Despite the heat, ABQ celebrates Pride Fest

A participant from R. Greenleaf Organics throws glitter on the crowd from a pirate themed float during Albuquerque’s 2018 Pride Parade on June 9, 2018.

The smell of sunscreen filled the air from the intersection of Central Avenue and Girard Boulevard to Expo New Mexico, as Albuquerque residents were shoulder-to-shoulder for the city’s annual Pride Fest Parade on June 9.

The three day event celebrated its last day as thousands of people lined up along Central Avenue and waved at community organizers, businesses and local politicians in rainbow decorated floats.

Before the parade, representatives from Mayor Tim Keller’s office delivered a statement about the festivities, followed by a rainbow ribbon cutting ceremony that marked the beginning of the day’s festivities.

Albuquerque Police Department motorcyclists led the way through the empty street — sidelined with Pride supporters — making way for members of a local marching band, Encantada. Each member of the band carried an instrument covered with blue, purple, red, orange, yellow or green paint.

Floats cruised down Central Avenue with smiling and waving occupants as rainbow streams taped to car doors and bumpers

HIV testing clinics near UNM Trans March speaks against violence

By Luisa Pennington @lulupenni

With youths aged 13 to 24 making up 21 percent of new HIV diagnoses in the U.S., according to the CDC, it’s no surprise that many HIV clinics are available to young people. Specifically, at the University of New Mexico, there are three HIV Education and Resource clinics that exist, today.

Located on campus grounds, the Student Health and Resource Center, the LGBTQ Resource Center and the UNM Truman Health Services Center all offer monthly testing.

Founded upon the mission of serving New Mexicans in need of HIV and gender services, UNM Truman Health Services center is located just west of University Boulevard and North of Las Lomas Road.

As part of Community Health Resources, rapid HIV testing is offered every Tuesday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and Thursday from 12:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and walkins are encouraged. Results are produced in about 30 minutes and bilingual services are also offered.

For patients already diagnosed with HIV, UNM Truman Health Services offers a prepa-

ratory clinic that discusses access to preparation and educates people of medication that will reinforce protection. In addition to this, UNM Truman Health Services also participates in health fairs and methadone clinics amongst the Albuquerque community.

“Testing is the number one

twice a month. On the second and fourth Tuesday of every month, students who call to schedule an appointment are helped from 10 a.m. to 11:40 a.m. and, after this, testing is opened up to walk-ins.

Testing takes around 20 minutes to complete and, during this time, students will receive a small

The 2018 Trans March, hosted by the Transgender Resource Center of New Mexico, took place on Thursday, June 7. The event was organized in part by the University of New Mexico LGBTQ Resource Center.

The event began at the Resource Center with food and a meet and greet, and then a number of speakers took to a microphone to speak to their experiences. A crowd of energetic, diverse participants watched as various speakers relayed stories of mistreatment, oppression and violence.

The country’s political climate was a frequent talking point. One speaker, who prefers the pronouns he, him, his, spoke positively, saying that as a society we have made progress in becoming more tolerant and accepting of the trans and wider LGBTQ community. He said this progress, however, has invited those against the community to raise their voices louder.

Another frequent topic in the speeches was transphobic violence.

Speakers recounted the story of Roxana Hernandez, a transgender migrant who died in the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s custody. Attendees bore signs that read “Justice

for Roxana,” demanding legal action against the ICE facility where she died. Others went further, calling for the complete abolishment of ICE. One of the speakers and march participants was Renae Gray, who is a Native trans activist and prefers the pronouns she, her and hers.

“I march to stand with my sisters,” Gray said. “Lots of them have passed already. It’s unacceptable.

I’m here to demand structural change — it needs to happen now.”

After a number of speakers, the march assembled outside the center, led by members of the Queer Trans People of Color group, or QTPOC. Most of the route took place along Central Avenue, with a car leading the way to clear traffic.

QTPOC member Selina Aleztia Del Hierro-Villa, who prefers the pronouns they, them, theirs, led chants through a loudspeaker, including “Trans liberation, no deportation,” “No justice, no pride” and “Arrest us, just try it. Stonewall was a riot.”

