RACE, GENDER,

AND SEXUALITY

INFORMATION GUIDE

An Overview of the National Centers on Sexuality The National Centers on Sexuality consist of the National Sexuality Resource Center (NSRC), the Center for Research on Gender and Sexuality (CRGS) and the Sexuality Studies Department at San Francisco State University (SXS).

National Sexuality Resource Center (NSRC)

The goal of the National Sexuality Resource Center is to increase sexual literacy by providing training, articles on sexuality research and community work, as well as resources on sexual health, education and rights. NSRC also works to counter negative representations and distortions of sexuality by providing accurate, evidence-based information for academics, advocates, and the public.

Center for Research on Gender and Sexuality (CRGS)

The Center for Research on Gender and Sexuality (CRGS) is an interdisciplinary community of San Francisco State University faculty, students, and staff dedicated to generating innovative social science research questions, methods, and theories, and training new investigators. Working in collaboration with community organizations and social movements, the CRGS is committed to producing new and useful knowledge about sexuality and gender. Our goal is to promote social justice and well-being by recognizing and challenging how inequalities undermine healthy sexuality.

Sexuality Studies at San Francisco State University (SXS)

The mission of the Department of Sexuality Studies is to "advance multidisciplinary teaching, research, and advocacy in sexuality studies, sexual literacy, well being and social justice." We provide students with knowledge about processes and variations in sexual cultures, sexual identity and gender role formation, and the social, cultural, historical, and ethical foundations of sexuality, intimate relationships, and sexual health. SFSU's broad-based multidisciplinary program in sexuality study is uniquely suited to provide leadership in sexuality research training in California, with a history of 35 years of undergraduate teaching, strong general education representation in the university curriculum, and knowledge that spans the arts, sciences, and humanities. In 2001, the program officially initiated a new "Master of Arts Department of Sexuality Studies," the first of its kind in the state, and perhaps the only MA specifically dedicated to "sexuality studies" in a public accredited university in the US.

June, 22 2009

On behalf of the National Sexuality Resource Center, I would like to welcome you to the 8th Annual Summer Institute. We are thrilled that you have decided to join us this summer and hope that your time spent at NSRC, SF State, and in San Francisco provides you valuable academic, professional, and personal experiences that you will remember fondly for many years to come. We are committed to providing a high-quality academic experience in a safe and nurturing environment in which we shall all actively engage in sharing and learning to not only increase sexual literacy in our work but in our personal lives as well.

The Summer Institute is only one of many activities of the NSRC through which we are committed to advancing sexual literacy for all Americans by promoting sexual health and wellbeing through lifelong sexual learning, happiness, and pleasure. It is our belief that it is a fundamental human right for every individual to express their sexuality and live their sexual lives according to their personal values, belief systems, desires, and relationships. As you embark on this journey, I encourage you to consider how your own work could influence and propagate this concept of sexual literacy in the lives of your peers, family members, friends, students, clients, and others.

I look forward to meeting each of you this summer. Have a great time in your courses and while exploring our beautiful city.

Welcome to the 2009 NSRC Summer Institute!

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to this year’s Summer Institute on Race, Gender, and Sexuality in the United States. The theme for this summer was chosen based on previous participants’ feedback as well as in response to some of the discussions and controversies that have arisen due to current issues in recent months. The election of our nation’s first Black President and the hateful, racist rhetoric during the campaigns as well as the mudslinging, name calling, and blaming following the passage of Proposition 8 in California are but two examples of issues we as a society and culture face with regard to race, gender, and sexuality.

The faculty and staff at the National Sexuality Resource Center and San Francisco State University are committed to providing a forum for facing challenging issues about race and ethnicity and how they relate to policy, research, culture, and social movements in the United States. At times, we anticipate that this may be difficult to do, but we believe that we can only begin to face what may be some of the greatest challenges of our times through honest, thoughtful, respectful, and genuine conversations. I hope you have come prepared for some hard work, some barrier breaking, and to begin a search for some common ground. We will hear some insightful voices such as Cathy Cohen, Héctor Carrillo, Lisa Diamond, and Jessica Fields on these issues as well as work with the many creative, committed, and passionate teachers, students, and colleagues who are joining us this summer.

In addition to your classroom activities, we have arranged for a number of other educational and recreational events in which you are invited to participate including sexual history tours, the Frameline Gay and Lesbian International Film Festival, and the annual San Francisco Gay Pride celebration and events. We hope that you enjoy your time in our beautiful city and that you are safe, curious, adventurous, and most of all that you have a fabulous time!

Best Wishes and Good Luck!

