    modelsofpride.org | 1 WELCOME TO THE 25TH ANNUAL MODELS OF PRIDE CONFERENCE! 25 years ago, this conference was started by a small group of visionaries who believed LGBTQ youth needed a safe, supportive place to connect with each other and be inspired by role models who had gone before them. The first conference, sponsored by a commission of the Los Angeles Unified School District’s Commission on LGBT Rights, was held in 1993 at Occidental College, with about 60 youth in attendance. Today, we expect over 1,500 youth at Models of Pride and over 350 participants in the Parent and Professional Institute. We have much to celebrate. As we gather today in our opening session, we will celebrate the people who had the vision to start this conference, those who put in the time, energy and work to take an idea and make it a reality. And we will honor the two women who are credited with taking that original idea and keeping it going for the following 17 years – Virginia Uribe and Gail Rolf. Our hope for our time together is that each of you would be inspired by these visionary leaders to take the ideas, dreams and visions you have and put in the work to make them a reality. Our conference theme is: Together We Rise. We chose this theme because, in the midst of the daunting and scary political times we are living in, we want to acknowledge that, as a community, we are strong and powerful and resilient. Our community has overcome tremendous challenges, and, if we work together, we will triumph and rise above Ready to talk? our current adversaries and obstacles.

  • The Unladylike Ladies of Roller Derby?: How Spectators, Players and Derby Wives Do and Redo Gender and Heteronormativity in All-Female Roller Derby
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by White Rose E-theses Online The Unladylike Ladies of Roller Derby?: How Spectators, Players and Derby Wives Do and Redo Gender and Heteronormativity in All-Female Roller Derby Megan Geneva Murray PhD The University of York Women’s Studies January 2012 Abstract All-female roller derby is a rapidly growing full-contact sport played on quad roller skates, with a highly popularized punk, feminine, sexual and tough aesthetic. Utilising theories on the institution of heterosexuality, I conducted a qualitative study on all-female roller derby which evaluated the way in which derby aligns with or challenges heteronormativity. In order to approach this question, I analysed, firstly, thirty-eight interviews with spectators, and twelve with players about their interactions with spectators. Secondly, I interviewed twenty-six players about the phenomenon of “derby wives,” a term used to describe particular female friendships in roller derby. My findings relate the complex relationship between players and spectators by focusing on: (i) spectators’ interpretations of the dress, pseudonyms, and identities of players, as well as the ways in which they were actively involved in doing gender through their discussions of all-female, coed, and all-male roller derby; (ii) players’ descriptions of their interactions with spectators, family members, romantic partners, friends and strangers, regarding roller derby. Additionally, I address the reformulation of the role “wife” to meet the needs of female players within the community, and “derby wives” as an example of Adrienne Rich’s (1980) “lesbian continuum.” “Derby girls” are described as “super heroes” and “rock stars.” Their pseudonyms are believed to help them “transform” once they take to the track.

  • Degenderettes Protest Artwork Exhibiton Label Text
    Degenderettes Antifa Art Exhibition Label Text Degenderettes Protest Artwork “Tolerance is not a moral absolute; it is a peace treaty.” Yonatan Zunger wrote these words in the weeks leading up to the first Women’s March in 2017. In the same article he suggested that the limits of tolerance could best be illustrated by a Degenderette standing defiantly and without aggression, pride bat in hand. Throughout this exhibit you will see artifacts of that defiance, some more visceral or confrontational than others, but all with the same message. Transgender people exist and we are a part of society’s peace treaty—but we are also counting the bodies (at least seven transgender people have been killed in the United States since the beginning of 2018). We Degenderettes are present at shows of solidarity such as the Trans March, Dyke March, Women’s March, and Pride. We endeavor to provide protection for transgender people at rallies and marches in San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley. We show up in opposition to people who seek to harm the transgender community—people like Milo Yiannopoulos, whose track record of outing transgender students and doxing immigrants inspired a contingent of Degenderettes to protest his fateful visit to U.C. Berkeley in February 2017. It was in the wake of the confrontation at U.C. Berkeley that shields were identified as weapons by the Berkeley Police Department and banned from all subsequent protests in the city. These guidelines have been adopted throughout the rest of the Bay Area. To us, the shields and everything else in this exhibit are still a type of armor.
