Today we will tell you about Harvey Milk, the first gay City Hall supervisor. He has changed many people’s lives that are gay or lesbian. People respect him because he stood up for gay and lesbian people. He is remembered for changing our country, and he is a hero to gay and lesbian people. Fifth Grade Class Slide Show When Harvey Milk was a little boy he loved to be the center of attention. Growing up, Harvey was a pretty normal boy, doing things that all boys do. Harvey was very popular in school and had many friends. However, he hid from everyone a very troubling secret. Harvey Milk was homosexual. Being gay wasn’t very easy back in those days. For an example, Harvey Milk and Joe Campbell had to keep a secret of their gay relationship for six years. Sadly, they broke up because of stress. But Harvey Milk was still looking for a spouse. Eventually, Harvey Milk met Scott Smith and fell in love. Harvey and Scott moved together to the Castro neighborhood of San Francisco, which was a haven for people who were gay, a place where they were respected more easily. Harvey and Scott opened a store called Castro Camera and lived on the top floor.

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.

LGBT History
LGBT History Just like any other marginalized group that has had to fight for acceptance and equal rights, the LGBT community has a history of events that have impacted the community. This is a collection of some of the major happenings in the LGBT community during the 20th century through today. It is broken up into three sections: Pre-Stonewall, Stonewall, and Post-Stonewall. This is because the move toward equality shifted dramatically after the Stonewall Riots. Please note this is not a comprehensive list. Pre-Stonewall 1913 Alfred Redl, head of Austrian Intelligence, committed suicide after being identified as a Russian double agent and a homosexual. His widely-published arrest gave birth to the notion that homosexuals are security risks. 1919 Magnus Hirschfeld founded the Institute for Sexology in Berlin. One of the primary focuses of this institute was civil rights for women and gay people. 1933 On January 30, Adolf Hitler banned the gay press in Germany. In that same year, Magnus Herschfeld’s Institute for Sexology was raided and over 12,000 books, periodicals, works of art and other materials were burned. Many of these items were completely irreplaceable. 1934 Gay people were beginning to be rounded up from German-occupied countries and sent to concentration camps. Just as Jews were made to wear the Star of David on the prison uniforms, gay people were required to wear a pink triangle. WWII Becomes a time of “great awakening” for queer people in the United States. The homosocial environments created by the military and number of women working outside the home provide greater opportunity for people to explore their sexuality.

A Movement on the Verge: The Spark of Stonewall The night of Saturday, June 28, 1969, the streets of Central Greenwich Village were crowded with angered gay men, lesbians, “flame queens”, and Trans*genders. 1 That was the second day of disorder of what would later be called the Stonewall Riots. Centering around Christopher Street’s bar for homosexuals, the Stonewall Inn, the riots began the night before on June 27 and lasted until July 2. These five days of rioting were the result of decades of disdain against the police force and the general population that had oppressed the gay inhabitants of New York City.

Learn More About Pride History
The LGBTQ Pride That Changed American History Pride Month has not always been the impressive celebration we know it to be today. Pride parades/marches have grown tremendously over the past 50 years and it is important to remember the roots of this powerful cultural movement to understand our present. THE STONEWALL RIOTS In June of 1969, New York City police raided the Stonewall Inn, a local gay and lesbian bar. Enraged by the constant police harassment and social discrimination of the LGBTQ community, angry patrons and neighborhood residents became increasingly agitated and a full-blown riot involving hundreds of people began. Over the next five days, the protests against the raid continued, and became a pivotal turning point for LGBTQ activism. On the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, thousands of people marched from the Stonewall Inn to Central Park and adopted the theme of “Gay Pride” in retaliation against the current attitude of shame. That march soon expanded to other cities until Pride became the massive celebration that we know today. THE HISTORY OF THE PRIDE FLAG Commissioned by a well-known gay politician Harvey Milk, the rainbow flag was created in 1978 by Gilbert Baker for San Francisco’s annual pride parade, after they both felt the need for a rallying sign for the gay community. Though the flag originally featured 8 different colors, the colors later decreased to 6, with each color signifying a different meaning. Today, there’s easily a dozen different Pride flags, each representing different segments of the LGTBQ community. However, the most prevalent flag is known as the “Progress Pride Flag”, which was designed by Daniel Quasar in 2018 and features the original 6 color flag plus a triangle with brown, black, baby blue, pink, and white stripes to represent people of color and the trans community, respectively.
