COVER<br />
Known as “El Charro de Oro”<br />
(or, figuratively, the boy with the<br />
golden voice), Sebastien was born<br />
and raised in San An<strong>to</strong>nio. A great<br />
moment soured by racism as he<br />
sang the National Anthem!<br />
THE LAST WORD<br />
by Greg Pettis<br />
Wow, what a week!<br />
The President, the<br />
FBI and...<br />
This Cinco de <strong>May</strong>o celebrations<br />
is more than honoring the<br />
music and food of Mexico. It<br />
is important <strong>to</strong> note these<br />
events have been canceled all<br />
over America. Despite the<br />
ongoing rhe<strong>to</strong>ric of the current<br />
administration, The United States<br />
remains a multicultural nation<br />
with a large and growing Hispanic<br />
population. Celebrating Cinco de<br />
<strong>May</strong>o is a wonderful way <strong>to</strong> show<br />
we are part of a global community<br />
and that, by respecting and<br />
learning about cultures that<br />
are different from theirs (or<br />
celebrating their own cultures<br />
while teaching others about what<br />
makes their heritage unique), We<br />
are becoming responsible citizens<br />
in that community.<br />
The 111th Annual Cinco de <strong>May</strong>o<br />
Parade and Fiesta is a free two day<br />
celebration PAGE 8<br />

The gathering of<br />
1,000 attendees<br />
will be the largest<br />
in the nation <strong>to</strong><br />
commemorate the<br />
40th Anniversary<br />
of the assassination<br />
of Harvey Milk<br />
and George<br />

Cinco de <strong>May</strong>o<br />
Celebration<br />
Cinco de <strong>May</strong>o is an annual celebration<br />
held on <strong>May</strong> 5. The date is observed<br />
<strong>to</strong> commemorate the Mexican Army’s<br />
amazing vic<strong>to</strong>ry over the French Empire at<br />
the Battle of Puebla, on <strong>May</strong> 5, 1862, under<br />
the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza.<br />
In the U.S. the date has become associated<br />
with the celebration of Mexican-American<br />
culture. The DDG could not be more proud<br />
of our Hispanic culture in the United Sates.<br />
It’s <strong>to</strong>o bad that we have a president and his<br />
Party that cannot see that.<br />
Locally Hispanic Americans are long<br />
established in Palm Springs’ central and<br />
eastern sections, and have constituted the<br />
majority of the populations of Indio and<br />
Coachella for many decades. In the 2000<br />
U.S. census, about 35 percent of Coachella<br />
Valley residents were Latino. But according<br />
<strong>to</strong> the United States Hispanic Chamber<br />
of Commerce, an estimated half (50–60<br />
percent) of the residents are Latino. A large<br />
portion of Latinos moving in<strong>to</strong> the area are<br />
from the Los Angeles-Orange County and<br />
San Diego metro areas. <strong>Gay</strong> and Straight<br />
young and old, they enjoy the same rights<br />
and privileges as all Americans. Most of<br />
us do not care about documentation, only<br />
they share the same family values and<br />
human rights for each other that we all do.<br />
person uses that term, they are letting you<br />
know they are probably racist or at best<br />
uninformed or as I like <strong>to</strong> say “mentally<br />
lazy”. As anyone knows we are all presumed<br />
innocent until judged guilty and so its not a<br />
leap <strong>to</strong> see that they will themselves ignore<br />
our laws. Please consider this at voting<br />
time.<br />
After all Mexico gave the world guacamole,<br />
<strong>to</strong>rtillas, mariachi, tequila and mezcal, So<br />
lets take a Culture Trip in<strong>to</strong> a day that<br />
we are celebrating <strong>to</strong> remember the great<br />
contributions of our Latino brothers and<br />
sisters and say thanks.<br />
Lets take Popcorn made from maize (corn),<br />
it makes sense that the Zapotec peoples<br />
would have been the brains behind this.<br />
These popped kernels were known as<br />
momochtli. They were made in hot clay<br />
pots, and then<br />
And Chewing Gum, First stumbled upon<br />
by the <strong>May</strong>ans, who extracted the sap that<br />
