Moving Gayly Forward

Albert H. Fulcher Editor

Although it was not the first time our community stood up for its rights, the Stonewall riots had a distinct before and after effect unlike any other time in our history. The LGBT community in Greenwich Village, NY had enough of police raids and in the early hours of June 28, 1969, a small group of people at the Stonewall Inn fought back resulting in six days of protests and riots. A pivotal moment in U.S. history, after the riots, people came out of the closet, becoming active, visible and vocal, which resulted in a multitude of organizations and people that began the stand for LGBT rights.

So as we celebrate Pride here in San Diego, we remember those who stood strong before us, because we now stand at another crucial moment in history, one that could turn back the clock and throw us back in the closet. There is a large sector of people in this country who would love nothing more than that. We are watching as they try to strip our rights from us.

We’ve had momentous moments with the Defense of Marriage Act in 2015 following 37 states that had already

legalized same-sex marriage.

This was an up and down battle, even here in California. But make no mistake. As a community we are still under attack from so many directions, and all of them are detrimental to the LGBT community.

In January, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Trump Administration's military transgender ban.

Transgender people can no longer enlist and these in the military will more than likely be discharged for needing hormone treatments, surgery, having gender dysphoria and can't or won't serve in their birth gender.

The Human Rights Campaign reported 26 violent deaths of transgender people in the U.S. in 2018, the majority Black women. So far this year, there are at least 12 reported transgender people who were violently killed. All Black women. Two more transgender deaths are under investigation, one black transgender woman who died in custody at Riker's Island jail complex in New York City, and an El Salvadorian trans woman who died shortly after being released from ICE detention.

Trans lives matter. Black lives matter.

The Guttmacher Institute reported a total of 27 abortion bans have been enacted across 12 states so far in 2019.

Between January 1, 2011 and May 31, 2019, 479 abortion restrictions were enacted in 33 states. That’s more than a third of the 1,271 abortion restrictions enacted since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973.

These laws all have one goal in common — to get the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade and strip women of the rights over their own bodies. Women’s right matter.

Mass Shooting Tracker reports 251 people have been killed in mass shootings (four or more shot) and 793 injured this year to date, compared to 528 people killed and 1,549 injured in 2018 in America. In 2018, the FBI reported a 17 percent year-over-year increase in federal hate crimes in 2017, with 60% being against gay men out of 1,249 victims of gender-based violence. And many hate crimes are not reported.

After the Pulse nightclub massacre, we now know that in reality that we no longer have any safe places. We’ve had a shooting and LGBT hate vandalism this year in Hillcrest, along with attacks on other minorities, religions in our region.

All lives matter.

The Supreme Court has agreed to consider whether a federal employment discrimination law that bans discrimination based on sex also includes discrimination based on sexual orientation or

gender identification. This is an issue that is of critical importance to LGBT rights groups who are seeking increased protections. The Trump administration said that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act does not provide such protections.

Discrimination against the LGBTQ community is still legal in 32 states. Our quality of life matters.

But we cannot let any of these things deter us from carrying on what Stonewall taught us: to fight back and continue to say, “No, we will not tolerate this anymore.” Our livelihood and our lives depend on it.

That is why we still need Pride celebrations today. With this year’s Pride, I am expecting the largest turnout in our history and the biggest party in San Diego.

San Diego LGBT Pride has outdone itself this year, again, and this is the perfect opportunity to unite for all the causes that we stand for and stand against. Yes, we need to be aware and continue the fight, but we also need to show the world that there is nothing, absolutely nothing, that will allow us to crawl back into the closets.

Be proud, be loud, be free, be who you are. Have a fabulous Pride!

JULY 12-14, 2019

Dear friends I am once again extremely excited to join thousands of San Diegans in celebrating this year’s LGBTQ Pride!

Pride 2019 is especially important because we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, the spark that ignited increased LGBTQ activism across the nation. It is not just the riots that began June 28, 1969, outside the Stonewall Inn that account for the progress we’ve made as a community, but also what followed. A year after Stonewall, LGBTQ people in many cities began organizing the first Pride parades to commemorate the uprising. Since then, events all over the nation have been promoting the same mission of advancing LGBTQ equality.

As a proud member of the Legislative LGBTQ Caucus, I am also delighted that in commemoration of June as LGBTQ Pride month, Governor Newsom has ordered the rainbow flag to fly over the state Capitol building. This is one more sign of progress!