Christopher White, PhD Director, 2009 NSRC Summer Institute

3 SUMMER INSTITUTE TRACK OVERVIEWS & SEMINAR POLICIES

TEACHGING SEX TRACK LISA M. VALLIN, M.A. Weeks I-IV, June 22-July 17, 2009 [email protected] The Teaching Sex Track is designed for students interested in sexuality education. Every Tuesday and Thursday will be divided into three sessions, a core lecture series in the morning to be attended by all SI participants, followed by the course ‘Teaching Sex: Pedagogies of Sexuality Education’, and concluding in the afternoon with a working group where students will prepare their final projects. The core lecture series is Monday-Thursday. Teaching Sex participants will explore the background and history of sexuality education in the United States, deconstruct current sexuality education models, and learn how to incorporate sexual literacy into their work as sexuality educators. Participants in the Teaching Sex Track will also take elective courses with other Summer Institute participants on Monday and Wednesday afternoons. Teaching Sex participants will complete a sexuality education curriculum as part of their final project and present their work along with other Summer Institute participants at the end of the course.

REQUIREMENTS Following are the expectations for Teaching Sex participants: • Attend and participate in Core Lectures, Teaching Sex Lectures, and Group Work Sessions; • With support from the Teaching Sex leader, complete the Sexuality Education Teaching Experience, a sexuality education curriculum, in the course of the four-week Summer Institute; • Present final project to group on the last day of the Summer Institute (Thursday July 16th); • Submit a short descriptive and reflexive paper describing the process and final product for the Summer Institute Project.

These projects are your primary task for the Summer Institute. They should advance your work as a sexuality educator, researcher or advocate. You will be placed into working groups where you will develop an interactive sexuality education curriculum. On the last day of the Summer Institute, groups will present their final products along with an explanation of the process for developing the project. Finally, each individual will submit a short (5-10 page) paper that describes the research, planning, and execution of the project and includes a self-reflexive section describing your personal experience and emotions throughout this process.

SERVICE LEARNING TRACK CHRISTOPHER WHITE Ph.D. Weeks I-IV, July 22-July 17, 2009 [email protected] The Service Learning Track is designed for students to work with local community based organizations (CBOs) around sexuality activism and advocacy. Every Tuesday and Thursday, after the core course in the morning, participants will intern at their respective organizations. Internships will vary depending on the CBO a participant is working with. The core lecture series is Monday-Thursday. Some participants may be working with in developing a sexual health workshop for youth, while others may be evaluating and creating new programming for the San Francisco LGBT Center. Participants in the Service Learning Track will also take elective courses with other Summer Institute participants on Monday and Wednesday afternoons. Service Learning Track participants will complete the project with their organization as part of their final project and present their work along with other Summer Institute participants at the end of the course.

REQUIREMENTS Following are the expectations for Service Learning participants: • Attend and participate in Core Lectures, Internship projects, and Group Work Sessions; • With support from the Service Learning leader, complete the internship and organizational project in the course of the four-week Summer Institute;

4 • Present final project to group on the last day of the Summer Institute (Thursday July 16th); • Submit a short descriptive and reflexive paper describing the process and final product for the Summer Institute Project.

These projects are your primary task for the Summer Institute. They should advance your work as a sexuality educator, researcher or advocate. You will be placed as interns in organizations where you will work on sexuality related projects. On the last day of the Summer Institute, you will present your final projects along with an explanation of the process for developing the project. Finally, each individual will submit a short (5-10 page) paper that describes the research, planning, and execution of the project and includes a self-reflexive section describing your personal experience and emotions throughout this process.

GRADUATE TRACK AMY SUEYOSHI Ph.D. Weeks I-IV, June 22-July 17, 2009 [email protected] The Graduate Track is designed for graduate students and professionals with advanced sexuality training. Every Tuesday and Thursday, after the core course in the morning, participants will have additional class time with the featured speakers to discuss research. Graduate Track participants will also take courses on theories of sexuality, as well as take part in a research working group. The core lecture series is Monday-Thursday. The purpose of the graduate research work group is for participants to engage with their own research projects and receive peer feedback. Participants will also take elective courses on Monday and Wednesday afternoons with other Summer Institute participants. Graduate Track participants will complete their seminar projects and present their work along with other Summer Institute Participants at the end of the course. Through successful completion of the Graduate Track, participants will • Advance their work on an independent project in sexuality research; • Understand fundamental issues in sexuality theory and research design; • Gain writing strategies integral to disseminating sexuality research to a range of audiences; and • Appreciate the value and challenges of sharing work-in-progress with a community of sexuality researchers.

