Those who recognize Mayor George Moscone's name may think of him as the career politician who was assassinated along with Harvey Milk, but there was much more to this influential and fascinating man's story. He was a trailblazing progressive and powerful state legislator who was instrumental in passing legislation on issues ranging from LGBT rights to funding for school lunches. Moscone's 1975 campaign for mayor was historically significant because it was the first time a major race was won by a candidate who campaigned aggressively for expanding civil rights for both African Americans and LGBT people. He won his campaign for mayor chiefly because of huge support from those two constituencies. Moscone was also a very colorful character who, in addition to being a successful politician, was a charming and charismatic bon vivant who was deeply embedded in the fabric and culture of San Francisco. He grew up the only son of a single mother in Cow Hollow when it was a working class, largely Italian American neighborhood, and he became the kind of politician who knew bartenders, playground attendants, small business owners, and neighborhood activists in every corner of the city. Moscone's life and the history of San Francisco during the middle half of the twentieth century are deeply intertwined.  Through illustrating the life of Moscone, author Lincoln A. Mitchell explores how today's San Francisco came into being. Moscone--through his work in the State Senate, victory in the very divisive 1975 mayor's race, and brief tenure as mayor--was a key figure in the city's evolution. The politics surrounding Moscone's election as mayor, governance of the city, and tragic death are still relevant issues. Moscone was a groundbreaking politician whose life was cut short, but his influence on San Francisco can still be felt today. Learn more about your ad choices.

In 1977, he became California's first openly gay elected official and became a powerful voice for marginalized communities…. But on the morning of November 27, 1978, Harvey's life was cut short just one year into his term when he and Mayor George Moscone became the target of a shocking act of violence.    Thank you to this week's sponsors!   Head over to Wayfair.com and find something that's just your style today.

America is under attack by the wolves in the federal government who are chewing it apart. As the nation spirals into confusion and despair, we are left wondering—why does it feel like no one is fighting back?As Harvey Milk said, “Get out of the bars and into the streets!” Now more than ever, we need to step away from our screens, show up in public spaces, and organize. In the absence of leadership, it's up to all of us to lead.As a protégé of Harvey Milk, Cleve Jones became a key figure in the gay rights movement in the ‘70s and he became the creator of the AIDS Memorial Quilt, one of history's most powerful public memorials. Cleve's activism spans decades, from fighting the Reagan administration's neglect of the AIDS crisis to today's labor rights battles.Listen as we take a look at: • AIDS denialist Robert Kennedy Jr. as Trump's Secretary of Health.• Why language matters, let's stop calling Democrats "Dems."• Why grassroots movements need to come out of the closet to organize effectively.

This month we welcome the filmmakers of the new documentary, “Sally!” the story of Sally Gearhart, the firebrand lesbian feminist who played an irrefutable role in the ascent of San Francisco city supervisor Harvey Milk. Our guests, Deborah Craig, Jorg Fockele, and Ondine Rarey, will share their experience and talk … Continue reading → The post Show Notes – Feb. 23, 2025 appeared first on Outbeat Radio News.

The joyous and jubilant documentary Sally! - the exclamation mark is deliberate - is a delightful and educational journey through the life and history of Sally Miller Gearhart: a professor of Speech, Theatre, and Women Studies; a fantasy writer; and most known as a lesbian feminist activist who helped transform the world for women and queer people alike. If, like me, you haven't truly heard the name Sally Gearhart before, then you might know of her activist work alongside Harvey Milk, notably from a pointed interview where Sally joined Harvey to debate John Briggs about his noxious and harmful bill dubbed Proposition 6, or the 'Briggs Initiative', which, if passed, would have seen homosexuals from academic positions in public schools. This debate with Briggs is one of the pivotal points in Sally's life, which also included her appearance in notable documentaries like WORD IS OUT: Stories of Some of Our Lives in 1977 and in Barbara Hammer's short film Superdyke.What delights the most about Sally!, the documentary, is that it meets the energy, vibrancy, and advocacy of Sally, the person, and acts as a celebration of activism, queer liberation, queer culture, feminism, and so much more. It is, quite simply, a rapturous delight to watch and spend time with. The film details Sally's life, featuring in depth interviews with those she knew, loved, campaigned with, and built a community alongside. It also features some joyously funny and engaging interviews with Sally herself, recorded in the years before her passing. Sally! is more than just a history lesson, it's a reminder that in a time of great societal upheaval and distress, one of the purest forms of resistance is laughter, community, and joy. They can't take that away from you.I was fortunate enough to talk with two of the co-directors of the film, Ondine Rarey and Jörg Fockele, while they were in Sydney for the Mardi Gras Queer Screen Film Festival screening of the film. Fellow co-director and producer Deborah Craig was unable to attend, but the sense of community and energy around the film and the following discussion carries her energy forward. This interview talks about how Deborah discovered Sally, and why telling Sally's story on screen right now is so deeply important. Ondine and Jörg also talk about the importance of being able to screen a film like Sally! in the world right now, and about the importance of keeping queer activist history alive and relevant. Sally! is a delight of a film, and you can see in person at the Mardi Gras Film Festival on Saturday 15 February. This is a special community screening, where all tickets are just $12. You won't want to miss it. However, if you're unable to attend the screening in person, then Sally! is also screening on demand later in the festival.