We have come a long way as a community, but our work is not done. Unfortunately, we are seeing a rise in violent attacks on our community — especially

2019 San Diego LGBT Pride Guide

our transgender members.

While we should celebrate how far we have come, we must remain forever vigilant against the rise in hate across the country. The fight continues.

Happy Pride, San Diego!

Warmly, —Toni G. Atkins President pro Tempore California State Sentate

Call (858)-752-1110

secure the rights and protections we have today. They are our “Legacy of Liberation.

So much of this legacy is built on truth — being honest with ourselves and our loved ones, but also recognizing how far we have come and how much further we have to go.

While we have come far, we know this legacy of liberation is currently under attack. That is evidenced in the actions of the Trump administration, the increase in hate crimes, and the epidemic of black trans women being murdered.

At this extraordinary time in our nation’s history, we must reaffirm: we are not going back.

We must band together, stand up, be out, and be proud of who we are. That’s why Pride is as much about our history as it is our visibility.

In California, we are blessed to have the largest LGBTQ Caucus in the history of our state. This includes the first openly LGBTQ statewide elected official in our Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara.

Our City Council has more LGBTQ representation than ever before. Collectively, San Diego has more LGBTQ elected representation than San Francisco. And, in 2020, we have the opportunity to make even more history.

This weekend, each of us should celebrate who we are and who we love. Each of us should do so with a sense of hope and optimism for the future. San Diego and California will remain the example of acceptance and inclusivity, and we will be a rainbow beacon of hope for the nation and the world. We are here, we are queer, and there’s nothing holding us back. Happy Pride, San Diego!

This year, Pride carries special significance as we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots — the birth of our modern LGBTQ civil rights movement. Since that time, so many in our community have blazed trails and broken down barriers to achieve equality, equity, and

Pride is an opportunity for San Diegans to celebrate the year-round accomplishments of the LGBTQ community and our ongoing fight to exist – unapologetically, free from fear or discrimination. In 1969, the New York City Stonewall Riots launched what can be considered the start of the modern gay rights movement.

The trailblazers at Stonewall changed the course of history, they said enough was enough, and sparked a cultural revolution that paved the way for me, an openly gay elected official, and for many more San Diegans that can live and love the way they choose.

We have an obligation to celebrate our progress and the difficult path we have forged to achieve the acceptance we enjoy today. However, we cannot forget that LGBTQ people are still under attack across this country.

In 2018, twenty-six transgender people lost their lives to violence, the majority of whom were black transgender women. In the first six-months of 2019 we have already seen eleven transgender women of color lose their lives, ten of which were black trans women. This is unacceptable and it is not getting the media attention that a crisis like this warrants. And as an LGBTQ elected official, I will continue to call attention to these tragedies until all our community members are safe.

On June 24, 2019, Council President Georgette Gómez and Council members Jen Campbell, Monica Montgomery and myself adjourned a council meeting in the memory of the latest victims of anti-trans violence: Zoe Spears, Chanel Scurlock, Chynal Lindsey and Johana

‘Joa’ Medina. These trans women deserved the love that they put out into the world.

They deserved kindness, acceptance and most importantly they deserved to live long and happy lives.

This year we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the New York City Stonewall riots.

Join me in honoring the spirt of Stonewall by supporting our transgender community right

here in San Diego and across this nation. Support our Black trans sisters and lift them up as they lead our LGBTQ community and our movement into another 50 years of equality and victory.

On behalf of the citizens of San Diego, it is my pleasure to welcome you to San Diego Pride 2019.

Pride is much more than a series of events. For nearly half a century, it has played an important role in bringing together people from all walks of life to celebrate the history and diversity of our LGBTQ community. Through the years,

Pride has helped bring about positive change toward a more inclusive and equal society.

Despite the progress that’s been made, LGBTQ people still face significant discrimination, which is why — on this 50th anniversary of the tragic Stonewall riots — it’s important for the community and allies to remember the legacy of advocates who’ve come before

and those who continue speaking up for equality.

As always, I look forward to walking in solidarity with my LGBTQ friends at this year’s Pride parade. Please accept my warmest wishes for an enjoyable Pride weekend in San Diego.

—Chris Ward Councilmember District 3

Best regards, —Kevin L. Faulconer Mayor of San Diego

2019 San Diego LGBT Pride Guide

Dear Pride Family

We are about to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots that gave birth to the international Pride movement. We don’t have Pride because we’re free. We have Pride because we’re not. Our collective efforts all year round now culminate in the creation of intentional space for our community where for a weekend, a day, a few hours, or a

moment — our people can revel in joy.