Signs carried by participants called for political and social change, ranging from specifically trans rights, to immigration issues, to calling for an upheaval of the capitalist economic system. Some motorists slowed and honked, and

Title Holders recognized during Pride Parade

By Anthony Jackson @TonyAnjackson This year, four people were recognized as 2018 New Mexico Pride Title Holders. According to the Albuquerque Pride website, recipients must register and win their pageant, as well as engage communities in a year long project to “educate, and bring awareness” to LGBTQ culture and issues, to become a Title Holder.

Chris Salas, also known as Topher Daniels, is a University of New Mexico alumnus, and holds the Mr. New Mexico Pride 2018 title.

Daniels has been involved with pageants for over seven years and has served on the Pride board.

Daniels said he competed for Mr. Gay USofA and Mr. Arizona, but never saw himself becoming Mr. New Mexico Pride. He said his partner’s work as Mr. New Mexico Pride in 2017 inspired him to impact a community.

“This is a service title. It’s not always glamorous but it is about using the platform of Albuquerque Pride as a platform for things you’re passionate about,” Daniels said, comparing the title to being “the Queen of England.”

Daniels said he built his platform and raised $200 for A Light in the Night — a non-profit organization that works to improve the safety and living conditions for Albuquerque’s homeless population.

“We come from a place of nonjudgement and (A Light in the Night) is just people helping people,” Daniels said. “For whatever reason, we see more transgendered people homeless, and I want to draw our community’s attention to that issue.”

Nathen Illidge-Welch, who goes by the stage name “Felicia Roxx Star Faraday,” holds the 2018 title of Miss New Mexico Pride.

She said she has been doing drag for six years and “never saw herself as a pageant person.”

Faraday said that her biggest

issue with pageants now is how “cookiecutter” it is.

“I like to play with colors and (modern pageant judges) are very strict with what you have to look like in order to compete,” she said, and added that “she can be herself” in Pride pageants.

Faraday said she built her Pride platform around the Rape Crisis Prevention Center of Central New Mexico — an organization that provides crisis support and a 24-hour hotline for sexual assault counseling. She wanted to relieve victims of sexual assault from the same struggles she went through.

“I kind of held onto this secret for 10 years before I actually spoke up about it. It took me working with sexual assault and the victims at the Rape Crisis Center to step up and be ‘this is what happened — I’m not ashamed of it, and neither should you,’” Faraday said.

Faraday said she hopes her position will strengthen support networks and resources for sexu-

al assault survivors.

“I don’t personally think that I’m anybody special, I just think I do what I feel is right for the people around me,” Faraday said.

CeCe Knight Jones, born Casey Combs, holds the 2018 Miss New Mexico Pride Youth title. Jones started drag two years ago at events hosted by the United Court of the Sandias — a nonprofit that aims to increase awareness and educate about health and social issues and supports the drag community.

“I thought it would be a good idea for me to run so I could understand what people go through when they go through pageants, because they’re a big part in our community,” Jones said.

Jones said he ran on a platform based around anti-bullying and anti-harassment. “(Anti-bullying and anti-harassment) is such a big deal to us LGBTQ youth and a lot of people know it, but it doesn’t get the attention that it needs,” he said.

Jones said that all the money he raised will be donated to the Trevor Project, a national 24-hour suicide prevention hotline for LGBTQ youth, and to Teen N’M Power, an STD and HIV prevention and treatment program under the New Mexico Department of Health.

Jones said he hopes his actions and title as Miss New Mexico Youth will jumpstart LGBTQ youth to “take the community by storm.”

Michael Thomas Pierce, also known as Ashton Phoenix, holds the 2018 Mr. New Mexico Pride Youth.

Phoenix said what motivated him to run for the title was to “be the change that you want to see in the world.”

He crafted a platform with New Mexico’s Children, Youth and Families Department (CYFD) because he holds them “close to heart.” He said he was adopted when he was three years old — Phoenix is now 20 years old.

“I would go to the park and pass out waters at (events with CYFD), do the star spangled banner, and also I would go in and volunteer by wrapping presents and passing them out to all the children and by helping with the parties (my aunt) puts on,” Phoenix said.

He said he wants to expand his volunteering horizons.

“I want to start by getting donations as far as blankets and stuff like that, and take them to the homeless adopted community, especially the LGBTQ part of it, but overall all of the CYFD homeless (children), because there are a lot of children that have come out to their parents and their parents kick them out and now they’re homeless,” he said.

Phoenix said he wants to see more outreach from CYFD to him for LGBTQ issues.

