CELEBRATING <strong>THE</strong> TIES THAT BIND<br />
<strong>THE</strong> CHARITY<br />
PARTNERS<br />
The LA Leather Pride Committee is proud to<br />
announce the following 3 charity partners who will<br />
share in the success of our <strong>2016</strong> event.<br />
<strong>THE</strong> ONE ARCHIVES<br />
FOUNDATION<br />
The ONE Archives<br />
Foundation collects,<br />
preserves, and protects<br />
<strong>LGBTQ</strong> history, art, and culture<br />
in collaboration with ONE Archives<br />
at the USC Libraries. Founded<br />
in 1952, ONE Archives currently<br />
houses over two million archival<br />
items including periodicals, books,<br />
film, video and audio recordings,<br />
photographs, artworks, organizational<br />
records, and personal papers.<br />
SEXUAL MINORITIES<br />
UGANDA (SMUG)<br />
Sexual Minorities Uganda<br />
(SMUG) is an umbrella<br />
non-governmental organization based in<br />
Kampala, Uganda, advocating for the protection<br />
and promotion of human rights<br />
of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender<br />
Ugandans. The network, comprised of<br />
18 organizations, works closely with<br />
indigenous, regional and international human<br />
rights organizations and persons to<br />
end discrimination and injustices towards<br />
LGBTI persons in Uganda.<br />
TOM OF FINLAND<br />
FOUNDATION<br />
In 1984,<br />
the nonprofit<br />
Tom of Finland Foundation<br />
was established by Durk Dehner<br />
and his friend Touko Laaksonen<br />
a.k.a. Tom of Finland. As Tom had<br />
established worldwide recognition<br />
as the master of homoerotic art,<br />
the Foundation’s original purpose<br />
was to preserve his vast catalog<br />
of work. Several years later the<br />
scope was widened to offer a safe<br />
haven for all erotic art in response<br />
to rampant discrimination against<br />
art that portrayed sexual behavior<br />
or generated a sexual response.<br />
Today the Foundation continues in<br />
its efforts of educating the public<br />
as to the cultural merits of erotic<br />
art and in promoting healthier,<br />
more tolerant attitudes about<br />
sexuality.<br />