REQUIREMENTS Following are the expectations for Graduate Track participants: • Attend and participate in Core Lectures, Graduate Research Lectures, and Work Groups; • With support from the Graduate Track leader, identify a feasible and ambitious written project in sexuality studies to complete in the course of the four-week Summer Institute; • Provide critical and supportive feedback on peers’ work in progress in the working groups; • Present own work twice in the working groups with the aim of receiving peers’ feedback; and • Submit a clearly defined, independent sexuality studies project that satisfies the feasible and ambitious goals you established with the Graduate Track leader at the outset of the Institute.

These projects are your primary task for the Summer Institute. They should advance your work as a sexuality researcher, advocate or educator. You might, for example, draft a dissertation proposal; revise a funding proposal; prepare a series of workshops; compose a literature review; consider issues in study design; or wrestle with a theoretical issue that is central to your work. The particular form your project takes will depend on your goals. The requirements are simply that you pursue and ambitious and feasible project, as stated above, that you do so in consultation with the Graduate Track Leader, and that the work you submit reflects insights you’ve gained through the Summer Institute—lectures, check-ins, presentations, readings, and peer feedback. Your work should look different because of the time you spend in the Summer Institute. Another goal for the Graduate Track is to strengthen participants’ writing skills and habits. Thus, there will be a lot of writing together—for example, free writing in class, sharing work with one another, and revising and editing. You should take risks with your writing that might be unfamiliar to you, and you’ll find ourselves supporting one another as writers in ways that may be new. You are encouraged to talk with your classmates about your writing concerns and goals. I look forward to establishing a writing community with you.

5 COURSE POLICIES ATTENDANCE We expect participants to attend all orientations, courses, meetings, working groups, and other activities, and to arrive on time. Our time together is precious. Let’s respect the investment that everyone’s made in the success of the Institute by showing up on time and ready to work together.

One standard of academic work is that we don’t cheat or plagiarize. As the MLA Style Guide explains, [T]o plagiarize is to give the impression that you have written or thought something that you have in fact borrowed from someone else, and to do so is considered a violation of the professional responsibility to acknowledge “academic debts” ("Statement on Professional Ethics," Policy Documents and Reports, 1984 ed., Washington: AAUP, 1984, 134). The most blatant form of plagiarism is reproducing [or submitting] someone else's sentences, more or less verbatim, and presenting them as your own. Other forms including repeating another's particularly apt phrase without appropriate acknowledgement, paraphrasing someone else's argument as your own, introducing another's line of thinking as your own development of an idea, and failing to cite the source for a borrowed thesis or approach. The penalties for plagiarism can be severe, ranging from loss of respect to loss of degrees, tenure, or even employment. At all stages of research and writing, you must guard against the possibility of inadvertent plagiarism. . . . Even without considering the penalties of plagiarism, the best scholars generously acknowledge their debts to others. By doing so they not only contribute to the historiography of scholarship but also help younger scholars understand the process of research and discovery. If you have any questions about plagiarism, please let your track leader know.

SEXUALLY EXPLICIT MATERIALS Please note that some courses, films, discussions, events, and other activities (within and/or outside the Summer Institute) MAY involve sexually explicit materials, such as nudity during a film, or a discussion of sex. If you have any questions/concerns, please ask the Summer Institute Staff.

KEEPING IN TOUCH We take seriously our responsibility to help you succeed in your work this summer. We’ll see one another often throughout the summer institute, and we are happy to meet with you one-on-one as our schedules allow. You can also email with brief questions; we will check that every weekday throughout July, and we’ll respond as soon as we can.

DISABILITIES AND SPECIAL NEEDS We encourage students with disabilities who need reasonable accommodations to contact the SF State Disability Programs and Resource Center (DPRC) to facilitate the reasonable accommodations process. The DPRC is located in the Student Services Building on the main campus. Contact for DPRC: phone (voice/TTY 338-2472), email ([email protected]), and online (http://www.sfsu.edu/~dprc).

34 SPECIAL EVENTS

MONDAY JUNE 22nd

“STILL BLACK: A PORTRAIT OF BLACK TRANSMEN” nd Monday, June 22 at 7:00 PM, The Roxie Theater*

DIRECTOR: Kortney Ryan Ziegler Still Black: A Portrait of Black Transmen is brought to life by the stories of six thoughtful, eloquent and diverse transmen. Preachers, teachers, students and activists educate us simply by making their presence known. Each man brings a colorful and complex richness as he describes his relationship to himself, as well as others in his life — the cadence of his voice keeping in rhythm with how the speaker displays himself to the camera.

Director Kortney Ryan Ziegler lets the subjects’ words and personalities dictate the images and film effects, and the black images on the white background play on the fact that issues concerning gender, race and sexuality are not and cannot be discussed in black and white terms.

