Silver Lake, my own neighborhood, is a historic epicenter of the gay rights movement, and was a refuge for many LGBTQ+ people in the mid-20th century. But this movement was met with real homophobia as well, in ways that were inscribed on the physical spaces of the neighborhood.
In neighborhoods across the city where LGBTQ+ residents lived, the city installed “No Cruising” signs and signs prohibiting U-turns between midnight & 6am targeted explicitly at gay men looking for partners. While many of these signs were removed over recent years, some remained.
Yesterday, I am proud to say that we removed the last of these signs in Silver Lake, taking down these relics of this city’s homophobic past. These particular signs were outside the AT Center, a landmark LGBTQ+ recovery & wellness center, where we celebrated the sign removal.
While we are celebrating Pride Month in LA, it’s also important to confront the history of how this city hasn’t always been a welcoming place for LGBTQ+ people – in ways that might not be obvious to us today. 🧵
Baby gays assemble!
This past week was @babygaytv’s premiere, and it was a very special one. Thank you @pjbrescia for writing Grace and entrusting me with her, so I could slay homage to the Grace in my life, @just_donzell. So egg-cited to see how this project takes off 🚀🌈
It's important that our community is visible and accessible not only in the digital space but also in our classrooms. LGBTQ+ representation in communities and schools are not a privelage, they are a right. #dontsaygay#floridabill
We started with a mission to help women and nonbinary friends get educated, connected, and financially rewarded in web3.
Since, BFF has grown faster than we ever imagined.
Now, we’re working hard on what the future looks like.