For far too many of us in other parts of the world, country, and even right here in San Diego, the daily pressures of systemic legal and cultural oppression is damaging and too often deadly.

However, at Pride, we allow ourselves to exhale. We breathe in love. We un-wring our hands

and embrace found family. We claim freedom from the open air and dare to dance in daylight. Our affection sees the sun rather than shadows and shame.

We unshackle our hearts and bodies from society’s expectations and allow ourselves to unapologetically indulge in being radically only and absolutely who we know we truly are.

Pride is wherever you are, and however you choose to celebrate it.

Bravely discard fear. Seize hope. Be free.

Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning, or if this is your first; welcome to Pride. Welcome home.

This is our Legacy of Liberation!

With Love, Hope, and Pride, —Fernando Zweifach López Pronouns: They/Them/Theirs Executive Director San Diego Pride

JULY 12-14, 2019

Happy Pride, San Diego! Our community continues to face many challenges, but we are resilient! I continue to stand with all of you as we move forward against the national narrative of hate.

As we celebrate, let us take a moment to think about what Pride is all about. Let us reflect on the struggles of the past generations that got us here and about what we must do to continue advancing our pursuit for equal rights under the law.

I’m very proud of all the intersectional work that has emerged in our binational region. It is important that we stand together against increasing violence, especially against transgender women of color. I am a strong supporter of the work of Casa Arcoiris AC, the first shelter for LGBTQ immigrants in Tijuana. As LGBTQ people fleeing violence against their bodies continue to make the journey to our border to seek asylum, we must stand in solidarity with them.

As the rest of the nation looks to California for leadership, I’m happy to be part of our community that believes in equality, practices humility and kindness and, above all, is more united than ever. In the past month, our community has lost 5 transgender women

(Zoe Spears, Chanel Scurlock, Chynal Lindsay, Johana ‘Joa’ Medina, and Brooklyn Lindsay). We cannot continue to celebrate progress without demanding accountability and respect for the most vulnerable members of our society.

While the road may be long, we know that we are on the right side of history and we will persist. We must show that love trumps all, no matter what.

I am proud to stand with you as the first queer Latina Council President of the San Diego City Council.

Happy Pride!

—Georgette Gómez Council President, City of San Diego and District 9

Some of your most important connections can be found close to home We are proud to put the LGBTQ community first for more than 25 years, and we’re committed to helping you build on your success with a financial strategy that’s just for you.

We look forward to continuing to serve the San Diego LGBTQ community.

She Fest – She Fest is a woman-centered event that celebrates and supports the talents and contributions of women while fostering meaningful connections within the LGBT and larger San Diego community. Building on second-wave feminism’s creed of “the personal is political,” we are guided by principles of intersectional feminism: we recognize that while all women experience oppression, we also all experience oppression in varying forms based on race, age, class, gender, sexuality, disability, etc. With that in mind, we

want everyone at She Fest to feel supported, included, and represented. She Fest is intentionally inclusive of transgender women, nonbinary people, intersex people, and gender-nonconforming folks.

Sarria was also the first openly gay man to run for political office in the United States in 1961. From its genesis as a critical public space for the community and capacity building of LGBT San Franciscans, to its vital role in the advocacy

for LGBT human rights, “50 Years of Fabulous” documents the full scope of the organization’s historical evolution up to its contemporary struggle in finding relevance — both in the wake of social progress it has helped foster, and in light of a newly empowered political coalition committed to rolling back a half century of civil rights achievements.

2019 San Diego LGBT Pride Guide

'THE RIOTS' NIGHT OF A FULL MOON [Editor's note: The following is an excerpt from “The Gay Revolution: The Story of the Struggle,” Chapter 11, “The Riots,” by Dr. Lillian Faderman.]

