded new cases. The incidence of new cases wouldn’t drop below 2 million a year until 2017. You can view of a timeline of the AIDS epidemic from UCSF here. <img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/22e68915ea3e3815d22ab9eb6a050298bd43fa1ee4a3bb601f4f57d4e99d272c/1990_ACTUP_Front_Wide.jpg" data-mid="92296275" border="0" alt="Photo by Bradley Roberge." data-caption="Photo by Bradley Roberge." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/22e68915ea3e3815d22ab9eb6a050298bd43fa1ee4a3bb601f4f57d4e99d272c/1990_ACTUP_Front_Wide.jpg" /> Quoting historian, activist, and local news reporter Marke Bieschke, the intentions of the weeklong action were “to bring attention to things the conference wasn’t sufficiently addressing, like the infection rate and treatment of women, people of color, and intravenous drug users, and to protest draconian laws against needle exchanges and a new law forbidding HIV-positive people from entering the country.”&nbsp;Women took center stage at the protests, demanding more research to be done on female-to-female transmission and to decriminalize sex work, which was bearing the brunt of the blame outside of homosexual activity for the spread of HIV. Some of their chants (as seen at the GLBT History Museum) are pictured below. <img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/080da133788dbbfca60440373a956ed1c76f96cbf730e9241e935f385ef23d28/1990_ACTUP_Back_Wide.jpg" data-mid="92296293" border="0" alt="Photo by Bradley Roberge." data-caption="Photo by Bradley Roberge." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/080da133788dbbfca60440373a956ed1c76f96cbf730e9241e935f385ef23d28/1990_ACTUP_Back_Wide.jpg" /> Slogans from protest banners shown at the parade (see images by Dan Nicoletta below) are eerily prescient in today’s world; ‘Pills Cost Pennies’ could refer to pharma giant Gilead’s modern-day price gouging of PrEP, or Pre-exposure prophylaxis which prevents the transmission of HIV. The drug costs about $6 per prescription to produce but can cost as much as $2,000 per month without health insurance.&nbsp; Original coverage of the protests can be viewed via SF’s local CBS Channel 5: Images* <img width="700" height="451" width_o="700" height_o="451" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3e560bdf967bece6f4d015462070e81ef9ae78bcd98a44bda7b8daf3ec44f2c7/48actupdanny5.jpg" data-mid="67137616" border="0" alt="Photo by Dan Nicoletta." data-caption="Photo by Dan Nicoletta." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/700/i/3e560bdf967bece6f4d015462070e81ef9ae78bcd98a44bda7b8daf3ec44f2c7/48actupdanny5.jpg" /> <img width="700" height="467" width_o="700" height_o="467" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9ae882386efb35a5a489af34e666d10b6ccf769a97c11e8db60cdb988a449eb8/48actupdanny3.jpg" data-mid="67137641" border="0" alt="Photo by Dan Nicoletta." data-caption="Photo by Dan Nicoletta." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/700/i/9ae882386efb35a5a489af34e666d10b6ccf769a97c11e8db60cdb988a449eb8/48actupdanny3.jpg" /> <img width="700" height="534" width_o="700" height_o="534" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/37bc7a818123ca3e7abeb911278302ad5e61231e0b90bed58ef6cc66582284fc/48actupdanny2.jpg" data-mid="67137642" border="0" alt="Photo by Dan Nicoletta." data-caption="Photo by Dan Nicoletta." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/700/i/37bc7a818123ca3e7abeb911278302ad5e61231e0b90bed58ef6cc66582284fc/48actupdanny2.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d0ff1e673ad5ab95c3eab1154a95d3620ec418870a66fdcd34099eb52eeabdd2/IMG_9421.JPG" data-mid="67137612" border="0" alt="ACT UP exhibit at the GLBT History Museum." data-caption="ACT UP exhibit at the GLBT History Museum." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d0ff1e673ad5ab95c3eab1154a95d3620ec418870a66fdcd34099eb52eeabdd2/IMG_9421.JPG" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a4c6096a7374a0e31cbbe1f5d61dbe75e8b9d879a8975c218bdd5a72507c9248/IMG_7758.JPG" data-mid="67137613" border="0" alt="ACT UP exhibit at the GLBT History Museum." data-caption="ACT UP exhibit at the GLBT History Museum." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a4c6096a7374a0e31cbbe1f5d61dbe75e8b9d879a8975c218bdd5a72507c9248/IMG_7758.JPG" /> <img width="700" height="483" width_o="700" height_o="483" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5e14d986a3a526588c3ef01a09974bd4c67d5d62ceb58f3d2038b6a91c8cd887/48actupdanny6.jpg" data-mid="68477268" border="0" alt="Photo by Dan Nicoletta." data-caption="Photo by Dan Nicoletta." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/700/i/5e14d986a3a526588c3ef01a09974bd4c67d5d62ceb58f3d2038b6a91c8cd887/48actupdanny6.jpg" /> <img width="899" height="1199" width_o="899" height_o="1199" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a14306382fd2cfebc395bb24da3e870700fc17cc05865a1da95c0d02eefddc38/11406461_10153339777983389_45252889190474528_o.jpg" data-mid="68477270" border="0" alt="From the ACT UP Reunion FB page." data-caption="From the ACT UP Reunion FB page." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/899/i/a14306382fd2cfebc395bb24da3e870700fc17cc05865a1da95c0d02eefddc38/11406461_10153339777983389_45252889190474528_o.jpg" /> <img width="700" height="459" width_o="700" height_o="459" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a5cd4e5cadc0622fe876d3b835a5ebfd2eeccca90c36c222187a452fa2026fcf/48actupdanny4.jpg" data-mid="67137640" border="0" alt="Photo by Dan Nicoletta." data-caption="Photo by Dan Nicoletta." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/700/i/a5cd4e5cadc0622fe876d3b835a5ebfd2eeccca90c36c222187a452fa2026fcf/48actupdanny4.jpg" /> <img width="960" height="643" width_o="960" height_o="643" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1d82d57f3408dd7328efad455c0a5598a34594e3f975aca994378ab1cdae2068/48actupdanny7.jpg" data-mid="67137615" border="0" alt="Photo by Dan Nicoletta." data-caption="Photo by Dan Nicoletta." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/960/i/1d82d57f3408dd7328efad455c0a5598a34594e3f975aca994378ab1cdae2068/48actupdanny7.jpg" /> *Photos by Dan Nicoletta.

ALF, A. Francois Fuzée, Alien Fuzzy, and the Chicken) was born on May 16, 1950 in Los Angeles, CA to Lawrence and Beulah Fuzee. After graduating from Our Lady of Loretto High School in 1968, she later moved to San Francisco and lived and worked in the Bay Area throughout her life. One of two openly lesbian African American curators working in the U.S. in the late 20th century, Adrienne was a visionary artist and writer who helped develop and promote the work of artists at the Watts Towers, the Los Angeles Women’s Building, New Langton Arts, the Spectrum Gallery, Zocolo Gallery, the San Francisco GLBT Historical Society, Oakland Art Dot Com, and the San Francisco LGBT Community Center, as well as through her own “Galerie Fuzee.” Her exhibit “San Diego Contemporary Art” was shown in Yokohama, Japan. <img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e27f37425e7e28076a6c89a6c76b0be0859bb5ba37cb40011dd60a0396c3c751/Adrienne_Front_Wide.jpg" data-mid="92296321" border="0" alt="Photo by Bradley Roberge." data-caption="Photo by Bradley Roberge." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e27f37425e7e28076a6c89a6c76b0be0859bb5ba37cb40011dd60a0396c3c751/Adrienne_Front_Wide.jpg" /> Adrienne co-edited a journal of cultural criticism, Unsolicited Commentary, with Garland Kyle, taught at the San Francisco Art Institute, was the co-chair of Lesbians in the Visual Arts, a founding board member of Qcc: The Center for Lesbian Gay Bi Transgender Art &amp; Culture in San Francisco, and a president and board member of the San Francisco Art Commission Gallery Advisory Board. Multi-talented and with many interests, Adrienne played guitar, wrote songs and poetry, and briefly ran a catering company “Salads and Salads,” demonstrating cooking skills that prompted Lily Tomlin to give her a personally drawn complimentary cartoon. She had an eye for the beautiful and profound in art and in people and was a lifelong seeker of spiritual truth. She had a wonderful sense of humor.&nbsp; <img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e2448455b69b7e1cd5f882ffaac2600ba008861d2e3d31403a788d5ef7af1efe/Adrienne_Back_Wide.jpg" data-mid="92296324" border="0" alt="Photo by Bradley Roberge." data-caption="Photo by Bradley Roberge." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e2448455b69b7e1cd5f882ffaac2600ba008861d2e3d31403a788d5ef7af1efe/Adrienne_Back_Wide.jpg" /> Adrienne died early in the morning when her heart stopped on Sunday, May 18, 2003 at Summit Hospital in Oakland, CA after a lengthy struggle with diabetes.

