The contributions of our LGBT residents in the arts, academia, business, government, and the nonprofit sectors are immense and deserving of year-round recognition. I encourage Angelenos to experience our city’s rich LGBT legacy. This Calendar and Cultural Guide created by our Department of Cultural Affairs highlights the many activities happening all over L.A. in celebration of LGBT Heritage Month. I hope you also enjoy the work of Los Angeles’ emerging and established LGBT artists showcased throughout this publication. L.A. is the creative crossroads of the world, and the works of these artists enhance our city as a global destination for art, culture, and creativity. Sincerely, ERIC GARCETTI Mayor City of Los Angeles 1 Clifford Pun, His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet, Lightjet print, 2010 2 2016 Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Heritage Month RON GALPERIN LOS ANGELES CITY CONTROLLER Dear Friends, It gives me great pride to celebrate Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Heritage Month with you. Los Angeles has one of the most diverse, exciting LGBT communities in the country. As a proud Angeleno and a proud member of the LGBT community, I feel lucky to live here. Of course, anyone familiar with the history of the LGBT movement in Los Angeles knows what a long journey it’s been to get where we are today. From the founding of the city’s first gay organization, the Mattachine Society, in the 1950s, to the uprising at Cooper’s Donuts in 1959 (10 years before the Stonewall Riots), to Angelenos battling AIDS in the 1980s and fighting for marriage equality today, the stories of LA’s LGBT movement and the men and women who led it resonate throughout the nation. This month, we all take the opportunity to celebrate the legacies of those who broke through the barriers to make LA a more tolerant and vibrant place to live and work. With this calendar and cultural guide, the City’s Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) is highlighting the work of LGBT artists, promoting cultural events, and showcasing the incredible diversity of experiences that Los Angeles has to offer. During the month of June, I invite you to participate, engage, and enjoy. Learn about LGBT history, admire art and culture, and, most of all, celebrate the great City in which we live! RON GALPERIN Los Angeles City Controller 3 4 2016 Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Heritage Month HERB J. WESSON, JR. LOS ANGELES CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT Dear Friends, On behalf of the Los Angeles City Council, it is my privilege to invite you to celebrate Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Heritage Month in our great City! People from around the world have made Los Angeles their home, and each culture contributes to the rich diversity that makes it among the foremost cities in the world. This month we continue to honor the achievements of our City’s LGBT community, and acknowledge their contributions to LA. With this calendar, our Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) highlights the work of our LGBT artists who keep our shared traditions alive and thriving in our communities. DCA offers a wide array of arts and cultural events for your enjoyment. Please refer to this calendar to find the numerous festivals, musical events, theatrical performances, films, poetry readings, and cultural activities in your neighborhood. I encourage you to take part in the special events listed throughout these pages, and welcome you into our neighborhoods to celebrate Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Heritage Month in the City of Angels. It is sure to be a memorable celebration! Sincerely, HERB J. WESSON, JR.

We have seen tremendous gains in LGBT rights in recent history. Today, LGBT Americans are free to marry the person they love, free to serve openly for their country, and freer to be their true, authentic self. Despite historic gains and victories for the LGBT community, we still have far to go. Transgender people still face discrimination far too frequently in our school systems, in the workplace, and within our healthcare system. This year, the City of Los Angeles became the nation’s largest city to establish a permanent council of transgender community leaders to advise the City on how to best serve the needs of transgender Angelenos. Working under the Human Relations Commission, the Transgender Advisory Council will advise the Office of the Mayor, the Los Angeles City Council, City departments, and other elected officials on projects and policies that address critical issues facing the trans community — such as economic development, public safety, accessibility, and public awareness. As the presenting councilman for this year’s LGBT Heritage Month, it is my distinct honor to highlight the “T” in the LGBT community. The individuals being honored at our Council celebration are just some of the many transgender heroes who fight for LGBT equality in Los Angeles. This month though, is not only for the honorees, it is for every ally, partner, and activist who continues to push our city closer towards a true, honest, and complete equality. Thank you. We are all in your debt and celebrate you today. With pride, MIKE BONIN Councilmember, Eleventh District 7 Suzanne Wright, Bundle, Installation, 2016 8 2016 Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Heritage Month MITCH O’FARRELL LOS ANGELES CITY COUNCILMEMBER Friends, On behalf of my constituents in the great 13th Council District, I welcome you to the sixth annual Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Heritage Month kick-off event at Los Angeles City Hall. During previous celebrations I shared the significance of commemorating Pride Month in the City of Los Angeles by remembering our rich LGBT history and two historic events that took place in the communities I represent. As you know, the gay rights movement was born at the Black Cat Tavern in Silver Lake (two years before New York’s Stonewall Inn), and the first Gay Pride Parade took place in Hollywood along the Walk of Fame. Now, decades later, we continue to witness how the civil rights movements has changed the way policymakers think about moving our society forward for everyone. Equal rights mean we denounce hate, embrace inclusiveness, and we extend a hand to the most marginalized in our society. If someone among us does not have full civil rights, then in a sense, none of us do. As a member of the Los Angeles City Council, I am proud to be a voice for our LGBT community and I will continue to act on your behalf to protect our rights. This month, I will join Councilmember Mike Bonin, City Controller Ron Galperin, as well as the entire Los Angeles City Council to honor leaders and legends in the LGBT community. We will shine the spotlight on courage, diversity, pride, and progress in our LGBT community. In addition to the City Council presentation, I am also teaming up with ONE Archives to host a special exhibition in the Bridge Gallery at City Hall. This first-ever exhibit contains a collection of front page headlines from major newspapers across the country following each state court ruling in favor of the Freedom to Marry for LGBT individuals. The Bridge Gallery exhibit is free and open to the public through the end of June. Wherever you plan to celebrate our Pride, keep in mind where we’ve been and where we still need to go. Warm regards, MITCH O’FARRELL Councilmember, Thirteenth District 9 Dwora Fried, Uncut, Mixed media assemblage 10 2016 Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Heritage Month DANIELLE BRAZELL GENERAL MANAGER CITY OF LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS Dear Friends, The Department of Cultural Affairs is pleased to present this calendar of events celebrating the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community thriving in our unique City. In this publication we honor the extraordinary range of LGBT experiences and cultural traditions transforming our society into an exciting, creative metropolis. As a proud member of the LGBT community, I want to express my appreciation for the work of the members of our LGBT Heritage Month Committee, the Mayor’s Office, and our City Council Offices for their assistance in recognizing the many nonprofit organizations, community groups, arts organizations, artists, and activists whose efforts helped us create this impressive publication of fun, educational, and exciting events. We are also pleased to showcase a selection of contemporary art produced by our Los Angeles LGBT artists in this publication. Their vision pays homage to steps taken in the past towards progress, and looks ahead towards a future assuring equality for all. What better place to see fantastic art, experience LGBT creative culture, and celebrate a City’s great gay heritage than Los Angeles? We hope you will join in the festivities and enjoy!