The blacked-out windows and heavy door of the Stonewall Inn at 53 Christopher Street in Greenwich Village recalled a speakeasy — even to the peephole covered with a slide bar and a bouncer’s eye that suddenly appeared to check whether a knock on the door was hooligans or the fuzz come to raid the place. The door opened easily for homosexuals with the three dollars to pay for tickets that could be exchanged for a couple of watered-down drinks. The cover charge was not trivial for the gay street kids who were among the Stonewall Inn’s main habitués; but they found a way to pay it because no gay bar in the Village had such a good dance floor, or such a varied and lively clientele. There were blacks, whites, Puerto Ricans, a few Asians, leather-clad hustlers, queens with made-up faces and fluffed-out hair or sometimes in full drag; there were chicken hawks who came to pick up street kids and occasional “bougie” gays, as the kids called the Wall Street types in threepiece suits. There were occasional fag hags, too, and butch dykes

with or without femmes. Except for the chicken hawks, practically everyone there was in their teens or twenties and having an uninhibited ball in a place they could almost think of as home, if they forgot that the Genovese family held the deed and made the house rules — and couldn’t keep the Stonewall safe.

About one in the morning on June 28, 1969, the bouncer was summoned to the peephole. He looked out and saw “Lily Law, Betty Badge, and Peggy Pig,” as policemen were called by campy Village queens, and when police banged with batons and shouted, “This is a raid!” a bouncer had to open up. Six officers of Manhattan’s First Division Public Morals Squad muscled their way in. Two undercover policewomen were already inside.

For more than an hour they’d been sitting at the bar, pretending they were lesbians, and keeping their eyes open in the hopes of spotting homosexuals who were selling or using drugs.

The Stonewall’s dimly lit rooms, jammed with two hundred revelers, were suddenly flooded with harsh light. The jukebox whirred to mute. The patrons knew what that meant, and they froze. “Line up. Get your IDs out and in hand,” one of Deputy Inspector Seymour Pine’s men ordered. Those

Dr. Lillian Faderman (Courtesy photo) whose IDs showed they weren’t minors or “masquerading” as the other sex were shooed out the door. Several “drag queens” said they were “ladies” and were taken by the two policewomen to the toilet, where it was determined they’d violated New York Penal Code 240.35 section 4, against “unnatural attire or facial alteration.” “You’re under arrest,” they were told. A small knot of lesbian patrons were also singled out for special attention when a couple of them got feisty, back talking the officers, yelling, “We have a right to be here!”

Police actions like this one were not uncommon in the gay bars of Greenwich Village. The New York Court of Appeals had ruled after Dick Leitsch’s sip-in three years earlier that even homosexuals must be served in drinking establishments, but in the two weeks before the Stonewall raid the Public

Morals Squad had found reasons to raid the Snake Pit, the Tele-Star, the Checkerboard, and the Sewer. The excuse for the June 28 raid was that though the Stonewall claimed to be a private club requiring membership (people signed the “member book” with names such as Elizabeth Taylor and Daffy Duck), liquor was being sold there and the bar did not have a liquor license. Regardless of the reasons for a raid, the history of police harassment of gay bars was old enough so that gay people knew what to do. If they were so lucky as to be shooed outside instead of carted off to the police station and booked, they quickly skedaddled.

But on this night, they didn’t. As patrons were released by the police, they stood on the sidewalk in front of the bar waiting to see if friends still inside would be set free; and as each new person came through Stonewall’s door, those who waited applauded and cheered.

The unexpected limelight proved irresistible to many of the liberated who made devilmay-care assertions of dignity by prancing out diva-style, striking a pose, curtsying and bowing, blowing kisses to the throng.“The whole proceedings took on the aura of a homosexual Academy Awards Night,” an unfriendly and thoroughly baffled eyewitness reporter for the New York Daily News observed.

The festive crowd was soon swelled by Greenwich Village weekend tourists who came to see what the excitement was about.

A few doors down from the Stonewall, Village Voice reporter Howard Smith, who specialized in writing about sex, drugs, and rock and roll in the Greenwich Village counterculture, was working late in his office because he had a deadline to meet. Smith saw the commotion from his window and wondered whether there was some sort of story to be had. He wandered over to the scene. A rookie Village Voice reporter, Lucian Truscott, was already there. Truscott, a recent West Point graduate, son of a long line of military officers, had taken a summer job writing for the Voice that was to last until he had to report for duty at Fort Benning, Georgia, at the end of July. He’d had a late dinner in Chinatown and had gone for a nightcap to the Lion’s Head, a writers’ hangout two doors down from the Stonewall. Seeing the commotion in front of the bar Truscott changed his plans. Borrowing a pencil and pad of paper from someone in the Lion’s Head, he hurried to the scene, where he hopped atop a lidded trash can from which he could get a good view of what was happening.

He and Howard Smith would be the Richard Harding Davis and Ernie Pyle of the Stonewall riots.

