Event Details

The Center presents B.A.M. Salon (Book and Movie Salon) for women hosted by Flynn Sylvest and Irma O’Dell.
We are excited to kick off LGBTQ+ BAM Salon. Our Book and Movie Salon
(BAM Salon) looks to develop and deepen LGBTQ+ community and connection through stimulating and informative conversations about books and movies that highlight women authors and women's stories and experiences.
"Salon" references a centuries rich history of social gatherings from around the world most often run by women. Creative minds come together for the art of conversation, learning and social pleasure. Gertrude Stein and Zora Neale Hurston ran noteworthy salons in the U.S. in the 1920's which were famous for bringing together innovative thinkers and artists. We hope you join us for a taste of vintage mutual education, enrichment and social fun!
The B.A.M. Salons will take place virtually on the third Tuesdays of the month. The first Salon will take place on Tuesday, June the 15^th, 7:00-8:30pm.
We plan to alternate monthly between books and movies.
Schedule
- June And playing the role of herself by K.E. LaneBook description - Actress Caidence Harris is living her dreams after landing a leading role among the star-studded, veteran cast of 9th Precinct, a hot new police drama shot on location in glitzy LA. Her sometimes-costar Robyn Ward is magnetic, glamorous, and devastatingly beautiful, the quintessential A-List celebrity on the fast-track to super-stardom. When the two meet on the set of 9th Precinct, Caid is instantly infatuated but settles for friendship, positive that Robyn is both unavailable and uninterested. Soon Caid sees that all is not as it appears, but can she take a chance and risk her heart when the outcome is so uncertain?

Event Details

Tune in as real estate and mortgage professionals walk you through the home buying and lending process. They will explain the various steps and provide important tips to get you on your way to owning your first home. All attendees to the free session will also receive a fully illustrated 42-page LGBTQ+ Homebuyer Guide!
This is the first public-facing program offered by the LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance (The Alliance), a 501(c)6 non-profit with more than 1,200 members that launched in October. It will feature a variety of important topics for potential homeowners including discussions about down payments, mortgage types, pre-approval and the lending process.
The program will also provide insight into selecting an agent, home and neighborhood, while offering perspectives on the offer, negotiations and the different steps to closing. The Alliance will also provide resources to help combat potential housing discrimination against sexual orientation and gender identity
“Today’s market conditions have heightened the challenges first-time homebuyers face, and we believe it is important to provide members of our community with the tools and resources they need to navigate the buying process,” said Ryan Weyandt, CEO of the LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance.
“Along with discrimination, and the fear of it, we have found a lack of education focused on the LGBTQ+ community that would allow more to better prepare for the process,” added Weyandt. “Homeownership provides long-term emotional and financial security and our community, like other diverse groups, has not had the same opportunities. We are working to change this.”
Weyandt will be joined on the seminar by Josh Pringle from Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Leaskou Partners in Palm Springs, California, Alliance San Antonio (Texas) chapter President and Coldwell Banker D’Ann Harper REALTORS® agent Kassandra Alicea, and Ron Waterson, a loan officer with PrimeLending in Dallas. .

Come discover the LGBTQ+ side of the Harlem Renaissance, from Langston Hughes to Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday to James Baldwin!
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.
About this event
The Harlem Renaissance, as gay as it was Black, is a rediscovery of the iconoclasts of the Harlem Renaissance—the creatives who made Harlem a veritable playground of cultural production and a Black queer mecca led fascinating lives that were full of intrigue. Influenced by the theoretical ideology of the renaissance's master architect, Alain Locke, writers, visual artists, and performers created works that examined the histories of their people while looking forward to pursuing a new African American artistic culture. Scholarship on the period is only now recognizing their queerness as a factor, and the cultural impact of these Black Queer creatives is finally coming to realization.
On this fun and informative hour-long virtual tour, learn about:
Harlem's leading literary salon of the Renaissance period and Madame CJ Walker's daughter, who hosted it
the hot literary magazine of the Harlem Renaissance (called Fire!!) and the artist and writers' group house that birthed it
Langston Hughes' life in Harlem
the clubs where Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday sang
James Baldwin's father's churchand the high school where Baldwin became the heir of the Renaissance and much more!