She is survived by her longtime partner Linda Boyd and her son Rhys. She won a writing contest sponsored by Pepsi when she was in 9th grade that inspired a lifetime of art and activism; the theme was&nbsp;“You’ve Got a lot to Live.” The prize included a trip to Washington D.C. and a cash award of $1,000.&nbsp; <img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/21ce4e969ada622919e02ce6f64a7cec2fda48e048ed587b0cbac7ec91fc9195/Barbara_Front_Wide.jpg" data-mid="92296350" border="0" alt="Photo by Bradley Roberge." data-caption="Photo by Bradley Roberge." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/21ce4e969ada622919e02ce6f64a7cec2fda48e048ed587b0cbac7ec91fc9195/Barbara_Front_Wide.jpg" /> She moved to Santa Fe after graduating in her junior year to attend The Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, majoring in photography and film. She came out as a lesbian while a student there.&nbsp; She moved to San Francisco in 1973 to attend the SF Art Institute, though she dropped out before finishing her degree. With Randy Burns, she cofounded Gay American Indians (GAI) in 1975, “...in order to share experiences, provide support for one another, and to help make visible third world leadership in the lesbian/ gay community.” It is the world’s first Native American LGBTQIA+ group; they were visible marchers at early Gay Freedom Day&nbsp;celebrations. In 1989 she served as President &amp; Co-Chair of the Alice B. Toklas LGBT Democratic Club, the first registered LGBT Democratic Club in the nation. She believed the club was able to make a positive impact on local city politics. She was an early Executive Director of the community watchdog organization&nbsp;Community United Against Violence (CUAV), established in response to a wave of early 90s anti-LGBTQ+ hate crimes in the city of San Francisco. It was not her most successful venture, though; she left the group after a public spat with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence over a bid for sponsorship of the annual Castro Halloween Celebration and a public call for her resignation.She served as a delegate for the Rainbow Coalition of Jesse Jackson’s presidential candidacy at the 1988 Democratic National Convention. See below for an incredible photo of the two of them embracing before one of his campaign speeches, taken by legendary local photographer Rink.&nbsp; <img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cef3e0c04d18e4e23c8f613b6ce2159ea05fbb9971d3364c6d3f196c38cb1b60/Barbara_Back_Wide.jpg" data-mid="92296362" border="0" alt="Photo by Bradley Roberge." data-caption="Photo by Bradley Roberge." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cef3e0c04d18e4e23c8f613b6ce2159ea05fbb9971d3364c6d3f196c38cb1b60/Barbara_Back_Wide.jpg" /> She was an intersectional activist in the truest sense; she advocated for Native Americans and for lesbians, but also for the broader LGBTQIA+ community, for AIDS causes, and for other queers of color. She even traveled to Nicaragua with Somos Hermanas to protest post-revolutionary Sandinista policies that suppressed women’s rights. She was a member of the planning committee at the 1980 Gay Freedom Day. Deeply unhappy with the representation of speakers on the main stage at Civic Center, she staged a heroic and emotional protest by storming the mainstage and delivering one of the most evocative speeches in SF Pride history. The sentiment of her speech, which calls for greater solidarity within the LGBTQIA+ community, rings true to this day. You can listen along with this audio recording of her speech, which was originally aired by The Gay Life Radio Show.&nbsp; Cameron’s speech is from 28:20 to 33:40 “We should celebrate the richness and diversity of our gay culture which should be blatantly displayed up here by having speakers who represent those precious diversities. We should celebrate the fact that gayness crosses all racial borders, and that Third World gays while working for their peoples’ liberation work for gay freedom even though we experience racist and sometime hostile attitudes from the white gay community. We should celebrate our gay artists, the musicians, poets, writers, photographers, painters, and dancers who bring us our aesthetic dreams. Gay people are a many splendored community, but we must be more sensitively evolved and stronger as a community&nbsp;...Our diversity is our strength and our strength is the path to our freedom.” Images* <img width="690" height="689" width_o="690" height_o="689" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0a35ee5897b466488a5ae24cb0ec6ec91e7b5c91d39c23c3c515b5ec1d5d2f7b/61922869_2274471096202659_6493691368425127936_n.jpg" data-mid="67302437" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/690/i/0a35ee5897b466488a5ae24cb0ec6ec91e7b5c91d39c23c3c515b5ec1d5d2f7b/61922869_2274471096202659_6493691368425127936_n.jpg" /> <img width="1810" height="2000" width_o="1810" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fc4f33801146a4d2748694e7ccd06692cd299f4a3a3f62a82d6a6a8c1a0f5cfb/IMG_5143.jpg" data-mid="67491265" border="0" alt="San Francisco History Center, San Francisco Public Library." data-caption="San Francisco History Center, San Francisco Public Library." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fc4f33801146a4d2748694e7ccd06692cd299f4a3a3f62a82d6a6a8c1a0f5cfb/IMG_5143.jpg" /> <img width="301" height="474" width_o="301" height_o="474" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/edaff0dc2ed9e795c88bd045d842159eb98f8102e6a5a0efe98137cfef42d2b8/ThisBridgeCalledMyBack.jpg" data-mid="67302438" border="0" alt="Barbara's essay, &ldquo;Gee You Don&rsquo;t Seem Like An Indian from the Reservation,&quot; was included in this compendium of writings by women of Color, first published in 1981." data-caption="Barbara's essay, “Gee You Don’t Seem Like An Indian from the Reservation,&quot; was included in this compendium of writings by women of Color, first published in 1981." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/301/i/edaff0dc2ed9e795c88bd045d842159eb98f8102e6a5a0efe98137cfef42d2b8/ThisBridgeCalledMyBack.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1612" width_o="2000" height_o="1612" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ae872db428f91a30124b418b28bf93beab3b652cbdfc6ee7118acacdf8ad93ee/IMG_1749.jpg" data-mid="67491438" border="0" alt="San Francisco History Center, San Francisco Public Library." data-caption="San Francisco History Center, San Francisco Public Library." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ae872db428f91a30124b418b28bf93beab3b652cbdfc6ee7118acacdf8ad93ee/IMG_1749.jpg" /> <img width="3348" height="2668" width_o="3348" height_o="2668" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/99c20e9c59789c601a41f485ab5c063d0df91c3dedc7b41a123aac5768782de4/IMG_8154.jpg" data-mid="67492863" border="0" alt="Barbara and Jesse Jackson.

CSC The Center for Sex &amp; Culture (CSC) was the brainchild of Dr. Carol Queen and Dr. Robert Lawrence, envisioned as a place: “To provide non-judgmental, sex-positive sexuality education and support to diverse populations by means of classes, workshops, social gatherings, and hands-on, practical skills-building events; to maintain and house these events and supporting materials and functions; to maintain a publicly-accessible library and archives; to staff and support this learning environment.” Located at 1349 Mission Street between 2001 and 2019, CSC housed a vast library of books, zines, and other physical resources about sex and the various subcultures that formed around different preferences. CSC also hosted a variety of programs and workshops—from mild to wild—including an art exhibition program managed by gallery director Dorian Katz.&nbsp; <img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6eced9a59128f50ab8a76bc248cd07b7325cc0dc5c249b9c3f6256d4366955fc/CSC_Front_Wide.jpg" data-mid="92296396" border="0" alt="Photo by Bradley Roberge." data-caption="Photo by Bradley Roberge." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6eced9a59128f50ab8a76bc248cd07b7325cc0dc5c249b9c3f6256d4366955fc/CSC_Front_Wide.jpg" /> CSC’s services focused on providing inclusive resources for underrepresented communities. They created a center of gravity for the trans and gender non-conforming communities. They became known as a reliable resource center within the queer and kink communities. CSC was also (and still is) Scarleteen's fiscal sponsor, providing inclusive sex-ed resources for teens. According to Dr. Queen, “CSC is super-proud to support them. The great &amp; powerful Heather Corinna started the organization—we have known them for many years and they had Scarleteen rolling before CSC became involved.” The center closed after their landlord raised their monthly rent to more than $10,000 a month, an obviously unsustainable sum for a federally-recognized non-profit. Par for the course in today’s San Francisco. <img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4d2db3e2cdd73a57e56990d15f49339ba2676f8769110e3688fe317dffcb523a/CSC_Back_Wide.jpg" data-mid="92296399" border="0" alt="Photo by Bradley Roberge." data-caption="Photo by Bradley Roberge." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4d2db3e2cdd73a57e56990d15f49339ba2676f8769110e3688fe317dffcb523a/CSC_Back_Wide.jpg" /> As for their collection, “Harvard University bought the majority of their archives and books. Other works will live on at Cornell University, the One Archives Foundation in Los Angeles, and the Carter Johnson Leather Library in Indiana, where Katerina will be moving across the country to work from. The only pieces of the archive that will stay in San Francisco will be at the GLBT Historical Society and the San Francisco Public Library's Hormel LGBTQIA center.” (SFGate) You can watch a short documentary about the CSC Library and Archives below, produced and edited by Finley Coyl: Images* <img width="1500" height="1004" width_o="1500" height_o="1004" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bf709bd405522b6a6322d338d88ef7fa9fbed683c1e8623b61bd94761cd87c5d/CSC_Exterior.jpg" data-mid="67641519" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bf709bd405522b6a6322d338d88ef7fa9fbed683c1e8623b61bd94761cd87c5d/CSC_Exterior.jpg" /> <img width="214" height="300" width_o="214" height_o="300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d986a770485cdc2521d982fa1b1819c391f3ccf4b9ec7e68e752e0d409fedb53/Logo_Early.gif" data-mid="67641523" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/214/i/d986a770485cdc2521d982fa1b1819c391f3ccf4b9ec7e68e752e0d409fedb53/Logo_Early.gif" /> <img width="250" height="352" width_o="250" height_o="352" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6a3ec6d1bd715ca39de446ccb5f85ddff829ae2437caa0927aba99bf33666acc/SkinTwoZine.jpg" data-mid="67641525" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/250/i/6a3ec6d1bd715ca39de446ccb5f85ddff829ae2437caa0927aba99bf33666acc/SkinTwoZine.jpg" /> <img width="690" height="920" width_o="690" height_o="920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/27f61cac6eb1ec613e12eb54e96fa82a6530c041937d25996a1e7ef4ffedd265/Dorian.jpg" data-mid="67641521" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/690/i/27f61cac6eb1ec613e12eb54e96fa82a6530c041937d25996a1e7ef4ffedd265/Dorian.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1324" width_o="2048" height_o="1324" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ab45ddbccf98bb51f1f787d995604a1e250c739e84dce92e8f09d9bdc7336406/DyMBROjVYAECfVk.jpeg" data-mid="68480014" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ab45ddbccf98bb51f1f787d995604a1e250c739e84dce92e8f09d9bdc7336406/DyMBROjVYAECfVk.jpeg" /> <img width="500" height="647" width_o="500" height_o="647" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3eea810d3894776231cb064022f4015379a8133b29475af4b2f23e88936d8164/FrictionOfPassionPleasure.jpg" data-mid="67641522" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/500/i/3eea810d3894776231cb064022f4015379a8133b29475af4b2f23e88936d8164/FrictionOfPassionPleasure.jpg" /> <img width="500" height="750" width_o="500" height_o="750" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/68909276bc8f193249555115621f9d1ea8945578902f91f4785860009c64b29a/CSC2012.jpg" data-mid="67912266" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/500/i/68909276bc8f193249555115621f9d1ea8945578902f91f4785860009c64b29a/CSC2012.jpg" /> <img width="680" height="533" width_o="680" height_o="533" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f354ba1b9fd57007a0f175f9cfc4a722bff636c196842b3f6dad2c90d0f4c3a2/NationalCondomWeek.jpg" data-mid="67641524" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/680/i/f354ba1b9fd57007a0f175f9cfc4a722bff636c196842b3f6dad2c90d0f4c3a2/NationalCondomWeek.jpg" /> <img width="1024" height="698" width_o="1024" height_o="698" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3b590307346a53b373d9c049818612385f3e14f5d13e18571a4b5d6cfca53aa5/NudeArt.jpg" data-mid="67912267" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3b590307346a53b373d9c049818612385f3e14f5d13e18571a4b5d6cfca53aa5/NudeArt.jpg" /> <img width="648" height="486" width_o="648" height_o="486" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8330a4952a71ee0494f3d496909d9755e23e25adc79327b8c1201d6c4d523d70/08031218.jpg" data-mid="68480135" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/648/i/8330a4952a71ee0494f3d496909d9755e23e25adc79327b8c1201d6c4d523d70/08031218.jpg" /> *All images from the CSC Blog on Tumblr.&nbsp; Additional Resources 1) CSC Homepage—archived main site for the organization; be sure to check out the blog for more photos and event descriptions. 2) CSC on SFMOMA Open Space—An interview with Carol Queen, Miss Ian, and Dorian Katz about why the Center existed and the relationship between sex and culture.3)&nbsp;SF kink community grieves loss of Center for Sex and Culture—SFGate, 1/29/2019.

