<strong>2016</strong> Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, <strong>and</strong> Transgender Heritage Month<br />

ERIC GARCETTI<br />

CITY OF LOS ANGELES MAYOR<br />

Dear Friends,<br />

It is my pleasure to lead Los Angeles in celebrating Lesbian,<br />

Gay, Bisexual, <strong>and</strong> Transgender (<strong>LGBT</strong>) Heritage Month.<br />

The contributions of our <strong>LGBT</strong> residents in the arts, academia,<br />

business, government, <strong>and</strong> the nonprofit sectors are immense<br />

<strong>and</strong> deserving of year-round recognition.<br />

I encourage Angelenos to experience our city’s rich <strong>LGBT</strong> legacy.<br />

This <strong>Calendar</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Cultural</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> created by our Department of<br />

<strong>Cultural</strong> Affairs highlights the many activities happening all over<br />

L.A. in celebration of <strong>LGBT</strong> Heritage Month.<br />

I hope you also enjoy the work of Los Angeles’ emerging <strong>and</strong><br />

established <strong>LGBT</strong> artists showcased throughout this publication.<br />

L.A. is the creative crossroads of the world, <strong>and</strong> the works of<br />

these artists enhance our city as a global destination for art,<br />

culture, <strong>and</strong> creativity.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

ERIC GARCETTI<br />

Mayor<br />

City of Los Angeles<br />

<strong>2016</strong> Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, <strong>and</strong> Transgender Heritage Month<br />

RON GALPERIN<br />

LOS ANGELES CITY CONTROLLER<br />

Dear Friends,<br />

It gives me great pride to celebrate Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, <strong>and</strong><br />

Transgender (<strong>LGBT</strong>) Heritage Month with you. Los Angeles<br />

has one of the most diverse, exciting <strong>LGBT</strong> communities in the<br />

country. As a proud Angeleno <strong>and</strong> a proud member of the <strong>LGBT</strong><br />

community, I feel lucky to live here.<br />

Of course, anyone familiar with the history of the <strong>LGBT</strong><br />

movement in Los Angeles knows what a long journey it’s been<br />

to get where we are today. From the founding of the city’s<br />

first gay organization, the Mattachine Society, in the 1950s,<br />

to the uprising at Cooper’s Donuts in 1959 (10 years before<br />

the Stonewall Riots), to Angelenos battling AIDS in the 1980s<br />

<strong>and</strong> fighting for marriage equality today, the stories of <strong>LA</strong>’s<br />

<strong>LGBT</strong> movement <strong>and</strong> the men <strong>and</strong> women who led it resonate<br />

throughout the nation. This month, we all take the opportunity<br />

to celebrate the legacies of those who broke through the<br />

barriers to make <strong>LA</strong> a more tolerant <strong>and</strong> vibrant place to<br />

live <strong>and</strong> work.<br />

With this calendar <strong>and</strong> cultural guide, the City’s Department of<br />

<strong>Cultural</strong> Affairs (<strong>DCA</strong>) is highlighting the work of <strong>LGBT</strong> artists,<br />

promoting cultural events, <strong>and</strong> showcasing the incredible diversity<br />

of experiences that Los Angeles has to offer.<br />

During the month of June, I invite you to participate, engage, <strong>and</strong><br />

enjoy. Learn about <strong>LGBT</strong> history, admire art <strong>and</strong> culture, <strong>and</strong>, most<br />

of all, celebrate the great City in which we live!<br />

RON GALPERIN<br />

Los Angeles City Controller<br />

<strong>2016</strong> Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, <strong>and</strong> Transgender Heritage Month<br />

HERB J. WESSON, JR.<br />

LOS ANGELES CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT<br />

Dear Friends,<br />

On behalf of the Los Angeles City Council, it is my privilege to<br />

invite you to celebrate Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, <strong>and</strong> Transgender<br />

Heritage Month in our great City! People from around the world<br />

have made Los Angeles their home, <strong>and</strong> each culture contributes<br />

to the rich diversity that makes it among the foremost cities<br />

in the world.<br />

This month we continue to honor the achievements of our City’s<br />

<strong>LGBT</strong> community, <strong>and</strong> acknowledge their contributions to <strong>LA</strong>.<br />

With this calendar, our Department of <strong>Cultural</strong> Affairs (<strong>DCA</strong>)<br />

highlights the work of our <strong>LGBT</strong> artists who keep our shared<br />

traditions alive <strong>and</strong> thriving in our communities. <strong>DCA</strong> offers a<br />

wide array of arts <strong>and</strong> cultural events for your enjoyment.<br />

Please refer to this calendar to find the numerous festivals,<br />

musical events, theatrical performances, films, poetry readings,<br />

<strong>and</strong> cultural activities in your neighborhood.<br />

I encourage you to take part in the special events listed<br />

throughout these pages, <strong>and</strong> welcome you into our<br />

neighborhoods to celebrate Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, <strong>and</strong><br />

Transgender Heritage Month in the City of Angels.<br />

It is sure to be a memorable celebration!<br />

Sincerely,<br />

<strong>2016</strong> Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, <strong>and</strong> Transgender Heritage Month<br />

