Let’s Talk About It LGBTQ Community Support

By Yvette Tello A very good friend of mine wanted to give me some well intended advice. He said I should tread lightly when supporting those part of the LGBTQ community. He said other organizations that support my newspaper may take offense and choose not to do so anymore.

Initially, I thought he was kidding.

You see, my friend that told me this is a gay, elderly man. I didn’t know how to respond so I just said, “ I can’t stop being me even if that means I offend people.”. I support causes and people; not all causes and not all people. What do you think? Do you think that someone should only support the LBGTQ in private? Is that truly support? I thought we were passed this. Am I wrong? Let’s talk about it... #letstalkaboutit Alexander Steele: “In real estate, there are a lot of Christian people.

I would not do it. It's suicide.

People in San Antonio are still Bible believing people.”

Los Araiza: “Do what feels right on what to report. Too many people out here in this world will always try to silence others.”

Braulio José Veloz Carvajal: “Yvette Tello, a true friend and ally of our LGBTQ community; we have your back sister!!!!”

Lila A'Giza: “There's a lot of politics behind it. I have been there. I can just not support the community. It would be like not supporting family and friends but I

get what he was trying to tell you.

Everybody is not ready for that.

He came from a time where to be gay openly was to be threatened or killed. Those times are over.”

Hector Gonzales: “I love you for being you.”

Shawn Armstrong: “Here's my point of view: I really don't care what one's beliefs or choice of lifestyle is as long as that belief or choice of lifestyle is NOT forced upon me. (Just like all those Bakers that are being sued because they don't want to make a cake because that's not their beliefs; that is what's being forced upon people. That's unacceptable. Yet they want us to accept what they do and how they act.) Some laws are being passed that are being forced upon us as a whole. Like about things that you can say about that choice of lifestyle to someone and they get offended and you can be in trouble for that. I think that's totally unacceptable. Right there you are binding someone's First Amendment, rights.... So as for me, my motto is: "You have the right to be offended and I have the right to not care.".... as for supporting that lifestyle that is up to each and every one's own self because It's up to you whether you want to be Open about it or not. It's no one else's business.”

Marti Salazar: “No. I'm a Catholic, pretty conservative person.

I've met many gay, transgender people and transvestite performers.

I grew up with gay classmates and taught gay students. Other Christian friends tell me they're con-

cerned. God commands us to love our neighbor. I have a Catholic Bible with all of the chapters that are complete. I don't recall Jesus specifying which neighbors to ignore. I met gorgeous in spirit men, awesome parents, accomplished lesbians and transgender women who I bonded with instantly and love dearly. Follow your heart.”

Jeff Hull: “I support.”

Holly Benchoff: “If he is elderly, he may have just been trying to save you some of the pain and heartache he had been put through.

I don't care who you love as long as you're not hurting anyone else... you do you!’

Rick Carter: “We passed this one in Romans 2:2, none of us are perfect, be yourself, accept who you like, distance others. The guys I despise the most are straight white dudes in their 60's with narcissistic behavior.”

Candy Yvonne: “We’re all sinners and need God's Holy guidance and his direction. Jude 1:22–23 says, ‘And have mercy on those who doubt; save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.’

These verses tell us to extend mercy and compassion for people, and hate for the sin.”

Denise Castano Wirth: “I'm Conservative and support LGBTQ, as most Conservatives I know are. Do what you feel is best for you.”

Juneteenth Celebration The First Of Its Kind

By Yvette Tello Danielle Gulley was born into a family of musical gospel legends. She has been a singer, writer, actor and producer. Danielle now serves as Director of Worship at Now Word Covenant Church in San Antonio, Texas.

Her production company has successfully produced over 50 productions, spanning from stage plays to pageants, and comedy shows to major concerts.

This year, for the first time ever, Gulley’s company, Perpetual Innovations Entertainment, LLC, a pioneer in spiritually based family friendly entertainment, and The Impact Network, the largest African American inspirational networks in the world, have partnered with various business and community leaders to produce one of the largest Juneteenth celebrations in metro San Antonio history.

The 2022 Juneteenth Family Festival (JFF) will be held on June 18, 2022, at the Real-Life Amphitheater in Selma, TX. The event will start off with a 5k Freedom walk run which takes place at 8am. Then, a

Juneeteenth ceremony will be held where they will be honoring eight deserving individuals that have made an impact in the community and abroad. They have been selected by their peers. Bios were written and submitted about how these individuals impacted their lives and their communities.

