Clubs and Pubs have been historically places where lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and trans* people have gone to meet and to socialize. This presentations presents some of the bittersweet history.
Bonnie Elizabeth Parker and Clyde Chestnut Barrow were well-known outlaws, robbers and criminals. The couple themselves were eventually ambushed and killed in Louisiana by law officers.

PRIDE is commemorated every June to honor the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City, when patrons and supporters of the Stonewall Inn staged an uprising to resist the police harassment and persecution to which LGBTQ+ Americans were commonly subjected. This uprising marked the beginning of a movement to outlaw discriminatory laws and practices against LGBTQ+ Americans.
This year, I am celebrating PRIDE by sharing bits of our rich history. Every day this month, I will post a series of profiles highlighting LGBTQ+ icons who have made significant contributions to society. Take a moment to learn about these scientists, artists, athletes, activists, business and political leaders whose stories inspire me to live authentically and to continue the fight for equity and justice, every day.
Happy PRIDE 2020!

2014 Youth Justice Coalition FREE LA High School GraduationKim McGill
Congratulations FREE LA High School Graduating Class of 2014 who walked the stage on Saturday, June 21st. This slide show has three parts that graduates' families and friends saw at the ceremony - 1. The history of suppression and incarceration in LA that the students are working to change; 2. The young people who should have been at graduation who have been killed due to street or police violence; and 3. Photos of the graduates!!!
In 2007, the YJC established FREE LA High School for youth ages 16 to 24 who have been pushed out of school, have disappeared from school districts, and/or who are returning home from juvenile halls, Probation camps, county jail or prison. (System-involved youth are often blocked from returning to school or even to entire school districts because of extreme school discipline policies or court convictions. This discrimination is often carried out illegally, and the YJC is also working to change laws and policies that prevent youth from attending school.)
FREE LA stands for Fight for the Revolution to Educate and Empower Los Angeles. The school supports youth to earn their high school diploma and also trains students in youth and community organizing, social change strategies, movement building and transformative justice.
Instead of a "program" for a wedding I planned and hosted for two couples who recently visited NYC to be married, I created a newsletter-type update to explain the day's activities, which included parading around the neighborhoods of Lower Manhattan to toast and celebrate Marriage Equality.