“If I am using them as a platform, I feel they should also outreach to me to help support them and be a part of the organization,” he said.

Trailers decorated with rainbow flags, banners and inflatable props remained steadfast as the float’s half-a-dozen occupants danced and moved about.

Some participants in the parade tossed candy to the crowd, while others tossed condoms, rainbow-colored headbands or bead necklaces. Activist groups handed out pamphlets discussing political candidates or causes.

To keep the crowd cool in the more than 90 degree heat, some participants sprayed mist or splashed guests using water guns.

No two floats looked the same.

Of the many businesses present, R. Greenleaf Organics, a local cannabis dispensary, showed off a trailer modified to look like a pirate ship, equipped with costumes for the crew.

Two participants watch the parade pass by, wearing matching outfits and face paint.

Daddys, an LGBTQ inclusive community focused on leather, kinks and BDSM. Almost all floats were decorated with rainbow streamers and LGBTQ pride flags.

After the parade, visitors kept

the festivities going at Expo New Mexico by supporting local artists and food vendors. Guests also attended performances courtesy of the 2018 New Mexico Title Holders, mariachi bands and many more.

Javier Leo is a sophomore at the

University of New Mexico studying medical laboratory sciences.

He attended and participated in the Pride Parade. Wrapping a pride flag around his shoulders, Leo said he came “to celebrate (his) pride of being a gay man.”

Leo said he arrived at 10 a.m. and “half-and-half” marched with the parade and later cheered on from the sides.

Leo said he had fun at the parade and hopes events like this will “achieve equality in...the community itself and equality that everyone accepts in everyone.”

Ernesto Martinez, a parole officer, attended the Pride Parade. He said he thought the parade was beautiful.

“I hope that it achieves equal rights, an understanding that everyone has equal rights, that we’re all God’s children,” Martinez said.

“We all gotta love each other and teach acceptance of each other and one another.”

Martinez also said events like this remember “loved ones that

have struggled in the past.”

“We want everyone to accept us,” he said. “We want people to accept us regardless of who we are.”

By noon, attendees filled Nob Hill restaurants, returned to their cars or marched with the last floats to Expo New Mexico. Cars reclaimed Central Avenue as soon as City of Albuquerque Employees collected trash and cleaned confetti and pamphlets from the street.

On June 7, Albuquerque Pride hosted a candlelight vigil to celebrate life at Morningside Park. As a prelude to Pride Fest, Albuquerque Pride hosted a night of dancing, music and fun at Expo New Mexico on June 8.

Class on Queer History offered at UNM this Fall

By Donald Amble @Deambler During the Fall 2018 semester Professor Luis Campos at the University of New Mexico will be teaching an undergraduate class on queer history. Campos has been teaching the class to undergraduate and graduate students since the Fall 2017 semester.

While the history department offers courses that discuss the history of sex and sexuality, Campos

said he believes one can look at this concept from a myriad of angles.

“Different things come into focus when you use a different analytical frame,” Campos said.

The scope of the course is ambitiously large. Its description reads: “Cultural contexts to be explored in the first half of the term will range from ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome, through medieval Middle Eastern, Arabic, and European contexts, through to the Renaissance and Enlightenment.

In the second half of the term, particular attention will be paid to the

development of modern categories of the ‘homosexual.’”

Campos said the number of topics covered is necessary.

“Developing a historical perspective will make students better placed to evaluate and critically appreciate the place of queer sexualities in our modern world,” Campos said.

The historical perspective Campos said he hopes to place his students in examines the development of queer identity over time as opposed to the actions of specific queer individuals.

“Queer history is not just a list of names and dates — queer history is fundamentally about identities, experiences, oppressions, accommodations, connections, causes, movements and moments of liberation,” Campos said.

Because of this focus on the collective history of queer groups, he said queer history can be confused with other courses on sex and sexuality.

“Queer history certainly intersects in important ways with other courses on the history of sex, gender or sexuality,” Campos said. “However this only provides one analytical

frame (that) is broad — the analytical frame this class uses is more narrow.”

Registration for this course is currently open to undergraduate students, and the UNM course catalog lists no prerequisite courses.

Trump the politician — anti-immigration vs. anti-abortion Editor,

In early June, Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission (“the gay wedding cake case”) soaked up most of the Supreme Court decision media limelight, even though (or perhaps because) the court’s ruling doesn’t really dispose of the major issues in the case. Another case, also not decided on its merits, got much

less attention. But that case reveals conflicting priorities in, and signals from, the Trump administration.

In Hargan v. Garza, a pregnant teen immigrant (“Jane Doe”) in federal detention was forbidden

by Trump administration policy to procure an abortion (at her own expense or with voluntary assistance from others, not on the taxpayer’s dime). SCOTUS dismissed the matter as “moot” because Doe’s supporters took her to a clinic for the procedure in the middle of the night, after a supportive lower court ruling and before the federal government could appeal that ruling.

Donald Trump and his administration have tirelessly worked to find, detain and deport immigrants who don’t get permission slips from politicians before coming here to enrich America’s culture and boost its economy. In particular, we’ve heard plenty of invective from Trump about “chain migration,” “anchor babies,” and “birthright citizenship.”

When it comes to abortion, on the other hand, Trump has been much less consistent. He went from sponsoring National Abortion Rights Action League (1989) to declaring himself “very pro-choice” (1999), to suddenly becoming ardently “pro-life” during his failed

first presidential campaign (for the Reform Party’s 2000 nomination; he dropped out when he realized he was going to lose to Pat Buchanan, from whom he’s shamelessly cribbed ever since). But as late as 2016, he opined to CBS that “at this moment, the laws are set. And I think we have to leave it that way.”

Trump’s position on immigration is seemingly long-held and consistent.

Consistently wrong, but consistent.

His position on abortion, though, is transparently political and changes as politics requires.

Hargan v. Garza tells us which side Trump really thinks his bread is buttered on — the politics as usual,

grease the squeaky pro-life wheel side. His administration holds, that pregnant immigrants absolutely, positively, must be forced to deliver shiny new “birthright citizens,” even if they’re willing to pay for their own abortions.

I wonder what his “build the wall, deport them all” base thinks about that?

Supreme Court decision is about more than cake

By Kyle Land @kyleoftheland Let’s get one thing straight: I’m gay and I don’t like cake.

This simple pastry, though, has come to symbolize the fight for full and complete LGBTQ equality in recent years.

Just a few days ago, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 7-2 in favor of a baker who refused to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex couple in Colorado in 2012, with an incredibly vague opinion that does little to help defenders of LGBTQ rights or religious liberties.

The vague and wordy nature of the court’s opinion does not lend itself to easy understanding. It seems to say everything and yet nothing about the issue the case brings up — discrimination vs. religious liberties. It acknowledges the various issues queer people face, but does nothing to remedy those very same problems.

The opinion of the court, written by Justice Anthony Kennedy, states that the reason for siding with the baker was the handling of the case by the Colorado Civil Rights Commission (CCRC) saying that they “did not do so with the religious neutrality the Constitution requires.”

Basically, because of the “religious hostility” exhibited by the CCRC, it was deemed the baker did not have a fair trial. What the court never elaborates on, though, is whether or not the state can require a baker to make a cake for LGBTQ people. In fact, it states that “the outcome of cases like this must await further elaboration in the courts.”

Even though the opinion never states that the baker had the right to deny service to the couple, the perception it creates certainly does. For many, especially those who did not read the decision, it would appear that the court upheld

the baker’s freedom of religion, and that he can not be required to bake cakes for occasions that violate his religious beliefs.

Others point out the ruling came about due to the baker’s artistic expression through his cakes, something the court mentions but, again, never delivers a firm opinion on.

Here’s the thing: what’s at stake in this case goes far beyond one wedding cake. This was not brought before the Supreme Court so the Justices could discuss wedding plans from six years ago.

No, this case affects everything that LGBTQ people purchase. Gay couples have been denied home, loans, healthcare and even fired from their jobs because of who they are, all of which are far more consequential than some cake. In fact, only 20 states, including Colorado, offer anti-discrimination protection for all LGBTQ individuals, according to the Human Rights Campaign.

In an interview with CNN, legal expert Jeffrey Toobin points out how the court’s decision to wait on future cases invites further acts of discrimination. While this certainly was not the court’s intention, it is undoubtedly true.

Based on the vague nature of this ruling, employers and business owners may feel more empowered to use claims of religious freedom to deny services to gay people.

Such incidents already occur regularly around the country, but now may even circumvent what little anti-discrimination laws do exist.