was originally used <strong>to</strong> make chewing gum<br />
(‘chicle’) from trees.<br />
Anything with Kahlúa is aways better most<br />
people don’t realize that the delicious coffee<br />
liqueur Kahlúa is Mexican in origin. It was<br />
invented in Veracruz and, interestingly,<br />
once had an all-female executive board.<br />

Father Miguel Hidalgo (1753-1811) was<br />
the last person you would have thought<br />
would kick off a revolution in Spanish<br />
colonial Mexico. A respected parish<br />
priest, Hidalgo was already in his fifties<br />
in 1810 and was a valued member of<br />
his community. Nevertheless, inside the<br />
body of the dignified priest known for<br />
his command of the complicated Catholic<br />
theology, there beats the heart of a true<br />
revolutionary. On September 16, 1810, he<br />
<strong>to</strong>ok <strong>to</strong> the pulpit in the <strong>to</strong>wn of Dolores<br />
and informed his flock that he was taking<br />
up arms against the hated Spanish…and<br />
he invited them <strong>to</strong> join him. Angry mobs<br />
turned in<strong>to</strong> an irresistible army and before<br />
long, Hidalgo and his supporters were at<br />
the very gates of Mexico City. Hidalgo was<br />
captured and executed in 1811, but the<br />
revolution lived on, and <strong>to</strong>day Mexicans<br />
see him as the father of their nation.<br />
Beni<strong>to</strong> Juarez (1806-1872) was a truly<br />
remarkable individual. A full-blooded<br />
Mexican Indian who was born in<strong>to</strong><br />
grinding poverty, he didn’t even speak<br />
Spanish as his first language. He <strong>to</strong>ok<br />
full advantage of the opportunities he<br />
had and went <strong>to</strong> seminary school before<br />
going in<strong>to</strong> politics. By 1858 he had<br />
declared himself President as leader of<br />
the ultimately vic<strong>to</strong>rious liberal faction<br />
during the Reform War of 1858-1861. He<br />
was removed as President by the French,<br />
who invaded in 1861. The French installed<br />
a European nobleman, Maximilian of<br />
Austria, as Emperor of Mexico in 1864.<br />
Juarez fought against Maximilian and<br />
eventually drove out the French in 1867.<br />
He ruled for five more years until his<br />
death in 1872. Juarez is remembered for<br />
many reforms, including curtailing church<br />
influence and modernizing Mexican<br />
society.<br />

THE ART OF TRUCK<br />
GRAPHICS<br />
Advertising business on vehicles is not<br />
new. Recently with the advent of large<br />
graphics images being computer generated<br />
on vinyl and adhered <strong>to</strong> surfaces is<br />
now being used on most outdoor advertising.<br />
It has now become common <strong>to</strong><br />
see vehicles covered in images reflecting<br />
everything from beverages <strong>to</strong> cosmetics.<br />
These images are usually pho<strong>to</strong>graphically<br />
generated and then enhanced by<br />
computer graphics <strong>to</strong> fit the con<strong>to</strong>urs of<br />
vehicles on which they are fastened <strong>to</strong>.<br />
Some of this as become very passe and<br />
can be seen on almost anytime you drive<br />
anywhere. The German truck graphics<br />
designers have become very creative<br />
in their approach <strong>to</strong> truck graphics.<br />
They are using visual illusion <strong>to</strong> create<br />
AdamsArtExpose’<br />
a perspective of various items <strong>to</strong> grab<br />
attention. An example is the pho<strong>to</strong> of a<br />
truck which appears <strong>to</strong> be hauling a large<br />
bottle of beer completely filling the cargo<br />
compartment and sticking out of the<br />
side. This captures the instant attention<br />
of anyone viewing it.<br />
Another witty attention drawing graphic<br />
is of a load of Pepsi car<strong>to</strong>ns that appear <strong>to</strong><br />
be loaded upside down in a transparent<br />
cargo compartment of the truck.<br />
One of the more unusual and what could<br />
be considered frightening, is of a graphic<br />
of a truck painted on the rear of a cargo<br />
area of a truck of another truck facing<br />
<strong>to</strong>ward the back of the truck. This has a<br />
driver of the truck painted as if looking<br />
backward out of the truck reversing the<br />
truck graphic. The wording in German<br />
says “On the wrong way”. Could be visually<br />
startling if you happen <strong>to</strong> come up<br />
behind this truck on the au<strong>to</strong>bahn.<br />
A pho<strong>to</strong> of a graphic of the U.S. flag<br />
appearing <strong>to</strong> be blowing in the wind over<br />
the wheels on the side of a truck created<br />
in this country. Truck graphic designers<br />
are starting <strong>to</strong> catch on in the U.S. also.<br />
Just <strong>to</strong> prove that we may also be making<br />
America great again?<br />

Fabeyonce ‘Put My Shit Back”<br />
Well this is going <strong>to</strong> be a very positive s<strong>to</strong>ry<br />
and everybody listen up. As you better know<br />
by now, Drag Queens invest a lot of money<br />
in<strong>to</strong> what we do for love but when others<br />
steal your shit, it is not cool! I’ve experienced<br />
a couple of occasions where I set down my<br />
jewelery, costume or heels then turn around<br />
for a second <strong>to</strong> come back <strong>to</strong> nothing. Its like<br />
magic it happens so fast. This is not cool.<br />
And it has happens <strong>to</strong>o often, <strong>to</strong> many of<br />
my friends. In court they explain if a child<br />
is alone at a table with a plate of cookies,<br />
they will disappear and that child will insist<br />
on innocence, even as they wipe the cookie<br />
crumbs from their mouth.<br />
We all share a dressing room and this is<br />
supposed <strong>to</strong> be a safe place for us <strong>to</strong> come<br />
back <strong>to</strong> rest or air ourselves off, <strong>to</strong>uch up.<br />
We expect <strong>to</strong> leave our stuff laying in our<br />
designated area and not have <strong>to</strong> worry about<br />
it. If you really love something you seen<br />
on someone else you can ask “Where did<br />
you get this”. If they want <strong>to</strong> be a bitch and<br />
not say...Just admire it from the distance.<br />
But it does not give you permission <strong>to</strong> steal<br />
it. Once anyone finds out who did it, the<br />
consequences for the thief can be great and<br />
last a long, long, long time.<br />
Also do not put your hands in other Queens<br />
stuff and use without asking...<br />
mind but when others use all your stuff up,<br />
makeup, lip gloss, eyeliner (no ma’am) this is<br />
where the investment part comes in and not<br />
<strong>to</strong> mention heath concerns. By that I mean<br />
yours after I find out you <strong>to</strong>ok my stuff. Sure<br />
accidents happen right...<br />
Always be prepared. Have all your stuff ready<br />
the day before the show make sure jewelery,<br />
nails, lashes, glitters, costumes, etc are ready<br />
<strong>to</strong> go cause also, no one wants <strong>to</strong> hear...<br />
“Girl, I was in a hurry and I forgot my nails<br />
you got a extra pair”, because knowing my<br />
ass I’ma be like. “Yes, I have a sandwich <strong>to</strong>o<br />
you want it as well?”. Other girls might just<br />
charge you for them but it’s all part of the gig.<br />
Today, a lot of venues have cameras leading<br />
<strong>to</strong> the outside of dressing rooms and if you<br />
get caught stealing, this is embarrassing and<br />
I might ask <strong>to</strong> print your guilty mug. Having<br />
<strong>to</strong> admit <strong>to</strong> all Queens<br />
that you did it, will stir<br />
up a lot of drama. You<br />
can also be banned from<br />
performing again. It’s<br />
really not worth it.<br />
So please keep in mind<br />
before taking something<br />
without permission that<br />
this person has worked<br />
hard for their money <strong>to</strong><br />
put in<strong>to</strong> whatever it is<br />
for it <strong>to</strong> just be taken. It’s<br />
sick and it’s sad. Thank<br />
There’s something unnerving about<br />
you all for listening, Til<br />
performing and see someone with the same<br />
next time. Find me on<br />
pair of heels. But when walk <strong>to</strong> the back and<br />
Facebook under Fabeyonce or instagram<br />
realize those were my heels (bitch!) You’re<br />

Well shit! It looks like I picked<br />
the wrong side of his<strong>to</strong>ry again. As a child,<br />
I remember the passing of the church<br />
collection plate and being accused of taking<br />
instead of giving! I did not take anything,<br />
but I realized at that same moment I could<br />
have. These life lessons pop up at odd<br />
moments but this one is for sure “Luck<br />
favors the prepared”. And being prepared<br />
will get you 10 years of free candy every<br />
Sunday.<br />
Today our most pervasive Operating<br />
System is Linux or some other form of<br />
Unix. Open Source and free software<br />
run the nation and fuels the many<br />
information leaks. The same phenomena<br />
fuels competi<strong>to</strong>rs <strong>to</strong> all of our products.<br />
The ease of picking up Linux <strong>to</strong> learn or <strong>to</strong><br />
modify some piece of it, is very attractive.<br />
Every one has your data. Comedian<br />
Michelle Wolf says she regrets nothing<br />
from her performance at the White House<br />
Correspondents’ Dinner. But it was clear<br />
she was fed your Internet data. But clearly<br />
Wolf is on the right side of his<strong>to</strong>ry. After<br />
the GOP’s butt-hurt complaints she tweeted<br />
“Why are you guys making this about<br />
Sarah’s looks? I said she burns facts and<br />
uses the ash <strong>to</strong> create a *perfect* smoky<br />
eye. I complimented her eye makeup and<br />
her ingenuity of materials.”<br />
When the Vice President say he will not<br />
dine alone with a woman, you get the<br />
idea of how bad Pence is and how bad his<br />
supporters could be. So bad, that many<br />
are calling for active resistance. If you<br />
insult God he claims the following “It’s just<br />
wrong, and it’s an insult, not <strong>to</strong> me, but <strong>to</strong><br />
the vast majority of the American people<br />
who, like me, cherish their faith,” That<br />
means he will willing sick his rabid dons<br />
on us heathens.<br />
Sodomites savaged by mastiffs. An engraving<br />
of Theodore De Bry. Based on the<br />
accounts of good Christian hate for queers.<br />
It is a good thing for us <strong>to</strong> be aware of<br />
our past religious his<strong>to</strong>ry. So many non-<br />
Christians are quick <strong>to</strong> point out the<br />
terrible things Christians have done in<br />
the past but ignore the horrors being<br />
committed in their own cultures <strong>to</strong>day.<br />
If you can believe God, Buddha, Allah,<br />
Jehovah, or others exist and are all present<br />
and let a habitual liar, unhinged, crooked<br />
and socially reprehensible misogynist that<br />
might lower your taxes lead us? All I can<br />
say is well, shit!<br />
But Given our fear of a Christian/Pence<br />
presidency, Wolf compared Yes woman<br />
Sarah <strong>to</strong> Aunt Lydia. The Aunts are a<br />
class of women assigned <strong>to</strong> indoctrinate<br />

DARE OPENS APRIL 20TH AT<br />
THE DESERT ROSE PLAYHOUSE<br />
The <strong>Desert</strong> Rose Playhouse, will present<br />
the world premiere of a new play, Dare,<br />
by Allan Baker, opening Friday, April 20,<br />
<strong>2018</strong> for a four-week run. Performances<br />
are Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 PM and<br />
Sundays at 2 PM, through <strong>May</strong> 13, <strong>2018</strong>.<br />
The drama is about Jack, an 82-year old<br />
gay man living in a Central California<br />
nursing home, who reveals his role in<br />
LGBT his<strong>to</strong>ry <strong>to</strong> his compassionate doc<strong>to</strong>r,<br />
Josh. Jack was once a vibrant activist<br />
for gay causes. He has lived his life <strong>to</strong> the<br />
fullest and is now ready for his final curtain<br />
– on his own terms. During their conversation<br />
Jack recalls his life coming out<br />
in San Francisco, and his relationship with<br />
his one true love, David, a much younger<br />
man.<br />
The flashbacks go from the early 1970s in<br />
San Francisco, <strong>to</strong> early 1980s Fire Island,<br />