FILM DISCUSSION PANEL nd Monday, June 22 at 9:00 PM, The Women’s Building*

Join us after the screening for a panel and discussion on the film. Free and open to the community

WEDNESDAY JUNE 24th

“BI REQUEST: SHORT FILMS” th Wednesday, June 24 at 7:00 PM, The Roxie Theater*

This year’s Bi Request program is all about bi love, lust and passion. From playful and sexy to unrequited and avenged, from celebratory to revealing, bisexuals are falling in, out and back in love faster than you can say “hi” and “bi!”

In Shafted, fierce femmes fight for their right to keep custody of their sex toys post-break-up. The lives of three Londoners intertwine in Bus Stop. With Allison, My Love, we get to celebrate bi women’s sexuality. During Recess, the victim of biphobic domestic violence fights back. (Warning: hate crimes depicted.) Things cheer up when a

35 trio of Best Friends frolic in the countryside. Holy Water brings us the delicately crafted coming out story of a teen in Puerto Rico, while over in Los Angeles, a naval officer tries to drown her sorrows in Flotsam. For Thirteen or So Minutes, two straight guys go bi for each other. Finally, a wire-figure bisexual designs the perfect mate, in Make a Mate.

FILM DISCUSSION PANEL nd Monday, June 24 at 9:00 PM, The Women’s Building*

“STRAIGHTLACED: HOW GENDER’S GOT US ALL TIED UP” th Friday, June 26 at 6:00 PM, The Roxie Theater*

DIRECTOR: Debra Chasnoff It’s tough growing up in this culture, figuring out who you are and where (or whether) you fit in. In the typical American high school, where calling a person “gay” is the ultimate insult, it’s even more difficult for teenagers who don’t conform to the gender roles touted in mainstream movies, magazines and TV. It’s about time somebody started talking to young people about sexual diversity, tolerance and self- confidence, and the gutsy teens — queer, transgender and straight — speaking directly to the camera in this vibrant documentary do a splendid job of getting the ball rolling.

The latest peer-to-peer consciousness-raiser from local pioneer Debra Chasnoff (It’s Elementary, That’s a Family) and The Respect For All Project, Straightlaced tackles a sensitive subject with an abundance of humor, color, compassion and pop. Whether pointing out the absurdity of being perceived as gay for wearing a purple Polo shirt or the difficulty of being the lone voice in the crowd objecting to a casually homophobic putdown, these teenagers share universal dilemmas, while recognizing the power, and the cost, of peer pressure.

Marcia M. Zorrilla • New York University

For the last 15 years, I have worked as a clinical health educator/HIV counselor at the Balboa Teen Health Center, a multidisciplinary school-based health center located at Balboa High School in San Francisco.

I have balanced many roles in my long career at the clinic. As an advocate for school-based health centers, I have visited our congressional leaders in Sacramento and Washington, DC and have given testimonials about the SBHC model and have educated them on legislative bills supporting SBHCs. I also coordinated a site visit at our clinic for the Chief of State of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to see how a SBHC functions in the school community. As staff for the Balboa Youth Advisory Board (YAB), I support the work of the YAB who have created policy changes in the SFUSD health education curriculum to include minor consent rights for San Francisco public high school youth. As preceptor for over a decade, I continue to train and mentor undergraduate health education and social work students from San Francisco State University.

I received my Masters of Public Health in Community Health Education from New York University and my Bachelor of Science in Animal Science from Cornell University. I am bi-cultural/bi-lingual (English/Spanish) and a Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES). I attended the Summer Institute on Sexuality, Society and Health, Rethinking Young People’s Sexuality and Reproductive Health, in 2006.

I enjoy dancing Ballet Folklorico (Mexican dance) and being with my family (husband, three children, and a Boxer named Molly).

Gender Studies

“Enough Man” Luke Woodward 2005 61 min. USA

Documentary meets explicit sexuality in Luke Woodward's groundbreaking debut video about body image, relationships, sex and sexuality from the perspective of nine female-to-male (FTM) transmen and their partners. Featuring health educators, college students, sex workers, activists and artists, Enough Man navigates the terrain between objectivity and personal identity, allowing viewers into some of the most personal and rarely discussed areas of transgender life.

“FtF: Female to Femme” Elizabeth Stark & Kami Chisholm 2006 48 min. USA

FtF: Female to Femme imagines a world in which the journey toward femme was understood to be as radical as journeys to claim and inhabit other queer bodies. Envisioning more than it documents, this documentary celebrates dyke femme identities, combining farce and seduction with analysis and personal history. For years, femmes have forged community and created space for themselves out of edgy performance and authentic parody. FtF recognizes these strategies and builds them into an unforgettable sexy, funny and moving film. Bursts of queer burlesque amplify the idea of a femme drag. A satire of a femme transition support group uses humor to disarm viewers (as it did its participants), finally stripping away layers of performance to arrive at a raw recognition of femme tactics of self-conceptualization. Interviews feature a host of fabulous femmes, including actress/ writer Guinivere Turner, novelist/activist Jewelle Gomez, poet Meliza Bañales, rock stars Leslie Mah (Tribe8) and Bitch (Bitch & Animal), professors, activists, artists and dancers. The filmmakers ask these brilliant thinkers and performers to use the language of gender transition to talk about femme identity, opening up new possibilities for understanding femininity while reinforcing connections among gender warriors around the world.