MIKE BONIN<br />

LOS ANGELES CITY COUNCILMEMBER<br />

Dear Friends,<br />

It is with great honor that I write to again recognize the month of<br />

June as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, <strong>and</strong> Transgender (<strong>LGBT</strong>) Heritage<br />

Month. We have seen tremendous gains in <strong>LGBT</strong> rights in recent<br />

history. Today, <strong>LGBT</strong> Americans are free to marry the person they<br />

love, free to serve openly for their country, <strong>and</strong> freer to be their<br />

true, authentic self.<br />

Despite historic gains <strong>and</strong> victories for the <strong>LGBT</strong> community, we<br />

still have far to go. Transgender people still face discrimination far<br />

too frequently in our school systems, in the workplace, <strong>and</strong> within<br />

our healthcare system.<br />

This year, the City of Los Angeles became the nation’s largest city<br />

to establish a permanent council of transgender community leaders<br />

to advise the City on how to best serve the needs of transgender Angelenos. Working<br />

under the Human Relations Commission, the Transgender Advisory Council will advise the<br />

Office of the Mayor, the Los Angeles City Council, City departments, <strong>and</strong> other elected<br />

officials on projects <strong>and</strong> policies that address critical issues facing the trans community —<br />

such as economic development, public safety, accessibility, <strong>and</strong> public awareness.<br />

As the presenting councilman for this year’s <strong>LGBT</strong> Heritage Month, it is my distinct honor<br />

to highlight the “T” in the <strong>LGBT</strong> community. The individuals being honored at our Council<br />

celebration are just some of the many transgender heroes who fight for <strong>LGBT</strong> equality in<br />

Los Angeles.<br />

This month though, is not only for the honorees, it is for every ally, partner, <strong>and</strong> activist<br />

who continues to push our city closer towards a true, honest, <strong>and</strong> complete equality.<br />

Thank you.<br />

We are all in your debt <strong>and</strong> celebrate you today.<br />

With pride,<br />

MIKE BONIN<br />

Councilmember, Eleventh District<br />

<strong>2016</strong> Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, <strong>and</strong> Transgender Heritage Month<br />

MITCH O’FARRELL<br />

LOS ANGELES CITY COUNCILMEMBER<br />

Friends,<br />

On behalf of my constituents in the great 13th Council District,<br />

I welcome you to the sixth annual Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, <strong>and</strong><br />

Transgender (<strong>LGBT</strong>) Heritage Month kick-off event at Los Angeles<br />

City Hall.<br />

During previous celebrations I shared the significance of<br />

commemorating Pride Month in the City of Los Angeles by<br />

remembering our rich <strong>LGBT</strong> history <strong>and</strong> two historic events<br />

that took place in the communities I represent. As you know,<br />

the gay rights movement was born at the Black Cat Tavern in<br />

Silver Lake (two years before New York’s Stonewall Inn), <strong>and</strong><br />

the first Gay Pride Parade took place in Hollywood along the<br />

Walk of Fame.<br />

Now, decades later, we continue to witness how the civil rights movements has changed the way policymakers<br />

think about moving our society forward for everyone. Equal rights mean we denounce hate, embrace<br />

inclusiveness, <strong>and</strong> we extend a h<strong>and</strong> to the most marginalized in our society. If someone among us does<br />

not have full civil rights, then in a sense, none of us do. As a member of the Los Angeles City Council, I am<br />

proud to be a voice for our <strong>LGBT</strong> community <strong>and</strong> I will continue to act on your behalf to protect our rights.<br />

This month, I will join Councilmember Mike Bonin, City Controller Ron Galperin, as well as the entire<br />

Los Angeles City Council to honor leaders <strong>and</strong> legends in the <strong>LGBT</strong> community. We will shine the spotlight<br />

on courage, diversity, pride, <strong>and</strong> progress in our <strong>LGBT</strong> community.<br />

In addition to the City Council presentation, I am also teaming up with ONE Archives to host a special<br />

exhibition in the Bridge Gallery at City Hall. This first-ever exhibit contains a collection of front page headlines<br />

from major newspapers across the country following each state court ruling in favor of the Freedom to Marry<br />

for <strong>LGBT</strong> individuals. The Bridge Gallery exhibit is free <strong>and</strong> open to the public through the end of June.<br />

Wherever you plan to celebrate our Pride, keep in mind where we’ve been <strong>and</strong> where we still need to go.<br />

Warm regards,<br />

MITCH O’FARRELL<br />

Councilmember, Thirteenth District<br />

GENERAL MANAGER<br />

CITY OF LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS<br />

Dear Friends,<br />

The Department of <strong>Cultural</strong> Affairs is pleased to present this<br />

calendar of events celebrating the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, <strong>and</strong><br />

Transgender (<strong>LGBT</strong>) community thriving in our unique City.<br />

In this publication we honor the extraordinary range of <strong>LGBT</strong><br />

experiences <strong>and</strong> cultural traditions transforming our society<br />