On this week's show, we visit the Freedom Community Clinic which provides free herbal remedies, massage services and healing workshops at their two apothecaries in Oakland. And just outside the city, they recently launched the Ancestral Healing Farm, where people of color are encouraged to learn about ancestral practices and reconnect with the land. The goal of founder Dr. Bernie Lim is to reach people who might mistrust the mainstream medical system because of racism or cultural incompetency. KQED Arts & Culture Editor Nastia Voynovskaya brings us this profile. Plus a new documentary profiles Sally Gearhart, a radical lesbian feminist whose fight for equality and change sparked movements that still continue today. But unlike her friend and contemporary, Harvey Milk, there are no airport terminals or schools named after her.  Instead, she has been largely erased from history. Deborah Craig, a filmmaker and professor at San Francisco State University, wanted to change that. Craig spoke about her film, Sally!, with The California Report Magazine's Bianca Taylor.

"My name is Harvey Milk, and I deserve a better Biopic!" Did we get that right? While we love what this film is about and appreciate it for being included in the conversation in the 2009 Season, we couldn't help but feel like this wasn't doing justice to Harvey Milk. It's hard to watch a movie about human rights when its cast is riddled with abusers (although to be fair, not all were known abusers at the time of making this movie...something about hindsight being 20/20?) The script felt more like an overview of a Wikipedia page than an in depth look at the mans life and legacy. If you're going to do the biopic Oscar fodder, at least do it well.

In this episode, I dive into a very personal and enlightening conversation with Sara Doell, recent bestselling author of Next Time Leave Me on the Floor: My Journey from Drunk AF to Sober AF. Being tired of waking up with hangovers, regret, shame and fuzzy memories of being mean to her wife, she decided to give up alcohol for one year and see what would happen. At the time, it felt like an insurmountable feat yet she woke up on January 1st, 2022 and committed to 365 days of not drinking alcohol. It took a few short months for her to walk away from that goal. Instead she decided to change her path and remove alcohol from her life for good. In her book, Sara reflects on how alcohol became her kryptonite, why she decided to quit drinking and then travels a winding road through her first two years of sobriety. And in this episode, we discuss all of that...and then some! This conversation is a thought-provoking discussion that I think you will enjoy!   ------------- Sara Doell is a CLCC-certified Life Coach, Division I collegiate golf coach, lifetime member of the LPGA, and an Amazon best-selling author of Your Future Self Will Thank You. She grew up in Rochester, New York, attended Penn State University, and played on scholarship for the golf team. After stints in Charlotte, North Carolina and Brooklyn, New York, she found her way to the West Coast. She lives in San Francisco with her wife, Caitlin, and their mini dachshund, Mr. Harvey Milk. This is her second book. --------- Click this link to purchase the book on Amazon.    

The ‘rainbow flag' first flew in San Francisco's United Nations Plaza for Gay Pride Day, on June 25th, 1978. Created by Gilbert Baker, a friend of Harvey Milk, the original flag featured eight colours – but hot pink and turquoise were dropped from future iterations thanks to a lack of cloth. It was 30ft tall and 60ft wide. In this episode, The Retrospectors discuss how Baker's flag usurped a previous gay symbol, subverted from Nazi iconography; reveal the ‘meaning' of each of the original stripes; and discuss how this radical icon became dragged into corporate culture via ‘pinkwashing'...