He has devoted much of his life to it.He has lived in the Bay Area since 1989 and graduated from UC Berkeley. He was one of the very first Deaf people to openly transition in the country back in 1999, a different world for that kind of bold self-affirming change. <img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e6e3c0edddcaf60236ae00567420186d3b7842d4c319babf9b6a50211987e85f/Drago_Front_Wide.jpg" data-mid="92296498" border="0" alt="Photo by Bradley Roberge." data-caption="Photo by Bradley Roberge." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e6e3c0edddcaf60236ae00567420186d3b7842d4c319babf9b6a50211987e85f/Drago_Front_Wide.jpg" /> He resides in the Mission and is heavily involved with the Latinx community there. He has participated in innumerable anti-gentrification, anti-police brutality, and housing rights protests. Drago has been involved with many different groups over the years, including the Transgender Law Center, the Youth Gender Project, and FTM International. He has presented and educated on trans issues nationwide for over two decades, the majority of those years with his amazing partner, Jennifer Mantle. He published a magazine for Deaf Queers from his Castro apartment back in the 90s called CTN Magazine. It was the first national magazine for the Deaf queer community. Drago ran the Deaf Gay &amp; Lesbian Center in SF from 1992–1995, though it no longer exists today. It was the first of its kind in the country. Their first office was in the Tenderloin. Drago founded the Deaf Queer Resource Center in 1995, which he still runs today. He has also run a small Internet company called DeafVision since 1997, which came about when he was teaching himself HTML to build the Deaf Queer Resource Center’s website. <img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b4511a1680c899dcbac918a0176ecc9b67e715b7a6569e5f34b53a84bb33ca43/Drago_Back_Wide.jpg" data-mid="92296511" border="0" alt="Photo by Bradley Roberge." data-caption="Photo by Bradley Roberge." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b4511a1680c899dcbac918a0176ecc9b67e715b7a6569e5f34b53a84bb33ca43/Drago_Back_Wide.jpg" /> DeafVision also helped many LGBTQ and especially Deaf LGBTQ organizations get online when the Internet was starting to take off—most of their clients are still LGBTQ or Deaf organizations. Drago also created many of the first Deaf-related websites in those early .com days,&nbsp; such as websites for Deaf Women, Deaf Leather, and Deaf Latinx communities.&nbsp; Drago has run the National Deaf LGBTQ Archives since 1994 out of his home. He was involved with Queer Nation back in the 90s (at least as much as he could be without ASL access); lack of ASL access is a major and ongoing issue for Deaf folks. He began a list of names of Deaf people lost to AIDS/HIV-related complications in 1989, and continues to update it once a year on World AIDS Day—you can access it at&nbsp;https://deafaids.info. Drago is a photojournalist and documentary photographer, with certificates from CCSF in Reportage Photography and Portrait Studio Lighting. He has photographed for El Tecolote—a Mission-based bilingual publication—for a number of years, documenting the rapid changes happening in the Mission. Eventually he hopes to publish a book about how gentrification impacts communities of color. Drago’s sidekick is Magnus, a 12-year-old Schnoodle hearing dog. He knows over 1,000 ASL signs and the names of over 500 toys in sign and voice. Together they occasionally do shows for kids.