As a proud member of the <strong>LGBT</strong> community, I want to express my<br />

appreciation for the work of the members of our <strong>LGBT</strong> Heritage<br />

Month Committee, the Mayor’s Office, <strong>and</strong> our City Council<br />

Offices for their assistance in recognizing the many nonprofit<br />

organizations, community groups, arts organizations, artists, <strong>and</strong><br />

activists whose efforts helped us create this impressive publication<br />

of fun, educational, <strong>and</strong> exciting events.<br />

We are also pleased to showcase a selection of contemporary<br />

art produced by our Los Angeles <strong>LGBT</strong> artists in this publication.<br />

Their vision pays homage to steps taken in the past towards<br />

progress, <strong>and</strong> looks ahead towards a future assuring equality<br />

for all.<br />

What better place to see fantastic art, experience <strong>LGBT</strong><br />

creative culture, <strong>and</strong> celebrate a City’s great gay heritage than<br />

Los Angeles? We hope you will join in the festivities <strong>and</strong> enjoy!<br />

Gay<br />

By Aunt Iya Amethyst Samsara<br />

there it is…<br />

that ton of feathers lightning strike boldness incomparable<br />

lending illumined autonomy to self-designated indigo spring night sky<br />

hurricane force lavender scented breath blows sweet, paradoxically tender<br />

you armor my exposure<br />

like exponentially h<strong>and</strong>ed down, moth eaten 1939, Salvation Army wool overcoat<br />

cover street dweller sins in winter <strong>and</strong> keep warm against critical wind of opinion<br />

truth thrown over puddles keep my path without judgement <strong>and</strong> you are my hero<br />

there it is…<br />

I am many people, with multiple imagination, spanning DNA all designed to<br />

culminate in me<br />

& all that I am, all that you are, all that we see, all that we endeavor, all that we endure.<br />

we are the art of living. unfamiliar. original. genuine. we have no set examples.<br />

no legacy h<strong>and</strong>ed down, no gr<strong>and</strong>father to imitate, no gr<strong>and</strong>mother to imitateangels<br />

show us which way to go, walk us through this, don’t leave us alonewe’re<br />

trying & hoping… but we’re not sure<br />

& yes angels dance around our heads & drop feathers at our feet<br />

set solid brick confidence in front of us, <strong>and</strong> lay out the plans of mice, kings, & prophets<br />

on magic carpet air for our barefoot rising mornings<br />

move us through days as if every step through portals misted with<br />

the scent of power <strong>and</strong> good, <strong>and</strong> substantial fleshed up solid love.<br />

& what they think has nothing to do with my inhaling holy & exhaling healing<br />

I am, I am<br />

there it is…<br />

this air was made for me too<br />

come be with me in air of new sunrise<br />

Tibetan monk bowing to eastern sky<br />

be with me in full moon stirrings i need your h<strong>and</strong> against mine dancing<br />

stay with me in angry rain<br />

i will sing shelter from noise<br />

fold neatly operettas blues & ballads for breast pocket<br />

of white starched <strong>and</strong> ironed cotton shirt<br />

sleeves rolled-up three quarters to nine… for my coming out party<br />

there it is…<br />

Homage to Mother<br />

by C. Jerome Woods<br />

Thank you for the path paved<br />

For all you gave.<br />

In honor<br />

I burn white c<strong>and</strong>les<br />

I pour libation<br />

Disperse incense <strong>and</strong> sage<br />

Dark beauty a mother’s only child<br />

Fixed income senior<br />

Design diva<br />

Carried your opinion, fashioned your own style<br />

Credence to my existence<br />

Madonna to my pride<br />

Your quick wit, darting mind<br />

Crafty humor, one of a kind<br />

Are remembered<br />

When depression set in <strong>and</strong> visions of you are cloudy<br />

Cerebral crevices become charged<br />

Sinewy synapses align<br />

People, place, you personality<br />

remind.<br />

Thought you would outlive me<br />

And I would not have to cry<br />

Wanted you always here<br />

And never have to die.<br />

Could not have imagined bearing witness<br />

To your leave<br />

Just wanted to love you as you love me<br />

Taking time to invite <strong>and</strong> embrace<br />

Giving me a point of reference to be me<br />

In time <strong>and</strong> space.<br />

God gave me life; you gave me birth<br />

I’m pissed you had to return to the Mother earth<br />

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust<br />

She should not have needed you for her crust.<br />

Accepting, loving, doting mother to me.<br />

Devoted, grateful, benevolent son, you see<br />

Born Black<br />

Born free<br />

Born to you, mother<br />

Born <strong>LGBT</strong>!<br />

Knowing eyes, telling tongues<br />

Anchored here, poof ... you’re gone.<br />

Never wanted to write the story<br />

To tell the tale<br />

Never wanted to say goodbye<br />

Only wish you well<br />

on the National Register of Historic Places. As the<br />

nation’s highest historic l<strong>and</strong>mark designation, the<br />

site has been formally recognized for its role in<br />

interpreting the heritage <strong>and</strong> history of the<br />

United States.<br />
