COVER 

One proud thing we 

gay rags get to do is 

document our gay 

history. In a world 

where the only 

catalyst for change 

is pain. When the 

issue (whatever 

it is), cannot be 

tolerated, there 

must be change. 

Please note I use 

terms like “many” 

instead of “all 

people”. 

Palm Springs police 

report on Oct. 4 

there was a fight at 

gay-friendly Wang’s in the 

Desert. It may be a hate 

crime. 

Police said anyone who 

witnessed the fight can 

contact Detective Edman 

Escallada at (760) 323- 

8129. 

This is an ongoing 

investigation so the 

details may change. 

But I want to know why 

Palm Springs police 

labeled Wang’s in the 

Desert “gay friendly”. As 

far as I know, it’s a gay 

and straight friendly, 

but it also includes 

trans community and 

those that do not label 

themselves at all. We 

are a changing world 

and our police proudly 

accepts our changes and

expected to act accordingly. My dad used 

to tell me in his day, if a cop beat up a kid, 

that parent would beat up the kid too, for 

messing with “his” job. But when that job 

included beating up black kids to protect 

white folks from what might happen, the 

civil rights movement started. And clearly 

that movement still has a long way to go. 

Growing up, we had a lake called 

Coggmanchauggagoggchau 

bunagungamaugg. or Webster lake 

My shaman told me it means you fish on 

that side and I fish on this side and nobody 

fishes in the middle! 

But it’s presents an underlying statement 

that people are reluctant to integrate. One 

only needs to remember Halloween past 

replaced fewer houses available to the 

average trick or treater for one reason or 

another. Integration is beneficial. 

The real problem is how this has now 

spilled into our streets and everyday life. 

Like shootings, Wang's, George Zander’s 

murder or the flag waving with ramped 

up MAGA tweakers in pickup trucks with 

gigantic flags in their bed! 

These are just bullies daring someone, 

anyone to knock some chip off their 

shoulder. Even the method of wearing a 

MAGA can be used like a weapon at a 

native American is not politics its wrong. 

Then at some liberal event, this hate is 

inciting people to act out as we saw in 

Charlottesville. The reality today is these 

once isolated events are the tip of the 

iceberg. One that’s that is melting fast 

under a climate change of hate and likely 

to get far worse. In impeachment past we 

all agreed on the bad behavior and the 

obstruction. 

This rings true for many things that move 

on a moral scale of gray levels. But there 

are many things not on that scale, things 

that are black and white like racism and the 

KKK do not have any gray areas. 

Right now, all fingers point to Trump 

as the real problem when he riles up his 

base to hate filled levels. When his base 

still believe they voted in hate because the 

liberals pushed to far. Its wrong but real 

but will be there after we deal with Trump.. 

Sure, Racism can take many forms and 

might have different severities but is all Those that call an undocumented citizen

GAY PRIDE ARTISTS OVERRIDE THE DISCRIMINATION ADMINISTRATION 

There were symbols to represent 

the LGBTQ community prior to the 

rainbow flag designed by Gilbert 

Baker and first used in San Francisco 

in the gay rights parade in 1979, but 

it has become the standard symbol of 

the community since that date. Gay 

pride initially gained recognition 

following the Stonewall Inn Uprising 

in New York City in June of 1969. 

However, the struggle for recognition 

and equal rights continues at an even 

more vigorous level following the 

election of Donald Trump in 2016. 

section of citizens began. Over the 

past 3 years, there have been 60 

actions directed to roll back, remove 

or add new discriminatory actions 

against the LGBTQ community. 

Anti-transgender rights have been 

especially targeted. Obviously the 

influence of Vice President in Hate, 

Pence, has pushed much of this 

discrimination. 

Artists from all areas of the visual and 

performing arts have protested against 

the Trump hate campaign. Musician 

artists including Neil young who 

AdamsArtExpose’ ART 

Since the day he was inaugurated, protested Trump using his "Rocking 

Trump's first discriminatory move in the Free World" as background 

on January 20, 2017, the mention music for his campaign. R.E.M. took 

of LGBTQ people was scrubbed legal action for TTrump's; use of "Its 

from the websites of the White the End of the World" as a pump-up 

House, Department of State, and jam for rallies. Twisted Sister initially 

Department of Labor. That is how agreed to Trump using "Not gonna 

24 discrimination IF YOU LIKE US, and PLEASE hate LIKE for US one ON FACEBOOK: Take DESERTDAILYGUIDE 

it Anymore", but then rejected

it being used seeing the hypocrisy of 

Trump. Adele did not give permission 

for the use of "Rolling in the deep" and 

the theme from "Skyfall" for political 

campaigning. Elton John rejected 

Trump's fascination with him and his 

music. Although admitting to knowing 

Trump and saying that he had nothing 

but pleasant interactions with him prior 

to his election, Elton said his political 

views are completely different from 

using their works. 

Numerous visual artists have provided 

their own version of protests to Trump's 

tyranny including Brian Stauffer's " 

A Shred of Truth," painting or Adam 

Ellis's game art, Scrabble of "Trump is a 

Racist or Rapist" However the protests 

of artist continue to help eradicate the 

Trump from our society the Rainbow 

flag and colors continue to represent the 

his and then stated that "Why not ask 

Ted fucking Nugent? Or one of those 

fucking country stars: They'll do it for 

you". Adding to the list, The Rolling 

Stones, Queen George Harrison's estate, 

along with Steven Tyler and opera 

singer Luciano Pavarotti's esate has 

protested Trump's even referring to 

positive Pride movement of the LGBTQ 

community toward equality and 

acceptance in a world of discrimination 

and hate.