“Framing Lesbian Fashion” Karen Everett 1992 60 min. USA

“Harsh Beauty” Alessandra Zeka 2005 54 min. India Hindi and Tamil w/ English subtitles Existing as they have for centuries, the Eunuchs (or Hijra) are considered the third gender, neither men nor women. Harsh Beauty follows over a period of 3 years the lives of Jyothi, Usha and hira bai, three Eunuchs who live openly as women, and want to be accepted as their true selves. This one hour documentary uses a verite approach, creating intimate and personal accounts of their lives, without presenting an anthropological perspective. Set against the vibrant energy of the Indian metropolis, Harsh Beauty takes a glance into a society rarely seen and often misunderstood.

“transparent” Jules Rosskam 2005 61 min. USA

Pink or blue. Male or Female. Mommy or Daddy. Categories that we all take for granted are broken apart in transparent, a documentary about 19 female-to-male transsexuals living in the United States who have given birth and, in all but a few stories, gone on to raise their biological children. transparent focuses on its subjects' lives as parents, revealing the diverse ways in which each person reconciles giving birth and being a biological mother with his masculine identity. Traditional views of gender are further re-examined through the variety of genders the children use to conceive of their parents. The first-person stories in transparent explain how changing genders is dealt with and impacts the relationships, if at all, within these families. This film has a shocking façade - as a story about transsexual parents, but the subjects resonate powerfully as typical parents and as human beings dealing with issues like single parenthood, teen pregnancy and their children's emotional and physical development. Through these extraordinary men, the film challenges the ways that people relate to one another, particularly within our immediate families, based on gender.

“Transshorts” Various Directors 69 min. 1991-2003 Australia/Spain/USA

“4 More: Out in Africa Workshop Films” Various Directors 2005 57 min. South Africa

Enraged by a Picture Zanele Muholi 14min An exhibition that causes a stir and provokes an outcry on a subject that is particularly taboo: being black and being a lesbian. Outlaw Culture Phybia Dlamini 15 min This documentary accuses South Africa’s media of repeatedly and consciously delivering gay issues and stories in a negative fashion and explores instances in which media has shaped events involving LGBT issues.

“Gay Cuba (Directors Cut)” Sonja de Vries 1995 57 min. USA / Cuba

The 1959 revolution which gave Cuba its independence ushered in a new era of equality, blind to race and to gender -- but not to sexual orientation. Military necessity and contemporary Stalinist ideology served only to reinforce long-held stereotypes detrimental to the integration of homosexuals into Cuba’s perpetually reforming social structure. Gay Cuba documents the promising changes which are beginning to take hold. In contrast with the history of random arrests of bar patrons and the forced quarantine of HIV positive citizens, the interviews which form the core of the film show that the changes in party policy and the opening of channels for the discussion and celebration of differences in sexual identity have allowed gay Cubans today to lead much more open lives. In fact, the liberal views expressed in street interviews and the contrast drawn to the repression practiced in other parts of Latin America attest to the ability of the on-going revolutionary efforts to make a very real and very positve change. Gay Cuba casts a colorful and hopeful light on efforts to reform and to humanize a society often maligned for its calcified rigidity.

“Almost There” Joelle Alexis & Sigal Yehuda 2003 52 min. Greece

Almost There is the story of a lesbian couple's move away from Israel and the problems they wish to leave behind. Joelle lived in Tel-Aviv for eleven years but tired of this city wrapped in violence. Sigal, hiding her true sexual identity from her family, needs to distance herself to be able to have a more complete life with her partner. Together they travel through Greece in search of a new home. The couple tape each other throughout their travels, producing a video diary, each expressing her feelings as she

51 observes the other. Their unfurling journey pushes them to question the very heart of their search; essential dilemmas such as: "Where do I belong?" "What is home?" and "How can we be part of our families when we are different from them?"

