Event Details

The Timothy Ray Brown “The Berlin Patient” Memorial Campaign consortium has announced Friday, May 7, 2021 as the date for the dedication ceremony of a memorial bench and plaque in The Wellness Park, located at the corner of Via Miraleste and Tachevah Road in Palm Springs, CA. The dedication ceremony will be held at 12 noon in The Wellness Park near the meditation circle and labyrinth and is open to the public.
Timothy Ray Brown was an American considered to be the first person cured of HIV/AIDS. Brown was diagnosed with HIV while studying abroad in Berlin, Germany in 1995, and later developed acute myeloid leukemia. Brown underwent two stem cell transplants and discontinued his HIV therapy. By the end of 2007, it appeared that the treatment worked – both for his HIV and for his cancer. Brown was called "The Berlin Patient" at the 2008 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, where his HIV cure was first announced, and after that he dedicated his life to supporting research to search for a cure for HIV. Brown’s leukemia recently returned, and he passed away on September 29, 2020.
To memorialize Timothy Ray Brown’s life and journey, a consortium of HIV/AIDS organizations collaborated to launch the Timothy Ray Brown “The Berlin Patient” Memorial Campaign. The Campaign raised funds to dedicate a memorial boulder with a touching inscription in the National AIDS Memorial Grove in San Francisco and a memorial bench and plaque in The Wellness Park adjacent to the Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs. The National AIDS Memorial Grove memorial boulder dedication ceremony event is expected to be held this fall in San Francisco.
The coordinating consortium consists of the National AIDS Memorial, Let’s Kick A.S.S. (AIDS Survivors Syndrome) Palm Springs (LKAPS), amfAR-The Foundation for AIDS Research, Desert Healthcare District & Foundation, HIV AIDS Research Project-Palm Springs (HARP-PS), and Until There’s A Cure Foundation.
The consortium collaborated with Tim Hoeffgen, Brown’s life partner, in the effort. "I am so happy that the HIV community and family and friends have joined together to memorialize Timothy Brown's activism and legacy at the AIDS Memorial Grove in San Francisco and The Wellness Park in Palm Springs. Having these special places to remember and meditate on Timothy’s life is what I envisioned, and I am extremely grateful for this outpouring of support," stated Hoeffgen.
Hoeffgen will be attending the dedication ceremony along with representatives from the Desert Healthcare District & Foundation, HARP-PS, LKAPS and the Timothy Ray Brown Memorial Campaign.
The Wellness Park, along with its interactive gardens, is an integral part of the Desert Healthcare District & Foundation’s commitment to health promotion and community collaboration and partnerships designed to improve the health and quality of life for all District residents. The five-acre park is adjacent to Desert Regional Medical Center and provides a rich opportunity for patients, their visiting families and friends, staff, and residents to exercise, unwind, relax, and meditate. The Wellness Park offers a quarter-mile walking/jogging loop with drinking fountains and benches at regular intervals, five exercise/fitness stations, and various gardens – meditation, memorial, and a healing and fragrance garden with a bubbling fountain.

Event Details

Gay Desert Guide's Fun & Games Dept and TheMenEvent present Oscar Wilde’s London and Paris.
See the places where one of LGBTQ history's most dramatic stories took place: the rise of fall of great gay author and martyr Oscar Wilde.
Can't make the live event? Buy a ticket for the recording and watch the event in your own time! See FAQs below for more info.
Come see the restaurant where Wilde wined and dined his rent boys, the cafe where he lunched with Bosie and his father (!), the hotel room where he was arrested, and more!
Oscar Wilde was a man of amazing talents: he was probably the greatest wit in the history of the English language, and one of the greatest English writers in at least 3 genres: the short story, the essay, and above all, the comedy. He also, sadly, had one the greatest (and most tragic, in the precise sense of the word) falls imaginable: in the space of a few days, he went from being a playwright with 3 successful plays running—so lionized that he could chat about them with the Prince of Wales—to being a prisoner not allowed to read or write and forced to do monotonous "hard labor"—an experience that almost silenced him as a writer, and surely contributed to his dying only 5 years later, at the age of 46. And of course, all of this happened because he was (despite a marriage and 2 children) what today we call gay: his fall was brought on by a heated love affair with a beautiful but crazy young male aristocrat, Lord Alfred "Bosie" Douglas.
In short, his story is both amazing and appalling—and many of the places where it took place are still to be seen, especially in London and Paris: Wilde's famous "house beautiful" is still there—though stripped of its Wildean contents at an auction when he went bankrupt in prison— as are cafes and restaurants where famous scenes in his story took place, the country houses he rented to work on his plays (where famous fights with Bosie took places), theaters where his plays were put on, hotels where he and Bosie (and other lovers) stayed, the hotel room where he was arrested, the prisons where he was held, the hotel room in which he died—and more.
So come spend an hour with Professor Lear, as he shows you the scenes on which this most riveting of personal dramas took place.

Event Details

Gay Desert Guide's Fun & Games Dept. and TheMenEvent.com present Dressed to Kill: Fashion & Beauty through History at the Met Museum
Fun & informative live online tour (w/ Q&A) on changing styles of beauty and the astonishing lengths to which people have gone to attain it.
Can't make the live event? Buy a ticket for the recording and watch the event in your own time! Details in FAQs below.
Explore the changing styles of beauty -- and the astonishing lengths to which people have gone to attain it. Your expert companion? Professor Andrew Lear, four-time winner of the Harvard Certificate for Excellence in Teaching.
Lear's 'Dressed to Kill' opens your eyes to some of the most fascinating, bizarre and painful things people have done throughout history to look impressive, alluring and downright amazing.
From the grand hairdos of Imperial Rome to the outrageous wigs of the court at Versailles; from gold ear spools in pre-Columbian America to neck rings in Africa and Southeast Asia; and from 300 years of torturous corsets to 3000 years of artful cosmetics, the history of fashion is on dazzling display at the Met.
Professor Lear looks at both men's and women's fashion from head to toe, as well as inside out. (Just what did Victorian women wear underneath those giant hoops?) He looks at men, too—with their powdered wigs, white makeup, foppish ruffs and of course, those eyebrow-raising codpieces.
- He goes beneath the surface to get to the real story: the political, social, and even medical currents that shaped fashion and how it changed:
- Why did French courtiers wear foot-high wigs in the 17th century?
- Were beauty spots really used to cover up syphilis?
- What clothing was dyed with cyanide and poisoned its wearers over time?
- How did bicycles affect the way women dressed in the closing years of the 19th century?
Speaker Bio
- Andrew Lear is a renowned expert on same-sex relations in Greek and Roman antiquity. During his academic career, he taught at Harvard, Pomona College, and NYU. In recent years, he has founded Oscar Wilde Tours, the LGBTQ history and culture tour company and Shady Ladies Tours, a women's history and culture tour company. He is also working with actor/author Stephen Fry on a podcast about the "Scandals and Secrets of London's National Portrait Gallery."

Event Details

Sponsored by Unitarian Universalist Church of the Desert (UUCOD) Mama Gloria is a feature documentary about Gloria Allen, a trailblazing 74-year-old Black transgender activist who started a charm school for homeless trans youth and is now aging with joy and grace.
Mama Gloria is a feature documentary about Gloria Allen, a trailblazing 74-year-old Black transgender activist who started a charm school for homeless trans youth and is now aging with joy and grace. It is the story of a mother’s love -- the love that Gloria’s mother had for her and the love that Gloria has for her chosen children. And it is fueled by the love that filmmaker Luchina Fisher has for her teenage transgender daughter, Gia.
At a time when Black transgender women face escalating violence and make up the majority of transgender people murdered each year, Gloria’s story is an inspiring portrait of aging seldom seen.
All proceeds for this fundraiser go to Safe Schools Desert Cities. Your donation will be used in the general fund for program expenses and annual events, such as Pride Prom, Rainbow Youth Summit, and the Youth Zone @ Palm Springs Pride.
Luchina Fisher and Mama Gloria will lead a discussion following the film

