Listen via @KPCC: “The history of LGBT people in #LosAngeles is incredibly rich. In 1950, activist Harry Hay founded the Mattachine Society to fight for gay rights. The nation’s first large-scale and documented protests happened here in 1967 at the Black Cat Tavern. And the Metropolitan Community Church, the nation’s first LGBT-inclusive congregation, began holding services in 1968. But less is known about the history of LGBT people of color during these same years. "In many ways we’re only starting to understand the breadth of queer history in Los Angeles,” says David Evans Frantz, curator at the ONE National Gay and Lesbian Archives at USC. Those stories are in the spotlight at “Axis Mundo: Queer Networks in #Chicano L.A.,” now on exhibition at MOCA Pacific Design Center.“ Listen by retyping this link in your web browser: http://bit.ly/queer-chicanos
October is #LGBTHistorymonth, and all month @1010WINS AM in #NYC is bringing the voices of LGBT champions from our podcast on air. Morty Manford was a gay rights activist in New York in the 1960s and ‘70s. When he was beaten up by anti-gay bigots as police officers looked on in 1972, his mother decided to speak up. That June, Jeanne Manford marched in the gay pride parade alongside her son, holding a sign that said “Parents of gays: unite in support of our children”. That something they started was #PFlag, originally known as Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays. @PFlagnational is now a national organization with more than 200 thousand members and supporters and 400 chapters nationwide. The Manfords have a street corner named after them in Flushing, and a post office in Jackson Heights has been named after Jeanne and her husband Jules. Morty Manford died of complications of AIDS in 1992, aged 41. Jeanne Manford died in 2013, aged 92.

Happy birthday to Frida Kahlo The legendary Mexican artist would have been 111 today. Her work has inspired generations of artists. Frida occasionally wore men’s clothing and was proudly bisexual — despite the world being hostile to LGBTQ people in the early 20th century. 📸: #NickolasMuray The first portrait was taken by Frida’s father, Guillermo Kahlo, in 1926.