After the ceremony, the grounds will be opened up for the carnival for the kids and adults alike (because there's a kid in all of us).

There will be a singles symposium, marriage symposium and Veteran’s symposium. Discussions will include different ways to build up our communities; as we build people we build our communities. They are free to the public. All you have to do is just get a ticket on Eventbrite to attend the symposium. There will be a concert held with Grammy winning headliners Fred Hammond and recent Superbowl performer Erica Campbell.

Juneteenth is now a national holiday and the actual day is June 19th. Juneteenth signifies when over 250,000 Texas slaves were notified that they were now free.

In 1865, they found out

even though it was in 1863 when the emancipation went through. Juneteenth is the celebration of freedom.

Growing up in Michigan and Arkansas, Gulley never heard much about Juneteenth at all until she moved to Texas in 1998. She found out so much about Texas history.

“I find it very important to shed light on this Independence day celebration for everyone; not just African Americans. It really exhibits strength and perseverance to move forward; to stride forward for bigger and better things to come in our communities. We need to feel that hope for something to reach for today as we go out throughout our daily lives.”

Juneteenth is very specific to Texas but it is celebrated throughout the country.

Gulley feels we need to talk about it as we would other holidays. Not to exclude anyone but to be inclusive.

“If you celebrate freedom, this is a great opportunity to come and celebrate with everyone. We need to have more fun with it as we do on the 4th of July.”

The San Antonio African American Community Archive And Museum And Ikea Live Oak Partner And Announce Exhibit Highlighting Juneteenth

By Lisa Jackson The San Antonio African American Community Archive and Museum (SAAACA) and IKEA Live Oak announce their partnership in the creation of exhibits and activities celebrating Juneteenth. The celebration entitled “A Day at IKEA '' strives to embody the IKEA mission of creating a better everyday life for the many people. The event promises to provide a fun and educational day for the community and will feature photo exhibits created by SAAACAM as well as storytime and craft activities at IKEA Live Oak. The exhibition, story time, and activities will take place every weekend from June 10 – 30, 2022. IKEA Live Oak is located at 1000 IKEA RBFCU Parkway Live Oak, TX 78233.

The IKEA Live Oak Juneteenth exhibit is a standalone, mural-size storyboard designed to engage the community. It will be located next to the Swedish

Restaurant. In addition to the exhibit, there will also be story time for children between the ages of 4-10 every hour running from 10:30 am until 4:30 pm. After each SAAACAM story time, the children will be provided with Juneteenth activities they can complete and take home with them. Story time and crafts will take place on the following days: June 11, 12, 25, and 26.

Officially founded in 2017, the San Antonio African American Community Ar-

chive and Museum (SAAACAM) is working to uncover the legacy that reaches back to the early days of the Spanish colonists and Texas Republic. SAAACAM is a 501©(3) nonprofit organization formed to collect, maintain, disseminate, and interpret authentic African American artifacts related to San Antonio history in a community-based digital archive. Collective legacies of pioneering families will serve as the basis of an evolving collection. Information will be compiled and interpreted in the context of the entire City of San Antonio and throughout Bexar County. The development of the archive is ongoing and SAAACAM will serve as a proactive steward of cultural and physical preservation of historic African American resources. www. saaacam.org

Xavier Garza, Latino Artist and Author: A Premier Storyteller

By Dr. Ricardo Romo Xavier Garza grew up among storytellers in his hometown of Rio Grande City along the Texas-Mexico border. The best of the storytellers included his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. When his parents, who made a living as migrant farmworkers, left annually to pick the crops in agricultural fields far from home, Garza would spend weeks, sometimes months with his grandparents. His early art training was assisted by his grandmother who made sure that Garza always had a batch of crayons and paper to keep him occupied drawing and doodling.

Garza’s grandparents grew

up in Mexico and mainly spoke Spanish to him, contributing to his bilingualism. They also introduced him to Mexico’s legendary singers, actors, and iconic characters such as La Virgen de Guadalupe and La Malinche. Describing the inspiration for his art on the Latina/o Art Community Web site, Garza wrote: "From the flour tortillas filled with rice and beans that I ate as a boy to the songs by Pedro Infante that my grandmother sang to me as she rocked me to sleep, I paint what I know and have experienced in my life." These stories and his drawing skills influenced him profoundly.

Today Garza, a prolific author with more than 20 books,

Xavier Garza at home. Photo by Ricardo Romo, 2022. is one of the few Latino artists in the United States who writes and illustrates his own stories.