Lynched for Drinking from a White Man’s Well” By Thomas Laq.docxSHIVA101531
“Lynched for Drinking from a White Man’s Well”
By Thomas Laquer
October 11, 2018
London Review of Books, Vol. 40, No. 19
This April, the Equal Justice Initiative, a non-profit law firm in Montgomery,
Alabama, opened a new museum and a memorial in the city, with the intention, as
the Montgomery Advertiser put it, of encouraging people to remember ‘the sordid history
of slavery and lynching and try to reconcile the horrors of our past’. The Legacy Museum
documents the history of slavery, while the National Memorial for Peace and Justice
commemorates the black victims of lynching in the American South between 1877 and
1950. For almost two decades the EJI and its executive director, Bryan Stevenson, have
been fighting against the racial inequities of the American criminal justice system, and
their legal trench warfare has met with considerable success in the Supreme Court. This
legal work continues. But in 2012 the organisation decided to devote resources to a new
strategy, hoping to change the cultural narratives that sustain the injustices it had been
fighting. In 2013 it published a report called Slavery in America: The Montgomery Slave
Trade, followed two years later by the first of three reports under the title Lynching in
America, which between them detailed eight hundred cases that had never been
documented before.
The United States sometimes seems to be committed to amnesia, to forgetting its
great national sin of chattel slavery and the violence, repression, endless injustices and
humiliations that have sustained racial hierarchies since emancipation. Stevenson has said
that, visiting Germany, he was struck by the number of memorials to the victims of the
Holocaust: the Stolpersteine, or ‘stumbling stones’, set in the ground in their thousands to
mark the names of the murdered in the places where they once lived; the Holocaust
Memorial near the Brandenburg Gate and its subterranean museum; the thousands of
other reminders all over the country of the evils done in the name of Germany – maps,
monuments, plaques, preserved concentration camps. Similarly, the Apartheid Museum
in South Africa bears witness to the racist system that dominated that country’s history;
monuments and plaques outside the constitutional court in Johannesburg recognise those
who suffered. There is no remotely comparable memorial culture in the United States to
the legacy of slavery.
‘Only through grappling with this difficult past can our country move in a
different direction,’ the Legacy Museum’s brochure begins. But the past is not past in
Montgomery. ‘You are standing on a site where enslaved people were warehoused,’ reads
the sign stencilled on a brick wall as you enter the museum. The first exhibit is a
2
holographic slave, about to be auctioned, who speaks to visitors from a small
underground cage. In the final exhibit holographic prisoners in orange jumpsuits sit
behind protective glass. The museum traces ...
Overview of the History of Gay Theatre in America It s.docxkarlhennesey
Overview of the History of Gay Theatre in America
It seems almost inconceivable today, with the abundance of openly gay playwrights and gay-themed plays, that less than 50 years ago a drama critic for The New York Times felt the need to call for “social and theatrical convention” to be “widened so that homosexual life may be as freely dramatized as heterosexual life, may be as frankly treated in our drama as in contemporary fiction.”
EARLY GAY PLAYWRIGHTS: Oscar Wilde, Noel Coward, Tennessee Williams, William Inge, and Edward Albee, Lanford Wilson, Robert Patrick. Doric Wilson.
Pansy Craze: By the end of the 1920s much of the public image of gay people was still limited to the various drag balls in Greenwich Village and in Harlem, but the early 1930s saw a new development within a highly commercial context, bringing the gay subculture of the enclaves of Greenwich Village and Harlem onto the mainstream stages of midtown Manhattan in a veritable Pansy Craze from 1930 until the repeal of prohibition in 1933.
Hay’s Code: After the repeal of prohibition, this tolerance waned. Any sympathetic portrayal of gay characters (termed sexual perverts) was prohibited by the Motion Picture Production Code (or Hays Code) from being included in Hollywood films. Performer Ray Bourbon was arrested many times for his act, considered tame by today's standards.

EARLY GAY PLAYWRIGHTS: Oscar Wilde, Noel Coward, Tennessee Williams, William Inge, and Edward Albee, Lanford Wilson, Robert Patrick. Doric Wilson.
At the height of the Pansy Craze in the late 1920s, Mae West penned The Drag, a “social problem” play that argued for sympathetic treatment of homosexuals. However, after out-of-town tryout runs, the play received a scandalous reception. Never making it to the Great White Way, The Drag was censored, and West was arrested. Draconian measures from City Hall, including the passage of New York City’s 1927 “padlock bill,” prohibited homosexual subject matter on the Broadway stage. A few years later, the Hays Code of 1934 banned images of homosexuality on the Hollywood screen. Consequently, censorship of gay themes in theater and film was the norm in the U.S. from the 1930s through the 1960s.
Expanding on the concept of the coffeehouse as a forum for beatnik poetry readings, Joe Cino opened his small Cornelia Street café in 1958 with the intention of creating a space where theater artists could develop their individual voices and form a community. The Caffe Cino’s locale rendered it out-of-the-way enough to feel like a private sanctuary and accessible enough for urban audiences ...