2019 San Diego LGBT Pride Guide

Spirit of Stonewall Rally

The origins of the global Pride movement can trace its roots to the Stonewall riots of 1969, an uprising against police brutality that spread around the world. More than 1,000 Pride events have been

identified across the globe, each one taking on a local flair. In San Diego, we launch Pride weekend by honoring those beginnings with the Spirit of Stonewall Rally where we celebrate the accomplishments of those at the forefront of our movement and recommit to the work that lies ahead.

San Diego’s first rally was held in 1975. San Diego Pride’s Spirit of Stonewall Rally is a time to recognize and honor leaders who are working hard to preserve our gains and meet the many challenges still facing our community.

We are honored to have the following speakers address the

community regarding our signs of progress and challenges in the 2019 Spirit of Stonewall Rally.

2019 Spirit of Stonewall Awardees

lesbian, bisexual and transgender.

Every year, San Diego Pride accepts nominations from the community for the annual presentation of the Spirit of Stonewall Awards. The awards recognize individuals or groups who contribute significantly to the LGBT community through their leadership, activism, and fundraising efforts.

San Diego Pride is honored to recognize the following individuals and organizations as our 2019 awardees.

Without the bravery of those trans women, drag queens, butch lesbians, fem gays, street kids, and other LGBTQ folks at Stonewall Inn, and without the LGBTQ activists that kept the fire burning throughout the nation and here in San Diego, there would be no Pride.

This year, we honor and reflect on the Stonewall generation, on their activism, and on all that our community has gained through their efforts.

These are the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, two-spirit shoulders that we all stand on today, and we are honored to name them our Community Grand Marshals.

Community Grand Marshal: Stonewall Generation

Beth Israel

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, which is why we are honoring our seniors and the Stonewall generation for all they’ve done for the community as our collective Community Grand Marshal. While our community had fought back against police brutality before the Stonewall Riots, the sixday protest in New York City that began on June 27, 1969, is widely seen as the spark that ignited our modern-day LGBTQ movement. In the following years, our countrywide LGBTQ community rallied together to commemorate the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, first as Christopher Street Liberation Day marches and eventually evolving into annual LGBTQ Pride events we hold today all across the globe.

In San Diego, our brave LGBTQ community held a protest march in 1974 through the streets of Downtown. Many of these marchers walked with paper bags over their heads, shielding their identities to protect themselves from arrest and/or from losing their jobs, homes, and families. In 1975, members of our community received the first permit to commemorate Stonewall and to celebrate LGBTQ pride, paving the way for the city of San Diego and our region to recognize, honor and celebrate the lives of our community.

Champion of Pride: LaRue Fields

LaRue Fields is the senior program coordinator and services navigator for the San Diego LGBT Community Center. In this role, she is responsible for creating a safe and welcoming environment for LGBT seniors and providing access to important resources and referrals regarding health care, social services, and community activities. Her responsibilities also include increasing senior community connections and involvement, reducing isolation and providing case management to seniors on issues of housing, health care, finances, and other matters associated with aging. While in San Diego, LaRue has held positions with the San Diego LGBT Community Center, and Senior Community Centers (now known as Serving Seniors) and the Salvation Army.

Prior to coming to San Diego, LaRue was the head women’s basketball coach and

STONEWALL RALLY health/physical education instructor at Morgan State University, a historically black university in Baltimore, Maryland and the first African American female head coach at the University of Minnesota.

While in Minneapolis, Minnesota, LaRue also worked for the Minneapolis Urban League and the Minneapolis NAACP as part of their senior management teams.

LaRue is a Bayard Rustin Civil Rights Award winner (2015) and serves on the AIS (Aging & Independence Services) Senior Advisory Council as first vice-chair.

She has also been recognized for her outstanding work with the LGBT senior community

by Dave Roberts (supervisor, District 3); Senator Marty Block; Assembly members Toni Akins, Todd Gloria and Shirley Weber; and City Council member Chris Ward.

LaRue is the daughter of the late Norman and Gertrude Fields and has four siblings, two of whom live in California, and the other two residing in her home state of South Carolina.

LaRue is a tireless worker and advocate who has dedicated her life to helping others, especially LGBT seniors and low-income people of color.

Monzón is a product of their familia, chosen and kin, and the many co-conspirators who taught them the value of service, justice, and radically loving and learning with each other.

Friend of Pride: The Very Reverend Penny Bridges

The Very Reverend Penny Bridges has served as dean, or senior pastor, of St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral since 2014. During her seminary years at Yale Divinity School, she worked at a transitional residential program for individuals living with HIV/ AIDS, and the first funeral she conducted was for a man who died of AIDS and was disowned by his family.

Penny puts her heart and soul into developing a community where all are welcome and where those wounded by their religious experience can find healing.

At St. Paul’s, leadership, both lay and ordained, is open to all orientations and gender identities. In 2015, Penny initiated the installation of multicolored lights around the cathedral. Today the interfaith “Light Up the Cathedral for Pride” service is an official event of the Pride festival.

In 2016, Penny led the effort to install gender-neutral, completely accessible bathrooms at the cathedral, and she was instrumental in organizing an interfaith, pan-Latinx memorial service for the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting.

Other activities include membership of the San Diego AIDS Memorial Task Force; sponsorship of the Interfaith Shelter Workshop for LGBTQ; offering blessings at events including three Harvey Milk Diversity breakfasts, four Imperial Court de San Diego coronations,

JULY 12-14, 2019

the Pride Parade, and the Scott Carlson Thanksgiving Dinner; leadership of the Interfaith Leaders Parade lead group Lighting the Cathedral for Trans Pride; and her role as spiritual advisor to the Imperial Court’s Queen Mother of the Americas, Empress Nicole the Great.

Penny is deeply grateful for the many gifts that our LGBTQ citizens bring to St. Paul’s and the wider faith community. She currently has a dream of raising funds to purchase niches in the cathedral columbarium to house the ashes of LGBT individuals whose families have never claimed them. Penny is proud to be known as a stalwart ally of the community.

STONEWALL RALLY all. We couldn’t be prouder to recognize, celebrate and invest in our LGBTQ+ employees, members and community at large.

In addition to being the presenting sponsor of the San Diego Pride Parade, we’ve actively supported numerous LGBTQ+ organizations including the Human Rights Campaign, the SF AIDS Foundation, Out & Equal, and PFLAG to name a few.

Our belief in the importance of celebrating diversity extends to how we do business by consciously including a diverse supplier base. In 2019, we were recognized by the Golden Gate Business Association as one of the Top 10 Insurers for championing the inclusion of the LGBT business enterprises as part of the California Insurance Commissioners Diversity Initiative.

Diversity and inclusion is a key cornerstone to building a great place to work and it’s prioritized at all levels of our company. We actively recruit for new talent at LGBTQ+ career events. For the third consecutive year, we are humbled to have achieved a perfect 100% score on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index, recognizing us as one of the “Best Places to Work for LGBTQ Equality.”

Blue Shield of California’s

mission is to ensure all Californians have access to high-quality health care at an affordable price. We’re committed to those seeking affirming and nondiscriminatory health care and resources within the LGBTQ+ community and cover a range of preventive services and screenings for our members that identify on the LGBTQ+ spectrum. For those seeking gender reassignment, we do not exclude benefits.

We recognize our shared humanity, which we proudly reflect in our new ad campaign. Being able to live our values through work is what Blue Shield of California Stands for. It’s what makes us proud to be Blue.

Stonewall Service: San Diego History Center

The San Diego History Center, in the heart of Balboa Park, is the catalyst for the preservation and promotion of the history of the San Diego region. The History Center is committed to telling the

histories of everyone in our community, including those who have been excluded from textbooks, or those traditionally left out of the historical narrative.

In July 2018, we debuted the exhibition “LGBTQ+ San Diego: Stories of Struggles and Triumphs,” in partnership with Lambda Archives of San Diego. This groundbreaking exhibition runs through January 2020 and is curated by Lillian Faderman, noted LGBTQ+ author and scholar. “LGBTQ+ San Diego: Stories of Struggles and Triumphs” examines how this community has faced, fought, and continues to fight against persecution and intolerance with the goal of equality for all LGBTQ+ people.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Stonewall, the companion exhibit “Legendary Drag Queens of San Diego” shines the spotlight on the performance art of drag in San Diego and its critical role in support for LGBTQ+ causes and philanthropy.

The San Diego History Center also honors San Diego’s LGBTQ+ community and Toni Atkins, state Senate president pro tempore, and Christine Kehoe, former California Senator, as the 2019 “Makers of San Diego History.” This award honors those communities and individuals who have “Made History in their Own Time.”