Gay Desert Guide's Fun & Games Dept. and TheMenEvent.com present LGBTQ History through the Voices of Those Who Lived It
Eric Marcus draws on his archive of rare recorded interviews with LGBTQ trailblazers to tell the early years of the LGBTQ rights movement!
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.
In the late 1980s, twenty-nine-year-old journalist Eric Marcus was commissioned to write an oral history of what was then called the gay and lesbian civil rights movement. In more than a hundred interviews, Eric set out to capture the stories of the movement’s largely unsung heroes before old age or AIDS claimed them. The resulting book was published in 1992 under the title Making History; the revised 2002 edition was titled Making Gay History.
Since 2016, Eric’s interview archive has found new life in the Making Gay History podcast, which features intimate conversations with both known and long-forgotten LGBTQ champions and allies. The podcast spotlights the contributions of trans activist Sylvia Rivera, film historian and ACT UP cofounder Vito Russo, Black feminist icon Barbara Smith, PFLAG cofounders Jeanne and Morty Manford, and dozens more in their own indelible words.
On June 20, join Eric as he shares the voices of some of these history-makers and hear firsthand what inspired them to blaze a trail for LGBTQ equality.
- Trans activist Sylvia Rivera posing in front of a fountain, 1970.
- Sylvia Rivera, a transgender rights activist who was also a noted community worker in New York.
- Vito Russo, an American LGBT activist, film historian, and author. He is best remembered as the author of the book The Celluloid Closet (1981, revised edition 1987), described in The New York Times as "an essential reference book" on homosexuality in the US film industry,
- Barbara Smith, an American lesbian feminist and socialist who has played a significant role in Black feminism in the United States.
- Jeanne and Morty Manford, founded a group for parents of gay people in 1973. Today it's an international organization called PFLAG.

About this event
The Stonewall riots are internationally recognized as the breakthrough moment for queer rights in the 20th century—the spontaneous fightback against the authorities in June 1969 laid the groundwork for the progressive changes to society that the queer community has fought for ever since. But how did this event change the art world of New York City? Exploring the difference between art made before and after the Stonewall riots, this talk gives you an overview of how queer artists were able to express themselves, or not, given the differing social climates of New York. Together, we will closely look at and discuss these queer artists, all living and working in NY:
Paul Cadmus, whose coded references to homosexuality were the first in American art.
Beauford Delaney, whose difficult life encapsulates what it's like to live under intersectional oppression.
Alvin Baltrop, who captured a sexually uninhibited New York in the 70s and early 80s.
Nan Goldin, Keith Haring, and David Wojnarowicz who embodied the new breed of artist-activist that grew out of the East Village art scene in response to the AIDS crisis.
Felix Gonzalez-Torres, whose deceptively simple artworks sum up the lived experiences of many queer New Yorkers in the 90s.
By the end of the talk you will be able to see how queer artists of all stripes were, more-often-than-not, leaders at the forefront of artistic expression, despite the being deemed criminals for much for of the 20th century.

Event Details

The Miss Firecracker Contest is a Southern Gothic comedy written by Beth Henley presented by The Desert Rose Playhouse.

The family and friends who help her along the way are a dysfunctional bunch who tackle life in their own peculiar ways. The general conclusion that the colorful characters reach is that, even if the real you is not the fulfillment of your hopes, you will be more at peace if you learn to define and accept your own self.

Gay Desert Guide's Fun & Games Dept. and TheMenEvent present Pride LGBTQ+ Virtual History Walking Tour of Greenwich Village
Celebrate Pride weekend on a tour of the world's first gayborhood, where the Stonewall uprising began and the idea of Pride was born.
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.
On this tour, we explore the heart of the Village, where the gay liberation movement took off, with the Stonewall riots in 1969 and the first Gay Pride parade a year later.
But the Village’s gay history goes back a century before that, to the time of Walt Whitman. Since that time, like Paris’ Left Bank, the Village has been the center of all of the city’s many countercultures and artistic movements, from the creators of Off Broadway to the Beats and the Factory—and of course the gay liberation movement. During this tour, we see the places where Villagers have lived and loved, including the sites of the drag shows and gay bars which have dotted the Village for 150 years—and of course the Stonewall Inn, where our tour starts and ends.
The list of LGBT greats we discover reads like a history of American culture, from Herman Melville to Eleanor Roosevelt to James Baldwin to Harvey Fierstein.
