Donate with PayPal Celebrating 25+ years of service and positive change June 2020 - Volume 26 Issue 6 Tribute for a Life-Well-Lived Charles Thomas Grote Lavender Seniors lost another of its own on 8th April 2020. Fortunately for him and David C. Smith, his partner of 48 years, they were able to shelter-in-place together in their San Leandro home while Charles lost his long battle with bladder cancer. He was 70 years old. “Charles had two goals during the last few years,” David recalls. “He wanted to make it to three-score-and-ten – 70 – which he did with an extra month to spare. Once we knew the seriousness of his illness a couple years back, we had also targeted him making it at least to our golden – 50th – anniversary, which would have been in June 2022. Though I’m literally desolate without him, I’m happy that he reached 50 per cent of those end-of-life goals! How many of us can say we left this world batting .500?” Charles was born 7th March 1950 in Cincinnatti, Ohio. He met his “long-time companion” in 1972, when David was 38 and Charles was 22. They officially began their life together on 14 June 1972. Like any couple, David and Charles had their ups and downs over the years. One of the most harrowing incidents in their 48 years together happened when they’d been together about seven years and were still living in Mendocino County.

  • Remembering Asian Pacific American Activism in Queer History
    Published online 2016 www.nps.gov/subjects/tellingallamericansstories/lgbtqthemestudy.htm LGBTQ America: A Theme Study of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer History is a publication of the National Park Foundation and the National Park Service. We are very grateful for the generous support of the Gill Foundation, which has made this publication possible. The views and conclusions contained in the essays are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as representing the opinions or policies of the U.S. Government.

No part of this publication may be reprinted or reproduced without permission from the publishers. Links (URLs) to websites referenced in this document were accurate at the time of publication. INCLUSIVE STORIES Although scholars of LGBTQ history have generally been inclusive of women, the working classes, and gender-nonconforming people, the narrative that is found in mainstream media and that many people think of when they think of LGBTQ history is overwhelmingly white, middle-class, male, and has been focused on urban communities. While these are important histories, they do not present a full picture of LGBTQ history. To include other communities, we asked the authors to look beyond the more well-known stories. Inclusion within each chapter, however, isn’t enough to describe the geographic, economic, legal, and other cultural factors that shaped these diverse histories. Therefore, we commissioned chapters providing broad historical contexts for two spirit, transgender, Latino/a, African American Pacific Islander, and bisexual communities.

Lyon died on the morning of Thursday, April, 9 of natural causes. Lyon was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on November 10, 1924. After earning a degree in journalism from the University of California, Berkeley, she worked as a reporter and journalist for several years. In 1950, she met Del Martin and the two became partners a few years later. In 1955, the couple moved to a Castro Street apartment and, with three other lesbian couples, helped to found the Daughters of Bilitis, which was the first lesbian civil and political rights organization in the U.S. After moving to Noe Valley, they began publication of The Ladder in 1956. It was the first nationally distributed lesbian publication in the country, and continued until 1972. In 1964, Lyon and Martin helped found the Council on Religion and the Homosexual with Glide Memorial Methodist Church. This was the first U.S. group to use the word "homosexual" in its name.

  • Media, Memory and Harvey Milk Aspires to Be a Contribution Toward a More Comprehensive History of the Memory of Milk
    COMMUNICATING LEGACY: MEDIA, MEMORY AND HARVEY MILK A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Heidi A. Mau May 2017 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Carolyn Kitch, Advisory Chair, Department of Journalism, Temple University Dr. Chris Cagle, Department of Film and Media Arts, Temple University Dr. Andrew Mendelson, CUNY Graduate School of Journalism Dr. Edward Alwood, External Member, Philip Merrill College of Journalism, University of Maryland ii © Copyright 2017 by Heidi A. Mau All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Communicating Legacy: Media, Memory, and Harvey Milk examines publicly available media, artifacts and events in service of remembering Harvey Milk, who in 1977 became the first openly gay man elected to public office in California. Although he addressed issues of a diverse constituency, Milk is often remembered for demanding gay rights, his co-authorship of the San Francisco’s Human Rights Ordinance, and a successful campaign against the passage of Proposition 6 in 1978, a state proposition to prohibit gay men and lesbian women from working in public schools. His political career ended weeks later, when Milk was assassinated, along with San Francisco Mayor George Moscone, by former city supervisor and colleague Dan White. Forms of public and popular media addressing the remembrance of Milk and communicating his legacy include: journalism, books, documentary and fiction film, public art, theatrical and musical performances, memorials, commemorations, public history exhibitions, as well as types of legacy-naming. I term this media material media memoria – material in service of remembering. Through a mix of textual methods (visual/narrative/discourse), fieldwork (participant observation, interviewing) and archival/historical research methods, I examine how Milk media memoria create representations and narratives of Harvey Milk.