Among some Latino collectors, Garza is well known for introducing the “Luchador” series, Mexican wrestlers who wore masks to enhance their mystic as performers.

Garza attended the University of Texas-Pan American in Edinburg in the mid-1990s

and moved to San Antonio to teach and pursue a Masters’ in Art History at the University of Texas-San Antonio. I met Garza in 2000 at Joe Lopez’s Gallista Gallery and studio complex on South Flores in San Antonio. The following year Arizona State University writer Gary Keller selected his art for the monumental Latino art book, Contempo-

rary Chicana and Chicano Art: Artists, Works, Culture, and Education. By including a painting of a luchador, “El Santo,” [acrylic, 2000], Keller helped to document the pioneering imaging of luchadors

by Garza, an image that few, if any, Chicano artists had incorporated at that time.

In El Santo from the Super Luchas series, Gary Keller

Xavier Garza, “Chicano Last Supper.”

Photo by Ricardo Romo, 2022. wrote, “Garza pays homage to the most famous of the luchadores enmascarados [masked wrestlers], El Santo [The Saint]. “In this acrylic on canvas depiction, El Santo’s head, torso, and red cape occupy the entire frame. El Santo looks out and engages the viewer. His eyes are bold but inscrutable, inviting the viewer to contemplate the mystery behind his mask….El Santo is so visually striking in part because the white-silveryellow-tinged mask literally telescopes out of the deep blue backdrop. The way the crimson red cape is flipped over the shoulders also contributes to this forward movement and vitality.”

Garza came of age as an artist in 1996. That year, he participated in two exhibitions, one in Reynosa, Mexico, and the second one in Corpus Christi, Texas. Sarah Kessinger of the McAllen (Texas Monitor) saw great talent in the young artist. She wrote that year that “Xavier Garza doesn’t see the world through rose-tinted glasses. His painting reflects his view of the Latino experience. Vivid colors accentuate his portrayals of conflict, contradictions, death, and despair on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border….

The paintings involved issues of religion, racism, gangs, machismo, mistreatment of immigrants, and others.”

Garza’s illustrated children’s books have reached readers across America. The bilingual “Lucha Libre Thriller, Maximilian: The Mystery of the Guardian Angel” is an awardwinning story of a young boy in San Antonio who connects with a luchador [wrestler] from across the border. It is a story of grudge matches and fantastic villains.

The “Creepy Creatures and Their Cucuys” is among Garza’s most popular illustrated storybooks. The author draws on the age-old story about the cucuys, a Mexican term for supernatural beings capable of haunting our imagination.

The book notes that Garza has “preserved the stories just the

11

Xavier Garza,“Creepy Creatures and Other Cucuys.” way he heard them at the knees of other masters when he was growing up in South Texas.”

Garza has been a middle school art teacher for the past thirty years. He currently teaches at Vale Middle School with the Northside school district. He has also been an adjunct art professor at Northwest Vista College. In the evenings and weekends, he writes and works on his art in a small home studio near the Medical Center. Every wall in his studio and much of the other rooms of his home are filled with art. His wife Irma collects art depicting the Virgen de Guadalupe and a living room space is dedicated to her collection.

Following the horrific events at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas last week, Garza was one of the first authors to sign up to do a reading [pro bono] at Uvalde’s El Progreso Memorial Library. I am the lead volunteer for the collection of books for the children’s section of the library and we are currently raising funds to buy books for students of elementary to middle school ages. All of Garza’s books currently in print will be acquired.

His stories and illustrations, all bilingual, resonate with young Latinos. Garza has been a featured artist and author presenter in book festivals and public readings around the country, as well as in Mexico.

Local Veteran Marines Giveback!

By Natasha Gonzales Photo : Motion Arts Media LLC If you were driving down Thousand Oaks this past Sunday, you probably drove past a group of shirtless veteran Marines waving neon signs noting a nearby car wash. Eddie’s Taco House at 3755 Thousand Oaks sponsored my first fundraising event for Riverwalk Queen!

100% of all proceeds is going to Alamo City College Scholarships through Friends of the Riverwalk.

When we put out a call to action, local veterans came forward to help sup-

port the cause and they understood the assignment! They danced, sang, helped a great cause and had a great time doing it!

I am planning on having another car wash sometime in the near future so please be on the lookout!

You can help support my

campaign by following me at @Norteno 210 for Riverwalk Royalty on Instagram and Facebook.

HUGE thank you to all of the SATMAR Marines who came out and showed support! I hope you all had a great time and let’s do it again!
