This calendar is optimized for Press. There are shortened descriptions and links to hi-rez photos for each event. The 3 main highlights of the festival are listed below.

One City One Pride ( 22 to June 30)

For the 7th Annual One City One Pride LGBTQ Arts Festival, the City of West Hollywood celebrates the 1 year anniversary of Marriage Equality in with 40 days of arts, culture, education and community, all with the theme ‘I Do.’

A year ago, the Supreme Court rendered decisions allowing for marriage equality in California and striking down the Defense of Marriage Act as unconstitutional. Hundreds of marriages were performed in the days following the decision, right outside the City of West Hollywood’s Council Chambers. In celebration of this monumental day, the theme for the 2014 One City One Pride LGBTQ Arts Festival is ‘I Do,’ a statement which represents an affirmation, a promise, a commitment, and a celebration of love.

One City One Pride runs from Day (May 22) through the end of June (June 30), featuring visual art, theatre, performance art, music, film and more. A full list of over 30 events is viewable at weho.org/pride, but just a few of the highlights that we are sure you’ll love are:

6/7-6/22 - Jay R.Lawton: Project 50

(Visual Art) Jay R. Lawton (1961-2013) was a Los Angeles-based photographer who devoted much of his work recording the Leather/Fetish/Kink community. A constant presence at leather title contests, bar events, and pride festivals, Lawton was the primary documentary recorder for the vibrant world of men and women engaged in the alternative lifestyle of sexual freedom and tribal camaraderie. Prior to his death, Lawton had finished shooting Project 50. In his memory, friends and community members raised the funds to complete his final legacy work. The Jay R. Lawton Collection is a part of the collections at ONE Archives at the USC Libraries.

In his own words: "Project 50 is an ongoing effort to photograph 50 gay men who are 50 years or older. The objective is twofold: on one level it is an effort to dispel the common impression that if you are gay and over 50 you are no longer considered desirable. This is often an internalized feeling for men over 50, so the second objective is to address this by providing these men the opportunity to confront these fears and display to themselves and to the world the unique qualities that make them attractive. These men are survivors. They were at their sexual peak during the AIDS crisis and many of them, myself included, never dreamed that they would live to see this age. This is the common thread that underlies this series of images." Presented by: ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives

One of the most popular comedic plays ever written: this time it’s gay! Two couples fight for the right to be engaged in this masterful satire written by Oscar Wilde, arrested for for "gross indecency with men" in 1895.

6/10 - Big Joy: The Adventures of James Broughton film screening

(Community)

A new documentary about embracing your passions and becoming the person of your dreams, based on the life of James Broughton, a California native who would have been 100 years old this year and a most unique voice in queer liberation. "Follow Your Own Weird" was the maxim by which James Broughton (1913-1999) lived each and every day. A pre-Beat-era poet, underground filmmaker, lover, gay man and artist who dared to live boldly and experiment wildly, Broughton is the subject of the documentary film, Big Joy: The Adventures of James Broughton. Whether as an out poet during the oppressive and anti-gay McCarthy era or as the bard of the modern gay rights movement, James' expansive life inspired thousands towards "Big Joy". Film and poetry weren't the only ways James manifested art and beauty into being. He was a charter member of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a queer service organization, giving to the community for many years as Sister Sermonetta of the Holy Phallus. James was also an early bard of the Radical Faeries, a counter-cultural movement that redefined queer identity through spirituality. In 1988, he acted as Festival's Grand Marshall. Even in times of extreme oppression, James acted openly and with joy. “There was a time when being gay was not only shunned, it was punished,” said co-director Eric Slade. “our story depicts this time period and the triumph of one who lived through and beyond such oppression.”

6/15 - June Mazer Lesbian Archives presents ‘Baby, You Are My Religion’ a reading

(Community)

Join the June Mazer Lesbian Archives for a reading by Dr. Marie Cartier from her book, Baby, You are My Religion - Women, Gay Bars, and Theology Before Stonewall.

Baby You Are My Religion argues that American butch-femme bar culture of the mid- 20th Century should be interpreted as a sacred space for its community. Before Stonewall these bars were the only place where many could have any community at all. Baby, You are My Religion explores this community as a site of a lived corporeal theology and political space. It reveals that religious institutions such as the Metropolitan Community Church were founded in such bars, that traditional and non-traditional religious activities took place there, and that religious ceremonies such as marriage were often conducted within the bars by staff.

6/21 - Behold the Bridegrooms Revisited

(Theatre/Performance)

Performance artist Jason Jenn brings to life some of award-winning filmmaker and poet James Broughton’s most love-infused and inspired poetry alongside a group of several local performing artists who will create a colorful staged reading and reinterpretation of Broughton’s luminous 1978 marriage to partner Joel Singer. The wedding text is full of poetic beauty and splendor that stands as a monument to queer love and sexual liberation. James Broughton was a California native who would have been 100 years old this year and a most unique voice in queer liberation, as well as an original member of the Radical Faeries, The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, and a pre-beat poet who was part of the San Francisco Renaissance movement. The recent documentary film “BIG JOY: The Adventures of James Broughton” has brought this important figure back into the light (There will be a screening of BIG JOY on June 10, 2014 at 8pm in the City Council Chambers as part of One City One Pride).

The presentation will include a slide show of rarely seen photographs from “Behold the Bridgegrooms: A Connubial Masque for James and Joel”, which took place on board the hundred-year old ferryboat SS Vallejo belonging to the Alan Watts Society for Comparative Philosophy. It will be an inspiring and uplifting evening testifying the astounding power of love and a look back at an underappreciated LGBTQ figure. Presented by: ReEvolutionary Productions

6/28 - Opening Reception for "The Classical Nude and the Making of Queer History"

(Visual Art)

Organized by the Leslie Lohman Museum for Gay and Lesbian Art and curated by scholar Jonathan David Katz, "The Classical Nude and the Making of Queer History" investigates the continued centrality of the classical nude over centuries of art making. The exhibition explores how images of the classical past have acted as recurring touchstones in the historical development of same-sex representation, and as such, constitute a sensitive barometer of the shifting constructions of what we today call gay and lesbian or queer culture. The classical past is thus gay culture’s central origin myth, and its representation offers far more information about the culture that appropriates the classical past then it does about that past itself. In tracing this trajectory of the classical nude across history, this show concentrates on four major periods: Antiquity, the Renaissance, the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and the modern/contemporary periods.

This exhibition at the ONE Archives Gallery & Museum is a condensed preview of a groundbreaking exhibition that will open at the Leslie Lohman Museum in New York in October 2014. Presented by: ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives
