Thank you to everyone who came out for three nights of live Mattachine at the GLBT History Museum! I had a great time meeting all of you and dishing about how fab our queer ancestors are and how evil J. Edgar Hoover was. Looking forward to another season of celebrating our past. The tea will be HOT. ☕️
Look at these cuties! What an honor to meet @cmsmiley425 and @jantipuesto 💋

So thrilled to be featured in today’s Chicago Tribune!
The Chicago Examiner’s headline for Henry Gerber’s 1924 arrest in the building behind @devlyncamp was “STRANGE SEX CULT EXPOSED.” It’s because of his work and the Mattachine’s, and many more people following them, that we can be so lucky to be featured in the Trib in a positive light.

Untitled AIDS Piece 1, variable edition screen prints, 2018

Each folder contains redacted files screen printed on variable substrates (gelatin silver prints, notebook paper, fine art paper, fabrics) in a four run edition.

While I was busy working on the entire process of developing GLORIA I was also experimenting with screen printing and developing this project. After listening to the wonderful @mattachinefiles podcast I was inspired to create a body of work that focused on the erasure of queer people from history and what this means for contemporary visibility. I spent days searching through redacted FBI and CIA files and carefully chose some (and crafted my own) that commented on these issues. Over the next few days I’ll be sharing pieces from this project.

JUNE 18, 2018

If you’re in SF, take a quiet walk through the AIDS Memorial Grove in Golden Gate Park. The rocks, benches, and sidewalks are etched with names of those we lost in the epidemic. It’s astounding to see a fraction of the people lost covering every stone through a large portion of the park.

Mattachine President Dick Leitsch in the organization’s newsletter following Stonewall:
“Those usually put down as ‘sissies’ or ‘swishes’ showed the most courage and sense during the action. Their bravery and daring saved many people from being hurt.”

JUNE 23, 2018

We’ll cover the 1966 “Sip-In” on the podcast eventually (it’s a serialized story, after all) but for today we take some time to read the many memories shared online of Mattachine President Dick Leitsch (1965-69) who passed away yesterday. His contributions to the movement were huge and won’t be forgotten. We can enjoy Pride in our bars because of him.

I’m thrilled to announce that the next season of Mattachine will be funded in part by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence! This is such a great honor to be recognized by an organization that promotes queer culture over conformity, which is exactly what the podcast is about. The Saturnalia Grant is also recognizing incredible groups that help queer people experiencing homelessness, legal help for sex workers, visual and performance art, hotlines for queer folks in need of support, among other good causes. Thank you so much for all your support, Sisters. 🧚🏼‍♂️

“By December 1954, Kennelly seemed so weak that the machine ousted him from the ballot, slating Richard J. Daley to run as the machine’s candidate... Indeed, the Chicago Tribune had long taunted Kennelly for his failure to marry, and his opponent exploited the opening.”
From QUEER CLOUT by Timothy Stewart-Winter.
Another season 2 source! Oh, the not-so-subtle homophobia.

Last Tuesday night, campaigning on a platform of “leaving the crumbling machine in the past,” Lori Lightfoot became the first openly LGBTQ candidate for Chicago mayor. Bill Daley conceded — before the race was called for two women of color.

“Daughters of Bilitis was a vague enough name, they agreed, that if asked about it, members could claim to belong to something as benign as a women’s lodge or a Greek poetry club. Only the enlightened or those already ‘in the life’ would know about Louys’s invention of Bilitis, a mythical female who seduced the celebrated Sappho... It was to be the first—and only—unanimous decision the four founding couples would make.”