“Byron Chief-Moon: Grey Horse Rider (plus Butte) Marlene Millar & Philip Szporer 2007 48 min. Canada

Father of three, successful TV actor and artist and proud member of the First Nations two-spirited gay community, Byron Chief-Moon is a fascinating mesh of dynamic personae. But when he dances alone in the forest, the complexity of the real world washes away, and we can see his spiritual self take hold. Interviews combine with mesmerizing footage of his performances to capture the essence of this cutting- edge artist who founded the Coyote Arts Percussive Performance Association. By melding the history and art of his Canadian Blackfoot Confederacy tribe with issues of contemporary life, Chief-Moon's work makes profound statements about identity and tradition. (Synopsis by Brendan Peterson)

“Krudas” Opie Boero Imwinkelried 2006 29 min. Cuba Spanish w/English subtitles Krudas explores the lives and work of a Cuban lesbian couple who are hip hop singers and performers. The duo Krudas addresses issues such as women's liberation, lesbian rights, female solidarity and racism. Their work is deeply engaged with feminism and strong ties to their African roots. Their songs represent an effort to upset semantics and syntax. Krudas conceive language itself as the root of female exclusion and thus summons men to engage in dialogue refusing to engage in any hierarchical structures. Krudas emphasize on the use of the first person—one will hear the repetition of the first person “yo” (I) often followed by their own names to further personalize their discourse. Krudas’ first person extends beyond mere autobiographical narrative; their “I” is an attempt to formulate a double subjectivity, what philosopher Luce Irigaray calls “I-she” (“Je-elle”) and “I-he” (“Je-il”). In addition to leading the hip hop duo and the street performance group Tropazancos, Krudas have also organized a network of female hip hop artists, Omega, to unite women in the hip hop and alternative music scenes. Omega’s goal is to join forces in order to generate larger projects, including all-female collective performances, recordings, and workshops.

“Love Man Love Woman” Nguyen Trinh Thi 2007 53 min. Vietnam Vietnamese w/English subtitles

In this documentary, the filmmaker follows Master Luu Ngoc Duc, one of the most prominent spirit mediums in Hanoi, and his vibrant community through their rituals and everyday life. The film explores how effeminate and gay men in homophobic Vietnam have traditionally found community and expression in the country’s popular Mother Goddess Religion, Dao Mau.

“Milind Soman Made Me Gay” Harjant Gill 2007 27min. USA

In 1995, the Indian Government charged Bollywood superstar Milind Soman with 'obscenity' for appearing nude in a shoe advertisement. Under the rhetoric of preserving nation's morality, these charges were carried-out using old colonial laws that are still evoked to restrict desire and persecute homosexuality in India today. Milind Soman Made Me Gay is a conceptual documentary about desire and notions of 'home' and 'belonging'. The film employs a unique mix of visual elements along with voice over narration to juxtapose memories of the filmmaker's past against stories of three gay South Asian men living in the diaspora. Overshadowing these nostalgic explorations of life 'back home,' are harsh realities of homophobia and racism in America and an on-going struggle to find a place of belonging.

52 “Tongues Untied” Marlon T. Riggs 1989 55 min. USA

This is the acclaimed account of Black gay life by Emmy Award-winning director Marlon T. Riggs. Using poetry, personal testimony, rap and performance (featuring poet Essex Hemphill and others), Tongues Untied describes the homophobia and racism that confront Black gay men. The stories are fierce examples of homophobia and racism: the man refused entry to a gay bar because of his color; the college student left bleeding on the sidewalk after a gay-bashing; the loneliness and isolation of the drag queen. Yet they also affirm the black gay male experience: protest marches, smoky bars, "snap diva", humorous “musicology” and Vogue dancers.

LGBT Activism/History:

“And the March Continues!” Guadalupe Olvera San Miguel 1997 30 min. Mexico

And the March Continues! combines documentary and narrative forms to present a history of the lesbian movement in Mexico from its origins to the present. Testimonies from Mexican lesbians and movement leaders give impressions of daily life in their country. A dramatized encounter between Frida Kahlo, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz (acclaimed 17th Century Mexican poet) and modern day Mexican revolutionary, Adelita, is a humorous but poignant acknowledgement of the historical and cultural impact made by these and other Mexican lesbians.

“Changing Our Minds: The Story of Dr. Evelyn Hooker” Richard Schmiechen 1991 75 min. USA

Academy Award winning director Richard Schmiechen (The Times of Harvey Milk) vividly portrays the life and work of the woman described by the Los Angeles Times as "The Rosa Parks of Gay Rights" in Changing Our Minds: The Story of Dr. Evelyn Hooker. During the repressive 1950's, Dr. Evelyn Hooker undertook ground breaking research that led to a radical discovery: homosexuals were not, by definition, "sick." Dr. Hooker's finding sent shock waves through the psychiatric community and culminated in a major victory for gay rights -- in 1974 the weight of her studies, along with gay activism, forced the American Psychiatric Association to remove homosexuality from its official manual of mental disorders. Startling archival footage of the medical procedure used to "cure" homosexuality, images from the underground gay world of the McCarthy era and home movies of literary icon Christopher Isherwood bring to life history which we must never forget. Dr. Hooker's insights into gay marriage and the gay community (a term she coined), and the filmmakers' winning approach make this documentary education at its most exciting and enjoyable.

