Description: http://www.glbthistory.org San Francisco, CA - The Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Historical Society has announced the opening of "Out Ranks," the nation's first historical exhibit (More) http://www.glbthistory.org San Francisco, CA - The Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Historical Society has announced the opening of "Out Ranks," the nation's first historical exhibit on the experiences of gays in the military. The one-year exhibition opens June 14th, 2007 as Congress begins planning hearings on the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" military policy in the fall. "Out Ranks" is a premier exhibit of the GLBT Historical Society, one of the world's largest institutions for of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender historical materials. "Out Ranks" tracks changes in military policy and conveys the stories of GLBT veterans and peace activists from WWII to Iraq. Almost 70 years of history is told through hundreds of letters, photographs, medals, uniforms, and video footage. The opening reception on Thursday, June 14th is free and open to the public from 6pm-8pm in the GLBT Historical Society's main gallery at 657 Mission Street, 3rd Floor. "The GLBT Historical Society is our community's Smithsonian," said Paul Boneberg, Executive Director. "Our exhibits highlight the vital role of preserving and promoting GLBT history to inform meaningful public debate on pressing current events." The "Out Ranks" exhibit follows two related timelines, running from 1941 to the present. One timeline tracks American military conflicts from WWII to Iraq, focusing on the roles of GLBT personnel. The other timeline charts the evolution of the ban on openly gay service personnel. The two timelines meet in the center of the exhibit in the present time as GLBT service personnel fight their rights even as they defend our country in both the military and peace movements. Visitors to the exhibit are encouraged to walk between the timelines to explore when policies on gays in the military change and why, when and why discharges of GLBT servicemembers rise and fall, how social and political issues (such as AIDS, marriage, homophobia, and privacy) affect the military debate and how military service has affected the gay rights movement over time. "Enforced silence has led to collective amnesia about the patriotic service and courageous sacrifices of gay and lesbian troops," said Dr. Steve Estes, guest curator of "Out Ranks." "This exhibit tells the stories of some of our military's most exceptional servicemembers during the most pivotal times in our country's history." Exhibit highlights pulled from the GLBT Historical Society's world-renowned archives include Leonard Matlovich's footlocker from his tour in Vietnam, Matlovich was a Vietnam vet who fought the US military in 1975 for the right to serve as an openly gay man; the Air Medal Citation, letter from President Truman, and photo of Robert Ricks, a WWII B-24 bomber navigator whose plane was shot down in August 1943 and who spent the rest of the war behind German lines, including three months in Dachau; the Bronze Star Citation and photo of Robert Fleisher who helped liberate Dachau; and a photo of military police guarding the entrance of the Black Cat, a popular gay bar in San Francisco during WWII, in an attempt to keep military personnel out. An estimated 650,000 gays served in the Armed Forces during WWII, despite the official ban on gay military service. "We were not about to be deprived the privilege of serving our country in a time of great national emergency by virtue of some stupid regulation about being gay," said Charles Rowland, one of the gay draftees featured in the exhibit. World War II offered an unprecedented opportunity for women to serve non-combat roles in the military, where thousands of lesbians found sisterhood. Pat Bond, who found herself coming out in the 1940's joined the Women's Army Corps (WAC) on her first day recalled her first day, "I came with my suitcase, staggering down the mess hall and I heard a voice from one of the barracks say, 'Good God, Elizabeth, look! Here comes another one!'" Another WAC servicemember, Helen Harder, dreamed of flying and signed up with her girlfriend. "Out Ranks" is made possible in part by a grant from the California Council for the Humanities, as part of the California Stories initiative. The GLBT Historical Society's mission is to increase public understanding, appreciation, and affirmation of the history and culture of GLBT individuals and communities. Filmmakers, academics, journalists and students regularly use the Historical Society's archives to craft truthful and inspiring representations of GLBT people and their history. (Less)

Milk is a powerful fable about human rights, (More) MILK SKIMMED A provocative GLBT Historical Society roundtable about what was left out of Gus Van Sant's movie. February 19, 2009 in San Francisco. Milk is a powerful fable about human rights, self-invention, and a movement's proud vitality. Critical acclaim, box-office success, and awards underscore the film's relevance. Still, the movie sidelined many prominent activists for gay rights in the 1970s, including lesbians and people of color, who stood with gay hero Harvey Milk. "Milk Skimmed" will explore alternative stories. It will also speculate on what Milk tells us about queer representation in popular culture today. Featured panelists include: Dr. Tomás Almaguer, Ethnic Studies Professor and former Dean of the College of Ethnic Studies at San Francisco State University, has authored Racial Fault Lines: The Historical Origins of White Supremacy in California (UC Press, 1994) and the widely-reprinted article "Chicano Men: A Cartography of Homosexual Identity and Behavior." Gwenn Craig was one of the co-chairs for No on 6, a key organization working with Harvey Milk for the 1978 defeat of the "Briggs Initiative" to strip educators of their civil rights on the basis of sexual orientation. For the past 30 years, she has continued to fight for the rights of queer people, women, labor, and people of color. Dr. Joshua Gamson, Sociology Professor at University of San Francisco, authored Freaks Talk Back: Tabloid Talk Shows and Sexual Nonconformity (Chicago, 1998) and The Fabulous Sylvester: The Legend, The Music, The Seventies in San Francisco (Holt, 2005).   Ruth Mahaney, White Night Riots veteran, is a pioneer in the teaching of Women's Studies, first in 1972 at Santa Rosa Junior College, and later as Women's Studies Coordinator at Sonoma State University. She has gone on to teach Women's Studies and GLBT Studies for 18 years at San Francisco State University and, since the mid 1990s, at City College. "Milk Skimmed" is the kickoff event of TALKING BACK: QUEER HISTORY FULLY EXPOSED, an exciting new series at the GLBT Historical Society that will challenge us to appreciate the spectrum of our collective pasts and to actualize a more expansive future for all. The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Historical Society collects, preserves, and interprets the history of GLBT people and the communities that support them.