later in Greenwich Village, and finally the<br />
1990s in New York. This covers the horror<br />
of the AIDS outbreak, the allure of the Fire<br />
Island Pines, and the beginnings of the<br />
ACT UP movement. Jack tells Josh of his<br />
life as a closeted banker meeting David,<br />
and the changes that came <strong>to</strong> his life<br />
because of David’s influences and love.<br />
Playwright Allan Baker is an award-winning<br />
LGBTQ voice from Austin, TX. Dare<br />
is the winner of the 2017 Mario Fratti-Fred<br />
Newman Political Play Contest at the Castillo<br />
Theatre, New York, NY. It was created<br />
with early support of ScriptWorks.<br />
Dare features Richard Marlow as “Jack”,<br />
Mathew Hocutt as “Josh”, Terry Huber<br />
as “Younger Jack”, Noah Arce as “David”,<br />
and Robbie Wayne as “Nurse Assistant”.<br />
The production is directed and designed<br />
by Jim Strait and choreographed and costume<br />
designed by Robbie Wayne. Lighting<br />
design is by Phil Murphy.<br />
Frank Ellsworth is the Producing Partner.<br />

THE LAST WORD by Greg Pettis<br />
Well, the President doesn’t s<strong>to</strong>p. Attacks,<br />
engaging in Twitter warfare and slandering<br />
those who disagree with him. That seems <strong>to</strong><br />
be fine <strong>to</strong> the House of Representatives (well<br />
the Republicans), yet they were sure were<br />
quick <strong>to</strong> attack the comedienne who spoke<br />
at the White House Correspondents Dinner.<br />
The US/North Korea summit is coming<br />
soon. The North Korea dicta<strong>to</strong>r says he<br />
will give up his nuclear weapons if the US<br />
promises not <strong>to</strong> invade his country. He may<br />
want <strong>to</strong> rethink that now that Trump seems<br />
ready <strong>to</strong> walk away from the Iran nuclear<br />
deal.<br />
Special news came out that the Trump<br />
campaign has been paying his former<br />
at<strong>to</strong>rney, Michael Cohen’s legal bills. Hmmm,<br />
what does Trump want from Cohen? <strong>Since</strong><br />
the amount is over $130,000, the same as<br />
what Cohen paid S<strong>to</strong>rmy Daniels for silence<br />
- seems like Trump may want the same from<br />
Cohen, not the sex but silence.<br />
Locally, the valley’s Path of Life homelessness<br />
program is becoming a bit more controversial.<br />
Some cities, including Cathedral City,<br />
are Beginning <strong>to</strong> balk at paying POLM<br />
more money when they are not placing<br />
homeless in group homes throughout the<br />
valley, but shipping them off <strong>to</strong> Riverside<br />
or subcontracting <strong>to</strong> the Coachella Valley<br />
Rescue Mission. The feeling is if CVRM is<br />
doing the job, maybe they should have the<br />
contract. Time will tell.<br />
cannabis industry. Reports are saying that<br />
within 5 years there will be 2 million jobs in<br />
the cannabis industry! That is huge. And a<br />
whole lot more than Trump’s plan <strong>to</strong> bring<br />
back coal.<br />
Speaking of coal, the Administration has<br />
announced they are rolling back emission<br />
controls for au<strong>to</strong>mobiles saying the<br />
regulations are “unhealthy”. I always thought<br />
the blanket of smog draping the Los Angeles<br />
basin while I was growing up in the 60’s was<br />
what was unhealthy.<br />
Ford Mo<strong>to</strong>r Co has announced that they are<br />
retiring all of their sedans; I.e., Taurus and<br />
Focus, and will only be making SUV’s and<br />
hatchbacks. There will be hybrids offered<br />
but it does look as if the day of what we<br />
consider traditional cars will be going away.<br />
Remember, Cathedral City’s public input<br />
sessions for the General Plan update<br />
continues <strong>May</strong> 8 at 5:00pm. The meeting<br />
will be held at the Agua Caliente Elementary<br />
School on San Luis Rey Drive. This General<br />
Plan is going <strong>to</strong> be laying out the city’s goals<br />
and aspirations through 2040. Come lend<br />
your voice.<br />
That’s it for this week. Stay strong. Keep<br />
resisting!<br />
New estimates are in on job creation for the<br />