Event Details

Gay Desert Guide's Fun & Games Dept. and TheMenEvent.com present Paris Cafés—Their Stories and Histories
Come find out about Paris' soul—its cafés—and the amazing stories and history (plus literature and art!) that have taken place there!
Paris wouldn't be Paris without its cafés—the packed terraces where Parisians go to see and be seen. A simple coffee and a croissant come with a jolt of excitement when you have them in a Paris cafe. But more than a simple place to hang out, Paris' cafes have served for centuries as a laboratory of literature, art, and ideas.
Come experience the history of Paris' cafes with two ultimate devotees, Professor Lear and Edith de Belleville—and their august antecedents.
Come to the Cafe Procope, the oldest cafe in Paris, to celebrate Voltaire's literary successes. Congratulate Ben Franklin on finalizing the Treaty of Paris, which he edited at a corner table.
Let Oscar Wilde amuse you as you drink an elegant hot chocolate at the Café de la Paix.
Sip a Sun Also Rises Cocktail at midnight in Montparnasse's Select café with Hemingway and his new, magnetic friend Scott Fitzgerald.
Argue about cubism over a cold glass of rose on the Rotonde terrace with Picasso and Modigliani.
Exchange ideas about surrealism at the Café des Deux Magots as you drink absinthe with Dali André Breton.
Debate existentialism over a café crème at the café de Flore with Sartre and de Beauvoir. And go upstairs to see how Jimmie Baldwin's Giovanni's Room is coming along.
Come discover the mythical s cafés of Paris, where the history of literature and art was made!
Speaker Bios
- A Parisian native, Edith de Belleville was an attorney at law for many, many years, but her passion for Paris and its history led her back to university (at the age of 50) to get her official tour guide license. Deeply inspired by Parisian women of the past, Edith decided to write a book, in French, entitled The Beautiful Rebels of Paris (Belles et Rebelles, Editions Erik Bonnier). Edith also teaches Jewish heritage in Paris at University Gustave Eiffel (Marne la Vallée), and has just finished a book in English about the fabulous life of a mature Parisian woman in the City of Light.
- Andrew Lear is a renowned expert on same-sex relations in Greek and Roman antiquity. During his academic career, he taught at Harvard, Pomona College, and NYU. In recent years, he has founded Oscar Wilde Tours, the LGBTQ history and culture tour company and Shady Ladies Tours, a women's history and culture tour company. He is also working with actor/author Stephen Fry on a podcast about the "Scandals and Secrets of London's National Portrait Gallery."

Event Details

Due to a host of factors the 2021 NAGAAA Cup dates have been shifted from late March to Memorial Day Weekend, May 28-30, 2021 in Palm Springs, California. NAGAAA Cup is an invitation only tournament for A & B Division teams. This tournament showcases the most elite athletic competition that NAGAAA has to offer.
All teams currently registered for the 2021 NAGAAA Cup will remain registered and do not need to do anything to keep their spot in the tournament. Registration for the new dates is open. Any A or B Division teams that would like to register for the new tournament dates may do so by contacting NAGAAA Athletic Director, Jeff Sloan via email at ad@nagaaasoftball.org
We’ve decided to move all games to Big League Dreams and not utilize Demuth Park as our second sports complex. This decision was based on 2 factors: (1) it allows us to better enforce Covid safety protocols; and, (2) Demuth Park is a city-run facility and, in all likelihood, won’t permit tournament play until we reach the least restrictive Tier 4/ Yellow Status.
Championship Games will be Live-Streamed via Cloud Sports Network (34K+ unique viewers 2019)

The North American Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance is a non-profit, international association of gay and lesbian softball leagues.
