MAKING COMMUNITY: THE PLACES AND15 SPACES OF LGBTQ COLLECTIVE IDENTITY FORMATION Christina B. Hanhardt Introduction In the summer of 2012, posters reading "MORE GRINDR=FEWER GAY BARS” appeared taped to signposts in numerous gay neighborhoods in North America—from Greenwich Village in New York City to Davie Village in Vancouver, Canada.1 The signs expressed a brewing fear: that the popularity of online lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) social media—like Grindr, which connects gay men based on proximate location—would soon replace the bricks-and-mortar institutions that had long facilitated LGBTQ community building.

  • Las Vegas Pride Names Cleve Jones Parade Grand Marshal
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Ernie Yuen Email: [email protected] Website: www.LasVegasPRIDE.org LAS VEGAS PRIDE NAMES CLEVE JONES PARADE GRAND MARSHAL August 12, 2012, Las Vegas, Nevada: Las Vegas PRIDE is proud to announce the 2012 Annual PRIDE Night Parade on September 7, 2012 will be marshaled by Cleve Jones a human rights activist and founder of the NAMES Project AIDS Quilt. "It is a great privilege and a honor to have Cleve Jones as our 2012 parade grand marshal, He is a great representative for our community and we are happy he is here to celebrate Las Vegas Pride with us." says Las Vegas PRIDE President, Ernie Yuen. Cleve’s career as an activist began in San Francisco during the turbulent 1970s when pioneer gay rights leader, Harvey Milk, befriended him. Following Milk’s election to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, Cleve worked as a student intern in Milk’s office while studying political science at San Francisco State University. Milk and San Francisco Mayor Geroge Moscone were assassinated on November 27, 1978. Following the horrible event, Cleve dropped out of school to work as a legislative consultant at the California Assembly. In 1982, Cleve returned to San Francisco to work in the district office of State Assemblyman Art Agnos. One of the first to recognize the threat of AIDS, Cleve co-founded the San Francisco AIDS Foundation in 1983. Cleve Jones conceived the idea of the AIDS Memorial Quilt at a candlelight memorial for Harvey Milk in 1985. Since then, the Quilt has grown to become the world’s largest community arts project, memorializing the lives of over 80,000 people killed by AIDS.

  • BROADWAY BOUND: Mezer's Modest Proposals This Piece Comes to You Compliments of ACREL Fellow Steve Mezer of Becker & Poli
    BROADWAY BOUND: Mezer’s Modest Proposals This piece comes to you compliments of ACREL Fellow Steve Mezer of Becker & Poliakoff who has a front row view of Broadway for several reasons. He is on the Board of the Straz Performing Arts Center in Tampa that invests in and presents Broadway shows. He is also a theater aficionado who spends his free time in NYC with his wife Karen bingeing on Broadway and Off Broadway musicals. Broadway theater is a unique American cultural experience. Other cities have vibrant theater scenes, but no other American venue offers Broadway’s range of options. I recommend that you come a day early and stay a date later for our Fall meeting in New York and take in a couple of Broadway shows. I grew up 90 miles outside of New York City; Broadway was and remains a family staple. I can neither sing nor dance, but I have a great appreciation for musical theater. So here are my recommendations: Musicals: 2016 was one of Broadway’s most successful years as it presented many original works and attracted unprecedented attention with Hamilton and its record breaking (secondary market) ticket prices. October is a transition month, an exciting time to see a new Broadway show. Holiday Inn, an Irving Berlin musical, begins previews September 1, and opens on October 6 at Studio 54. Jim (played by Bryce Pinkham) leaves his farm in Connecticut and meets Linda (Laura Lee Gayer) a school teacher brimming with talent. Together they turn a farmhouse into an inn with dazzling performances to celebrate each holiday.

  • A Martyr in the Archive: the Life and Afterlife of Harvey Milk's Suit
    A Martyr in the Archive: The Life and Afterlife of Harvey Milk’s Suit Jordy Jones ‘If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door.’ (Harvey Milk, from audiotape to be played only upon the event of his assassination) What is writing? Staining sheets. While e´criture is understood as operating on a symbolic level, the physical act of mark-making is grounded in materiality. Ink on paper, cum on the bedspread and bloody clothing of all sorts share the pull of the gaze. These things, like all things, look back. The psyche, being invisible, keeps its secrets better than the body, but it too leaks, and it also peeks. The writing, the writer and the written are not so discrete. They overlap. The writer is as much a text as the written. Sudden exclamations can interrupt the most banal texts. ‘Bang!’ When Harvey Milk declared that the fatal bullet should ‘destroy every closet door,’ he was advocating a very specific course of action associated with an entirely hypothetical scenario, which, in fact, came to pass. In retrospect, the words seemed prescient, their predictive, productive, performative character lending fuel to the eventual mythologizing of the man Milk. Roland Barthes asked whether ‘for some perverts the sentence is a body?’ (1975: 51) Nearly four decades later, this question has lost much of its novelty. The sentence is, or can be, a body. The relationship between the body, the world and the word is always already technologized. The body can be a sentence, or an entire text, or an accumulation of texts.