Forty six years ago, California held its first statewide vote on gay rights. Prop 6, also known as the Briggs Initiative, sought to ban gay teachers from the classroom. The battle to stop that proposition is the subject of Slate's current “Slow Burn” podcast season, chronicling an explosive moment in both Bay Area and gay liberation history. It follows the political trajectory of Harvey Milk, as well as a wave of anti-gay backlash from conservative politicians across the country. We speak with Slow Burn host Christina Cauterucci and early gay rights advocates Cleve Jones, Gwenn Craig and Ruth Mahaney, about lasting lessons from the Briggs Initiative and those who opposed it. Guests: Christina Cauterucci, host of Slate's "Slow Burn: Gays Against Briggs" podcast Cleve Jones, author, "When We Rise," organizer with UNITE HERE, a hospitality workers' union. Also co-founder of the AIDS Foundation and founder of the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt Ruth Mahaney, former professor of gender and LGBTQ studies Gwenn Craig, queer elder who has worked on several electoral candidate and issues campaigns in San Francisco, including the supervisorial campaign of Harvey Milk and San Franciscans Against Proposition 6

EP 125: PRIDE- Celebrating Diversity & Inclusion While Creating Awareness of LGBTQ Issues In this episode, Jose Miguel Longo discusses the significance of Pride Month and the ongoing issues faced by the LGBTQ+ community. He highlights the importance of creating awareness and education around LGBTQ+ issues, including discrimination, mental health, and anti-trans legislation. Jose emphasizes the need for allies to stand up and support the community, and provides tips on how to create inclusive spaces at work and support LGBTQ+ youth. He concludes with powerful quotes from Harvey Milk and encourages listeners to celebrate diversity and stand together. Takeaways Pride Month is not just a celebration, but an opportunity to create awareness and education around LGBTQ+ issues. Discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community is still prevalent, with high rates of violence, suicide attempts, and workplace discrimination. Allies play a crucial role in supporting the LGBTQ+ community by educating themselves, participating in LGBTQ+ events, and creating inclusive spaces at work. Supporting LGBTQ+ youth and advocating for inclusive anti-bullying policies is essential. The fight for LGBTQ+ rights is ongoing, and it requires individuals to come together, stand up against discrimination, and demand equality.

Es ist kurz vor Mitternacht, als Harvey Milk die U-Bahn-Treppe hinunterhüpft. Schwungvoll biegt er um eine Ecke – und rennt in die Arme eines fremden Mannes. „Hi, mein Name ist Harvey Milk. Ich werde heute 40 und ich würde gerne meinen Geburtstag mit dir verbringen”, stellt er sich ohne Umschweifen vor. Es ist der Beginn einer intensiven Liebe. Einer tiefen Freundschaft. Eines neuen Lebens. Die beiden schlendern von nun an händchenhaltend durch New York City und zeigen ihre Zuneigung auf offener Straße. Anfang der 70er Jahre werden Homosexuelle verfolgt, gleichgeschlechtlicher Sex steht unter Strafe. Aber es spielt keine Rolle, ob er beleidigt oder verhaftet wird: Harvey will sich und seine Sexualität nicht länger verstecken. Das Paar zieht nach San Francisco. Hier leben mehr queere Menschen als in jeder anderen US-amerikanischen Stadt. Aber das San Francisco Police Department hasst die aufblühende Queer-Community. An den Wochenenden machen ganze Trupps von Polizisten Jagd auf Männergruppen, die sie bewusstlos schlagen können. Die Situation bringt Harvey an den Rand der Verzweiflung. Und da sich in seinen Augen kein Politiker dafür einsetzt, beschließt er selbst für den Stadtrat zu kandidieren. Harvey Milk wird der ersten offen schwule Politiker in der Geschichte der USA. Heute sprechen Linn und Leo über einen Mann, der zu sich selbst und seiner Liebe gestanden hat und so zu einem der bekanntesten Bürgerrechtler der LGBTQIA+-Gemeinschaft wurde. Sein Einsatz und seine unerschütterliche Standhaftigkeit haben ihn zu einer Ikone gemacht – die letztlich einen hohen Preis dafür zahlen musste. Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

