<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 />

<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 />

<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 />

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 />

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 />

Southern California. Barnsdall Park, including<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 />
