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.

Women and Equality
WOMEN AND EQUALITY A California Review of Women’s Equity Issues in Civil Rights, Education and the Workplace California Senate Office of Research February 1999 Dedicated to Senator Rose Ann Vuich Rose Ann Vuich was elected California’s first woman state senator in 1976 and served four terms through 1992. Although a Democrat by registration, she built a reputation as a political independent who shunned deal-making. Throughout her legislative career, Senator Vuich represented her San Joaquin Valley district first and foremost and relied on her own knowledge and judgment to do it. She was reared on a farm in Tulare County, where she has spent most of her life. With a degree in accounting from the Central California Commercial College in Fresno, she worked as an accountant, tax consultant, estate planner and office manager before her election. After becoming a senator she continued, with her brother, to manage the family farm in Dinuba. The California State Senate began to change after Senator Vuich joined its ranks, followed over the years by other women. She kept a small porcelain bell on her Senate floor desk, and would gently but insistently shake it whenever a colleague addressed the “gentlemen of the Senate.” The Senate chamber originally had no women’s restroom. But that oversight permitted Senator Vuich, during a Capitol restoration in the late 1970s, to design a comfortable “Rose Room” where she and women members into the future could retreat from the Senate floor. A daughter of Yugoslav immigrants, Senator Vuich achieved many “firsts,” from serving as the first woman president of the Dinuba Chamber of Commerce to becoming the first woman to preside over a Senate floor session in 1986.

Given Philadelphia’s own history of racially discriminatory policing, it was expected and appropriate that such protests would happen here as well.

February 2019 We Are Not Invisible: New
February 2019 We Are Not Invisible: New Exhibition Celebrates Survival and Resilience of Two-Spirit Community by J. Miko Thomas Two Spirit can be defined as an umbrella term for LGBTQ Native Americans — a pan-Indian term coined in the 1990s for use across the various languages of indigenous communities. Many tribal nations also give Two-Spirit people specific names and roles in their own cultures. A new exhibition that opened January 31 at the GLBT Historical Society Museum celebrates the survival and resilience of Two Spirits. “Two-Spirit Voices: Returning to the Circle” marks the 20th anniversary of Bay Area American Indian Two Spirits. BAAITS is an organization committed to activism and service for Two-Spirit people and their allies in the San Francisco Bay Area. It grew from the indigenous urban community out of a necessity to build spaces for queer Natives. It was inspired by Gay American Indians, founded in 1975, and the International Two-Spirit Gatherings held annually in the U.S. and Canada. The exhibition is co-curated by Roger Kuhn, Amelia Vigil and Ruth Villaseñor. Kuhn is a former chair of BAAITS and a member of the Porch Band of Creek Indians. Vigil is a Two-Spirit and Latinx performance artist and poet who currently chairs BAAITS. Villaseñor is a Chiricahua-Apache Mexican woman who identifies as Two Spirit; she serves on the board of BAAITs. Roger Kuhn responded to questions from History Happens. What impact has BAAITS had in the Two-Spirit, LGBTQ and native communities? For 20 years BAAITS has worked to recover and restore the role of Two- Spirit people in American Indian and First Nations communities.

Technological Surveillance and the Spatial Struggle of Black Lives Matter Protests
No Privacy, No Peace? Technological Surveillance and the Spatial Struggle of Black Lives Matter Protests Research Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with research distinction in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by Eyako Heh The Ohio State University April 2021 Project Advisor: Professor Joel Wainwright, Department of Geography I Abstract This paper investigates the relationship between technological surveillance and the production of space. In particular, I focus on the surveillance tools and techniques deployed at Black Lives Matter protests and argue that their implementation engenders uneven outcomes concerning mobility, space, and power. To illustrate, I investigate three specific forms and formats of technological surveillance: cell-site simulators, aerial surveillance technology, and social media monitoring tools. These tools and techniques allow police forces to transcend the spatial-temporal bounds of protests, facilitating the arrests and subsequent punishment of targeted dissidents before, during, and after physical demonstrations. Moreover, I argue that their unequal use exacerbates the social precarity experienced by the participants of demonstrations as well as the racial criminalization inherent in the policing of majority Black and Brown gatherings. Through these technological mediums, law enforcement agents are able to shape the physical and ideological dimensions of Black Lives Matter protests. I rely on interdisciplinary scholarly inquiry and the on- the-ground experiences of Black Lives Matter protestors in order to support these claims. In aggregate, I refer to this geographic phenomenon as the spatial struggle of protests. II Acknowledgements I extend my sincerest gratitude to my advisor and former professor, Joel Wainwright. Without your guidance and critical feedback, this thesis would not have been possible.

William Newsom POLITICS, LAW, and HUMAN RIGHTS
Regional Oral History Office University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California William Newsom POLITICS, LAW, AND HUMAN RIGHTS Interviews conducted by Martin Meeker in 2008-2009 Copyright © 2009 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and William Newsom, dated August 7, 2009, and Barbara Newsom, dated September 22, 2009 (by her executor), and Brennan Newsom, dated November 12, 2009. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.