“Screaming Queens: The Riot at Compton's Cafeteria” Victor Silverman & Susan Stryker 2005 57 min. USA

EMMY® Award-winning Screaming Queens tells the little-known story of the first known act of collective, violent resistance to the social oppression of queer people in the United States — a 1966 riot in San Francisco’s impoverished Tenderloin neighborhood, three years before the famous gay riot at New York’s Stonewall Inn. Screaming Queens introduces viewers to street queens, cops and activist civil rights ministers who recall the riot and paint a vivid portrait of the wild transgender scene in 1960s San Francisco. Integrating the riot’s story into the broader fabric of American life, the documentary connects the event to urban renewal, anti-war activism, civil rights and sexual liberation. With enticing archival footage and period music, this unknown story is dramatically brought back to life.

However, Darcy's first few movie dates with Caroline leave her more confused than ever and she is left wondering why Caroline keeps running away quickly after each date.

Bikini, See “Genderbender Volume 1” Two-Spirit People Michel Beauchemin, Lori Levy & Gretchen Vogel 1991 20 min. USA Two-Spirit People explores the berdache or "two-spirit" tradition in many Native American cultures, in which individuals who embody feminine and masculine qualities are understood as a third gender, beyond man and woman. In many communities, two-spirit people act as a conduit between the physical and spiritual world and because of these unique abilities, are often placed in positions of power within the community. Told through powerful personal testimony, archival photos, and clips from Hollywood Westerns, this ground-breaking documentary – one of the first cultural works to revive the term "two-spirit" – offers a unique overview of historical and contemporary Native American concepts of gender, sexuality and sexual orientation

“Queer Geography: Mapping Our Identities” Rachel Bolden-Kramer & Theresa Hernandez 2001 12 min. USA

Co-produced by two high school students, Queer Geography is a short documentary which explores the lives of four queer youth, ages 16-20. The video examines sexual orientation, coming out, family life and dealing with being "out" in school. What sets Queer Geography apart from most videos dealing with queer youth, is that its protagonists are not "role models" armed with grand accomplishments designed to illicit sympathy, and intended to compensate for their sexuality. The lives of the youth in this video are complicated by a multitude of oppressions, namely racism and a juvenile justice system with the potential

56 to keep young people in a cycle of incarceration. On a more hopeful note, Queer Geography also addresses how community organizations play a role in the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth today. It stresses the importance of adult and institutional support and how this support may help combat alienation and violence faced by gay youth. In addition, Queer Geography identifies the presence of homophobia and heterosexism in our society and its statistical and personal effects on the lives of queer youth.

“Surviving Friendly Fire” Todd Nelson 2000 60 min. USA

There are 1.4 million homeless youths on the streets of America; ten thousand of these youths live on the streets of Hollywood. They are runaways, some are “throwaways,” abandoned or forcefully exiled from their families’ homes. The average age of these youths is fifteen. About a third of them are gay, lesbian or transgender. In their survival these young people endure familial abuse, suicide attempts, drugs and alcohol, prostitution, and life on the streets. In 1992, seventy homeless youths -- of various racial, cultural and sexual identities -- registered for a theatre project in the Hollywood shelter where they lived. Through this project they were encouraged to share their stories. Over a period of seven months these stories were shaped into monologues, scenes and songs. Of the original seventy, ten completed the project and became performers, playing the roles from each other’s lives. In 1993, their play, Friendly Fire, was the centerpiece of the prestigious Los Angeles Festival before it toured to high acclaim in high schools throughout the city.

“Equality U” Dave O'Brien 2008 90 min. USA

Equality U is a feature-length documentary following a group of 33 young activists on the Soulforce Equality Ride, a first of its kind, two-month, cross-country tour to confront anti-gay discrimination policies at 19 conservative religious and military colleges. It is a story of a group of young people struggling to stand up for what they believe is right. Against the backdrop of the Equality Ride, the film focuses on seven of the 'Equality Riders' and two courageous students they encounter along their journey. And while most of the young Riders identify as Christian, not all of them do so in the same way, if at all. At each stop, the Riders exercise 'relentless non-violent resistance' and often face arrest for trespassing. They must confront the controversial question: 'Do schools ultimately have the right to decide who does and doesn't belong?' But even in the most seemingly unwelcoming campuses, the Riders find straight students who are interested in a dialogue.Can this small group of activists sow the seeds of dialogue as their bus rolls down the highway? How will the road change them? For the Riders that identify as both Queer and Christian, how will the journey challenge or transform their faith? And what happens to the outed gay students they encounter and then leave behind?

