Behind-The-Scenes - Tour of GLBT Historical Society with Tom Birch - San Francisco, California
Driving Equality is a 100-day, 16,000-mile, 48-state trek across America to collect stories from LGBTQ people in an effort to raise awareness of the various forms of discrimination faced by our community in each state of the nation. Highlighting the differences in rights, laws, and amendments between the states will shed light on the current social standing of queer individuals today. I hope to create a dialogue about the disparities across the nation, and what can be done to end discrimination for all.
During the 100-day trip, I am meeting with LGBTQ community organizers, activists, and any citizens willing to talk, as well as our opposition. Through these interviews, I will gain an understanding of the current political climates, and explore ways of combating discrimination. Throughout my journey, I will make frequent posts on the website, including photos and video clips.

Steve Elkins & Bob Ostertag At The San Francisco GLBT HIstory Museum
Steve Elkins speaks on a Living History panel at the San Francisco GLBT History Museum (September 2011) about his short film documenting the 1991 AB101 Veto Riot, the last known queer rights riot in the world, which left the SF California State Building in flames and inspired Bob Ostertag's All The Rage, a transcription of the riot into a musical score for Kronos Quartet.
Steve's short film can be viewed here:
Steve's feature film, The Reach Of Resonance:
Half of the Living History panel turned out to be the audience, many of whom participated in the riot and were being reunited for the first time in the 20 years since the event. The following video captures the powerful conversation that ensued as they shared their memories of the riot, and questioned why the riot took place that night, and never again since:
An audience member wrote an articulate and impassioned response to the Living History event, which can be read here:

SF GLBT Museum - Among the Bohemians: Yone Noguchi & Charles Warren Stoddard
September 6, 2017 - SF GLBT Museum
Faces From the Past is a past display in the Queer Past Becomes Present exhibition at the GLBT History Museum that portrays more than 150 years of queer presence in Northern California before 1930.
In conjunction with the exhibit, historian Amy Sueyoshi will trace the affairs of Japanese immigrant poet Yone Noguchi, San Francisco author Charles Warren Stoddard and their bohemian circle at the turn of the 20th century. Her talk will examine how same-sex sexuality, marital infidelity and interracial love could exist openly in the United States in an era when the law criminalized sodomy and miscegenation.
Sueyoshi is associate dean of the College of Ethnic Studies, San Francisco State University, and is the author Queer Compulsions: Race, Nation and Sexuality in the Affairs of Yone Noguchi (2012).

GLBT museum - LGBTQ Portraits: A Queer Historical Perspective
August 10, 2017
Four noted art specialists discuss how LGBTQ artists and sitters have queered the conventions of the portrait. Why does portraiture — deeply implicated from its inception in the representation of kinship, affiliation and identity — remain important to queer communities in the so-called post-identity era?
The panel will feature Tirza Latimer, chair of the Graduate Program in Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts; Pamela Peniston, director of the Queer Cultural Center; Rudy Lemcke, visual artist, and curator; and artist Lenore Chinn, whose painted and photographic queer portraits are currently on display in “Picturing Kinship: Portraits of Our Community by Lenore Chinn” at the GLBT History Museum.

Places to see in ( San Francisco - USA ) The Castro
Places to see in ( San Francisco - USA ) The Castro
The Castro District, in Eureka Valley, is synonymous with gay culture. Revelers often spill onto the sidewalks at numerous bars, like Twin Peaks Tavern, whose floor-to-ceiling windows were revolutionary when it opened in 1972. The lavish Castro Theatre and the GLBT Historic Museum are also found here, as are homey restaurants and adult shops. On Market Street, 19th-century F-line streetcars head to Fisherman’s Wharf.
The Castro District, commonly referenced as The Castro, is a neighborhood in Eureka Valley in San Francisco. The Castro was one of the first gay neighborhoods in the United States. Having transformed from a working-class neighborhood through the 1960s and 1970s, the Castro remains one of the most prominent symbols of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) activism and events in the world.
San Francisco's gay village is mostly concentrated in the business district that is located on Castro Street from Market Street to 19th Street. It extends down Market Street toward Church Street and on both sides of the Castro neighborhood from Church Street to Eureka Street. Although the greater gay community was, and is, concentrated in the Castro, many gay people live in the surrounding residential areas bordered by Corona Heights, the Mission District, Noe Valley, Twin Peaks, and Haight-Ashbury neighborhoods. Some consider it to include Duboce Triangle and Dolores Heights, which both have a strong LGBT presence.
Castro Street, which originates a few blocks north at the intersection of Divisadero and Waller Streets, runs south through Noe Valley, crossing the 24th Street business district and ending as a continuous street a few blocks farther south as it moves toward the Glen Park neighborhood. It reappears in several discontinuous sections before ultimately terminating at Chenery Street, in the heart of Glen Park.
Castro Street was named for José Castro (1808–1860), a Californian leader of Mexican opposition to U.S. rule in California in the 19th century, and alcalde of Alta California from 1835 to 1836.[5] The neighborhood known as the Castro, in the district of Eureka Valley, was created in 1887 when the Market Street Railway Company built a line linking Eureka Valley to downtown.
One of the more notable features of the neighborhood is Castro Theatre, a movie palace built in 1922 and one of San Francisco's premier movie houses. 18th and Castro is a major intersection in the Castro, where many historic events, marches, protests have taken and continue to take place.
A major cultural destination in the neighborhood is the GLBT History Museum, which opened for previews on Dec. 10, 2010, at 4127 18th St. The first full-scale, stand-alone museum of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender history in the United States (and only the second in the world after the Schwules Museum in Berlin), The GLBT History Museum is a project of the GLBT Historical Society.

'Gay Essay' Photographer Helped Bring Queer Life out of Shadows
As the LGBT community prepares for San Francisco's Pride celebrations and the 45th anniversary of the Stonewall riots this weekend, the de Young Museum is exhibiting Anthony Friedkin's photographic Gay Essay. These images of queer life in San Francisco and LA were made in the late '60s and early '70s, when homosexuality was illegal in California. It took more than four decades for Friedkin's full project to see the light. KQED Newsroom's Scott Shafer spoke with Friedkin and others about this groundbreaking work and the dark times that inspired it.

GLBT Museum - Faces From the Past: Bay Area Queer Lives Before 1930
July 14, 2017 – GLBT museum
Faces From the Past is a new display in the Queer Past Becomes Present exhibition in our Main Gallery. Using tintypes, postcards, arrest records and other historical documents, curators Paula Lichtenberg and Bill Lipsky examine over 150 years of queer presence before the 1930s in Northern California. The first of a series of programs in conjunction with the exhibit, this panel will feature the curators, along with two historians:
• Independent scholar Will Roscoe will discuss Queen Califia, the semi-mythical figure after whom California is named, and the two-spirits of the Bay Area.
• San Francisco State University professor Clare Sears will speak on 19th-century San Francisco laws against cross-dressing and homosexual activity.