Convicted felon Trump must go to prison for the safety of every American, the world, and our future. Sending Trump to prison would send a strong message to Putin: no one is above the law. And it will remind Putin that The Hague is waiting for him.   Several recent polls show a majority of Americans, including Independents, want convicted felon Trump to drop out of the race. Yet here we are, with Trump still running and Biden's approval ratings scraping the bottom of the historical barrel. Why? Merrick Garland, Biden's Attorney General, is the worst possible choice for this critical moment in American history.   We all saw Trump and his family try to overthrow our democracy, tailgating before their violent attempted coup and setting up a war room just steps from the White House at the Willard Hotel. Yet, they're still free, enriching themselves, and gearing up to finish the coup they started with Kremlin support back in 2016. None of this is normal.    The cynicism is palpable. Americans expect Trump to walk free, maybe get probation, and continue his campaign for president. This absurdity erodes our faith in already crumbling institutions. The bottom line? A Russian asset should never have come near the White House in 2016. Trump's presidency is a catastrophic failure of the FBI, CIA, Obama's foreign policy team, and Republican leaders who shielded him during two impeachment trials. The establishment wants us to forget this because many now profit from book deals and TV appearances, even though they're part of the problem.   And now, to some good news! Congratulations to Mexico for electing your first female and Jewish president, Claudia Sheinbaum. This gives hope that another world is possible, one built on accountability and justice. Here's to a better future.   Thank you to everyone who supports the show – we could not make Gaslit Nation without you!

On November 27th, 1978, former San Francisco Board of Supervisors member Dan White walked into City Hall and murdered Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk. White was angry about Moscone's decision not to reappoint him to the Board after he resigned earlier that month. Harvey Milk had urged the mayor not to reappoint White. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Dan White. George Moscone was thought by many to be a good mayor, and Harvey Milk was one of the first openly gay elected officials in the United States. Their murders were a blow to the City and its residents. Harvey Milk was revered by most in the gay community and was often referred to as the mayor of Castro Street. Harvey Milk worked hard to pass anti-discrimination ordinances and fought against all propositions that would harm the LGBTQ community.You can help support the show at patreon.com/truecrimeallthetimeVisit the show's website at truecrimeallthetime.com for contact, merchandise, and donation informationAn Emash Digital productionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr. Seema Yasmin set out to provide education for both kids and adults with her latest book "The ABCs of Queer History".

About 'The ABCs of Queer History' In this beautiful picture book brimming with P for Pride, writer and poet Seema Yasmin and illustrator Lucy Kirk introduce a different kind of ABCs—not just words like apple, ball or cat, but rather what it means to be diverse, to be equitable, and to be inclusive. That no one counts unless we all count, and how we must open our eyes and ears, minds and hearts, to hear everyone's story and understand and celebrate their experience.   This is a book of people, of ideas, of accomplishments and events. It's a book about Allies and Ancestors, about Belonging and Being accepted, about Hope, Knowledge, and Love. About historic moments like Stonewall, and how it changed the world. And all about Trailblazers, like Audre Lorde, James Baldwin, Josephine Baker, Harvey Milk, Barbara Jordan, George Takei, Elliot Page, and Sally Ride.   The ABC's of Queer History celebrates both joyful and challenging moments in queer history in the United States through rhyming verse and bright, colorful illustrations.   Make sure to check out the Dtalkspodcast.com website!

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 9th study session on Michael Meiers' Was Jonestown a CIA Medical Experiment. This infamous mass murder has countless parallels to our recent literary selections - Columbine, Michael Swango, and The Hart murder-suicide. The Rev. Jim Jones, a White man born in a Racially Restricted Region of Indiana, took a thousand people from California to Guyana, South America. On November 18th, 1978, Jones killed nearly all 1,000 of his mostly black followers and orchestrated the assassination of Congressman Leo Ryan. Some were shot, but most were poisoned with cyanide, just like "Double-0 Swango." For nearly half a century, this event has been conventionally understood as a bunch of brainwashed black loons following a White charlatan to their demise in the jungle. Meiers' work suggests something far more nefarious. Last week, Meiers outlined the allegations that Rev. Jones masterminded a voter fraud scheme to help install George Mascone as mayor of San Francisco. The new mayor rewarded Jones with an influential appointment to the city Housing Authority - budgeted at more than $10 million. The reverend grew so powerful, when Whites investigated the 1975 mayoral election for voter fraud, he had Temple crony Tim Stoen hired by District Attorney Joseph Freitas - also a Jones lackey - to help conceal truth about the electoral malfeasance. Surprisingly, they found no wrong doing, but, shockingly, all records of the voters for the 1975 mayoral elections have vanished. Along with rigging elections, many journalists and Bay Area citizens thought The Peoples Temple was connected to the 1978 assassinations of Mayor Mascone and Harvey Milk. The two White elected officials were slain in City Hall 9 days after the Jonestown Massacre - which also resulted in the murder of a White politician, Ryan, who made enemies at the CIA. #COINTELPRO #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