61 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES*

The San Francisco Fire Department has approved an “evacuation” plan for Westfield Centre. Emergency Procedures should be conducted in a manner that allows for a quick evacuation of occupants on or near a floor threatened by fire or other danger, and keeps the stairwells clear for responding fire fighting personnel/operations.

In a fire situation, evacuation of the affected floor will begin immediately. Prior to the arrival of the San Francisco Fire Department, evacuation shall be conducted under the direction of the Fire Safety Director. The ultimate decision to evacuate part or all of the building rests with the San Francisco Fire Department who has absolute authority upon arriving at the scene.

In the event of an explosion, earthquake or other emergency, the authority to order an evacuation under any of these circumstances rests with the Fire Safety Director, pending the arrival of the San Francisco Fire Department or other appropriate Civil Authority.

During an emergency, all occupants of Westfield Centre have a responsibility to themselves, as well as to others, to remain calm, to follow instructions given by the fir department or centre personnel, and to relocate in an orderly fashion.

Should evacuation be required, REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING: 1. Floor Wardens should identify themselves, i.e., armbands or safety vests. 2. Do not panic. Remain calm and walk, DO NOT RUN. 3. Never use the elevators for either a full or partial evacuation. 4. When safe to do so, close all doors as you exit to help contain the fire. 5. Always feel the door before you open it. Use the back of your hand and check the entire length of the door. If the door is hot, do not open it since heat indicates the proximity of the fire. Use another means of exit. 6. When exiting into the stairwell, stay to the right. Be prepared to allow room for fire fighters on their way up to the fire floor. ALWAYS hold onto the stairwell railing as you exit. 7. If necessary, remove high-heeled shoes and carry them down with you. You will need them as you exit if there is broken glass or debris. 8. Disabled/mobility impaired people should be assisted to the stairwell vestibule. Do not attempt to relocate them yourself. The Fire Department is trained to safely remove disabled individuals and will assist in their evacuation. Floor Wardens must advise the fire department of the location of these individuals. Have a "buddy" system and arrange for someone to stay with the individual until the fire department arrives to assist. 9. In the event of a full evacuation, keep clear of the building. Stay away from traffic areas and watch for emergency vehicles. Proceed to the evacuation area, as predetermined by your company, and report to your Floor Warden. The Floor Warden is the designated individual who is to relay any information to the fire department.

Remember the acronym, RACE for the correct priority of procedures to follow in a serious incident: RESCUE: Or evacuate anyone in immediate danger. ALARM: Report the fire. CONTAIN: Close all doors, confine the fire to its immediate area. EXTINGUISH: If safe to do so, attempt to put out the fire or prevent its spread by proper use of fire extinguishing equipment. Minor Fires Emergency Procedures have been established to inform you of your responsibilities and your best opportunities for escaping without injuries. Minor fires, which you can extinguish without leaving the area of the fire, must be reported immediately to the Westfield Centre Management at (415) 512-6776.

Fire Prevention Tips • Be familiar with the Emergency Procedures!

62 • Keep permitted electrical appliances and electrical cords in good repair at all times. • DO NOT overload electrical circuits. • Practice “Good Housekeeping!” Do not accumulate discarded files or shredded paper or other paper trash, do not allow doors to be blocked open and do not store materials within 18” of the ceiling. • Store flammable or combustible materials of any type in proper airtight containers. Any oily cloths used should be stored in approved closed metal containers. REMEMBER: In compliance with local ordinances, NO smoking is allowed within the building, including stairwells, restrooms and tenant spaces.

EARTHQUAKES Many of the injuries during an earthquake result from falling objects. Plan NOW to minimize injury and damage. Look around your work areas and consider if bookshelves and file cabinets are secured. Are the objects in or on the cabinets/shelves heavy; have they been secured? Where are the best places to duck and cover?

DURING AN EARTHQUAKE Take cover by ducking under a solid desk/table or brace yourself in a structural doorway. Move away from interior glass or exterior windows, and stay away from shelving! Should you seek safety in a doorway, be mindful that the door may “swing” into you.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER AN EARTHQUAKE • Be prepared for aftershocks and remain calm. Turn on your radio for information. • Check for injuries and administer first aid. • Check for fire hazards, i.e. electrical appliances. • Listen for instructions over the PA system. • Immediately clean-up spills, such as flammable liquids or other harmful materials. • Do NOT open closet or storage doors too quickly; objects may have fallen from shelves. • Do NOT turn on electrical switches of any kind or touch dangling wires. • Do NOT allow open flames of any kind, i.e., smoking or candles. • Do NOT flush toilets.
