This includes non- discrimination and non-bias based on sexual orientation and gender identity. A Place at the Table ● A GLAPN 11/16/2017 1 Presentation By the mid 1960s, the City of Portland had abandoned its efforts to close all the gay bars in the city limits. The bars were not well identified, but gay men and lesbians who could locate them felt relatively secure within their walls. Darcelle XV Showplace in Still, given the hostility of the city government, those who downtown Northwest Portland opened gay bars were very courageous. One of those people, Walter Cole, bought a bar in Old Town, Northwest Downtown in 1967 and welcomed a mixed but primarily lesbian clientele.

It became famous for its elaborate his life partner, the late Roxy Neuhart drag shows and remains open today as Oregon’s oldest gay bar. In addition to being iconic, the club has raised large amounts of money for local LGBTQ causes. In 2016, Guinness World Records listed Darcelle as the “oldest drag queen performer”.

    Linn County Republican Party Precinct Committee Person Manual First Edition May 2020 The Foundation Forward Credit This document was developed based on an idea put forth by the Oregon Republican Party in a document titled “The Prescient Committee Person,” dated March 2019. It is generally understood that this document was the work of Lynette Wyrick and was designed to be used in training PCPs throughout the state of Oregon. While we have retained portions of the content as well as the focus of the original document, this PCP Manual was produced specifically for Linn County Oregon. Two Versions There are two versions of this document. One is a hard copy usually in a three-ring binder and the other is a pdf version. The hard copy version is portable and good for note taking. Its down side is the need for each individual to be responsible for making updates as things change. The pdf version provides the convenience of links to documents and web sites. - i- Linn County Republican Party PCP Manual - ii - The Foundation Contents The Foundation Political Foundation of the United States . .1 Declaration of Independence . .2 US Constitution . .3 Free Market Economy . .5 Summary of Founding Principles . .6 Building a Foundation . .7 Alternative Socio-Economic Political Theories . .9 Republicans . .11 History of the Republican Party . .12 Republican Party Structure . .15 Oregon Official Political Parties . .21 Linn County Republican Party . .23 State Elected Officials . .24 Linn County Officials . .25 Local Governments . .25 Cities . .26 Education Districts . .28 Fire Districts . .31 Water Districts . .33 Other Districts . .35 Commissions & Etc.