Proud Supporters of the LGBT Community

The San Diego History Center, a Smithsonian Affiliate, seeks to engage audiences of all ages in connecting the past to the present and setting the stage for where our community is headed in the future. The organization was founded as the San Diego Historical Society in 1928 and today is the place where San Diego visitors and residents can discover, discuss, and determine why history matters for our region now. SDHC also serves as a gathering space where community members can dialogue and learn from each other. Through our exhibits, programs, workshops, and trainings, San Diegans learn from the past, engage with the present, and forge clearer pathways for the future.

Inspirational Couple: Ricard Gallego and Orlando Espín

Ricardo Gallego and Orlando Espín have been together 26 years and were civilly married in California in 2008. They are very proud of their affirming, supportive

families and friends. They are also the proud fathers of several canine sons.

Gallego has been very much involved in the San Diego LGBTQ community since 1999. A trained counselor, he worked for Bienestar Human Services, and then began working at the San Diego LGBT Community Center in 2004 and has been director of the Center’s Latin@ Services department for the past four years. More recently, he led the center’s efforts to serve the many LGBTQ refugees arriving at our local border and continues to work with several local immigrant-rights organizations.

Espín has been professor at the University of San Diego since 1991, after serving on the faculty of the University of Florida.

A much-published academic author specialized in the study of “popular religions” (non-institutional forms of religions), he was among the first in his field to write and speak on LGBTQ rights and realities and has encouraged others to do so. Espín was co-founder and co-chair of the Latin@ Roundtable, a program of Berkeley’s Center for LGBTQ Studies in Religion. He continues to lecture locally, nationally and internationally on Latin@ LGBTQ persons, families and religions.

Stonewall Rally is Friday, July 12, 6-7 p.m. at the Hillcrest Pride Flag, University Avenue and Normal Street.

2019 San Diego LGBT Pride Guide

Pride of Hillcrest Block Party

The Pride of Hillcrest Block Party returns to Pride Plaza celebrating the culture, history, diversity and LGBTQ+ community that lives, works and plays in San Diego’s most colorful and vibrant community. This year’s theme, “Free to Be You,” celebrates everyone’s right to be their true selves. The event features a diverse lineup of local and international talent.

The festival features a craft cocktail bar and beer garden sponsored by Miller Coors, food trucks, a go-go dancer, a DJ dance party, and YOU aboard our giant Ferris wheel as your take in the views of Hillcrest’s giant 65-foot-high, 20-by-30foot rainbow Pride flag!

This is an important theme, not only to commemorate 50 years of activism, protest and change since Stonewall, but the

Block Party will also be free thanks to generous donations made by the community over the past year.

The Block Party will kick off San Diego Pride immediately following the Spirit of Stonewall Rally with a happy hour starting at 2 p.m.

People often take the day off or leave work early to have a cocktail or two, then grab a place at the Stonewall Rally to watch the awards show and listen to speeches made by dominant LGBT voices in the community.

Friday, July 12, 2-11 p.m.

Hillcrest Pride Flag, University Avenue and Normal Street.

Register to attend this free event, donations encouraged online and at the door.

The Interfaith Shelter Network (ISN) has been an effective program for the homeless throughout San Diego County, so far helping 8,000 homeless individuals gain access to resources and services to get their lives back on track.

San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer joined the (ISN) in asking LGBT-friendly congregations to join the network and open their doors to homeless individuals at the ISN Summit on March 5 at St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral.

“We know there are a number of LGBTQ individuals experiencing homelessness and they need our help. That’s why we are asking LGBTQ-friendly congregations, who understand their needs, to join our care network and provide a temporary place for them to begin turning their lives around,” said Faulconer in a press release.

● Opening statement “The county has $2 billion in reserve tax dollars just floating in a cloud of unknown use by county supervisors,” Malbrough said.

He said he pledges to “seek community input” on how these reserve tax dollars can best be utilized and would like to see them invested in “chronically neglected or underfunded areas,” such as housing and public safety in underserved communities.

“My priority is reducing our homelessness epidemic and addressing this issue region-wide,” he said.

“Providing access to health and human services is the primary and more affordable method to avoid the pathway to homelessness and incarceration.”

“Every gay person must come out. As difficult as it is, you must tell your immediate family. You must tell your relatives. You must tell your friends if indeed they are your friends. You must tell the people you work with. You must tell the people in the stores you shop in. Once they realize that we are indeed their children, that we are indeed everywhere, every myth, every lie, every innuendo will be destroyed once and all. And once you do, you will feel so much better” —Harvey Milk