Conversion, Expulsion, Extermination: A History of Anti-Jewish Oppression – P...Warren Blumenfeld
Throughout the ages, a recurring cycle has developed against the Jewish people: from Conversion (you can’t live among us as Jews), to Expulsion (you can’t live among us), to Extermination (you can’t live). This unique PowerPoint presentation investigates the long history of anti-Jewish oppression and some of the reasons for its formation and perpetuation.
This presentation outlines the early history of the town of Amherst, Massachusetts and its controversial namesake, Jeffery Amherst who conspired to commit genocide upon indigenous peoples in the area.
Though politicians and members of their constituencies argue immigration policy from seemingly infinite perspectives and sides, one point stands clear and definite: decisions as to who can enter the United States and who can eventually gain citizenship status generally depends of issues of “race,” for U.S. immigration systems reflect and serve as the country’s official “racial” policies.
The U.S. ranks first among 230 countries for the highest rate of firearm ownership. On average, each year firearms account for approximately 11,000 homicides, another 22,000 suicides and accidental deaths, and many more injuries. In the wake of these fatalities and high-visibility mass shootings, a very contentious debate has continued in the U.S. regarding the role and future of firearms. This unique PowerPoint presentation addresses many of the concerns and suggests practical solutions.
This presentation includes the most banned and censored books in the United States between 2000 - 2020 as documented by the American Library Association's finding, and the reasons given by those who challenged these books.
An essential tenet of liberation is having the freedom to define oneself and the power over one’s own life. The presentation offers educational resources to discuss the concept of “liberation” on the personal, interpersonal, institutional, and larger societal levels.
Hegemonic Representations of Minoritized Peoples in U.S. Popular CultureWarren Blumenfeld
Throughout history, many dominant groups have represented target groups (sometimes called “minoritized” groups) in negative ways to maintain control & domination. This is expressed often through Myths, Stereotypes, Proverbs, Commentary, Literature, Jokes, Epithets, Pictorial Depictions, “Art,” Advertisements, & Other Forms. This presentation views some of those representations in popular U.S. culture.
Social Reproduction Theory and Cultural & Social CapitalWarren Blumenfeld
This presentation outlines Social Reproduction Theory, which asserts that schools reproduce the social inequities, especially in terms of socioeconomic class and race, that exist in the larger society. In addition, it addresses the concepts of social and cultural capital arguing that culture and education are central in the affirmation of differences between social classes and in the reproduction of those differences.
This presentation investigates how notion of “race” is socially constructed. It arose concurrently with the advent of European exploration as a justification and rationale for conquest and domination of the globe beginning in the 15th century of the Common Era. Therefore, “race” is an historical, “scientific,” and biological myth. It is an idea. Geneticists tell us that there is often more variability within a given so-called “race” than between “races,” and that there are no essential genetic markers linked specifically to “race.”
On the Social Construction of Homosexuality and Trans Identities as Deviancy ...Warren Blumenfeld
Rather than considering homosexuality, bisexuality, and gender diversity merely as emotional, gender, and sexual differences along a broad spectrum of human potential, some sectors of the medical, psychological, political, and religious communities force pathologizing language onto people with same-sex and both-sex attractions, and those who cross traditional constructions of gender identities and expression. This presentation investigates the history of the "medicalization" of LGBT people from without, and the struggles to reclaim the liberty of self-defining themselves from within.
Conversion, Expulsion, Extermination: A History of Anti-Jewish Oppression – P...Warren Blumenfeld

Unpacking Christian Privilege in a Nation Asserting "Religious Pluralism"Warren Blumenfeld
Christian hegemony I define as the overarching system of advantages bestowed on Christians. It is the institutionalization of a Christian norm or standard, which establishes and perpetuates the notion that all people are or should be Christian, thereby privileging Christians and Christianity, and excluding the needs, concerns, religious cultural practices, and life experiences of people who are not Christian. At times subtle and often overt, Christian hegemony is oppression by neglect, omission, erasure, and distortion, and also by design and intent. This unique slide presentation investigates the concept and realities of Christian privilege.
Based on Peggy McIntosh’s (1988) pioneering investigations of white and male privilege, we can, by analogy, understand heterosexual and cisgender privilege as constituting a seemingly invisible, unearned, and largely unacknowledged array of benefits accorded to heterosexuals and cisgender people with which they often unconsciously walk through life as if effortlessly carrying knapsacks tossed over their shoulders. This presentation examines the contents of these knapsacks.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