While the gay couple could have just gone to another bakery, they shouldn’t have to, not only because it violates the law. Being told to your face that a product will not be sold to you because of your sexual orientation is a humiliating and infuriating experience. It’s like every bully you had in school reappears, making you feel bad for being different.

That’s an experience that no

person should ever have to go through, and condescendingly saying you’ll make them cupcakes, but not a wedding cake, only adds insult to injury.

If the court’s wish was for the case to not establish precedence while respecting the rights of the religious and LGBTQ communities, then that was not achieved. They would have been better off not taking the case at all.

Reconciling faith with LGBTQ identity

By Gabriella Rivera @gabbychlamps In early December of last year, I kissed a girl for the first time. It felt, among all the usual things associated with a kiss, as wholly natural as my first kiss with a guy years ago.

I had been dimly aware that I was not straight, but attracted to both sexes since my years in Catholic high school — it wasn’t until college that I consciously acknowledged it. By this time, I felt ready to tell my family, and from there, others. I remember thinking Christmas might be a good time.

Instead, I came out publicly Ash Wednesday of this year, which happened to fall on Valentine’s Day, after having told my family a couple days earlier. I met a friend, we went to a coffee shop, I made a Facebook post, and closed my laptop to enjoy my drink. I contemplated the responses I might get — the support, the backlash, the confusion. I felt peaceful with my sexuality and at ease knowing that I was no longer hiding it.

Mostly importantly, I finally felt a bit of pressure off the intense regret I felt from not telling my dad in time; just before Christmas, my father passed away very suddenly and very unexpectedly, leaving unimaginable emotional chaos for me and my family to navigate, and giving us the rest of our lives to ponder all the things that we wanted to say to him.

My father attended Notre Dame, where he was in the seminary for two years. Although he did not end up pursuing Catholic priesthood, his Catholic faith was something he held dear to him all of his life, and something he passed onto his family with passion, but never with force. As a result, my sisters and I were always happily involved with our Church and genuinely connected to our faith.

Despite his deep devotion to the church, my dad never hesitated to break with Catholic religious teaching when it conflicted with his personal faith. LGBTQ issues were among these breaks.

In various roles at UNM, he helped push policies like the preferred name initiative, and published articles on the topic, like a recent one on the plights of trans homeless youth of color.

He spent his life and his career following the principles formed by his faith, not handed to him by a branded religion. Confiding my regret to a friend after his passing, I remember her saying that he probably would have thrown a party to celebrate if I had gotten to tell him.

For me, even if dictionaries might use them interchangeably, faith and religion differ. When I think of religion, I think of the written rules and histories of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, etc. I think of dogma, recitation, sacra-

ments, traditions.

When I think of faith, I think of individual spirituality and your personal connection to the higher power you believe in. I think of genuine prayer, personal reflection, and the formation of a belief system and code of morality unique only to you.

Reconciling your LGBTQ identity with your religion may take years of gradual change and generations of activism, which I absolutely encourage you get involved in as I truly believe LGBTQ rights align with the core principles of every major religion.

With Catholicism, I believe the Church will eventually come to find that the dogma surrounding LGBTQ issues was created because of societal attitudes on the issue much more than it was grounded on actual theology.

Religious establishments are extremely resistant to change, but progress has been made, and will continue to be.

Reconciling your LGBTQ identity with your faith, however, is something you can start working on today, whether you came out years ago or can’t fathom coming out any time soon. It begins with deciding for yourself that your creator did not make a mistake when she made you gay, or transgender, or queer, or however you identify.

A large part of this comes from

Colton Newman /@cnewman101/ Daily Lobo

your own conscience, an important concept especially in Catholicism.

For me, it never felt for a moment that who I am is wrong in God’s eyes. Concealing her creation felt like a much greater sin.

My coming out post concluded, “This Lenten season, I resolve to begin letting love occupy the places I’ve always housed fear.” I haven’t fully accomplished that, as I still fear attracting hate from many angles as I move forward in my life and career, and I especially still fear that the Catholic community I love might turn its back on me.

But under that post, instead of seeing disappointment and negativity from conservative friends and their parents, and from old clergy, teachers and faculty from the Catholic schools I attended, the comments reflected only love and support.

I encourage you to give your faith community the benefit of the doubt. I encourage you to reconcile yourself to your identity first, so that any disapproval you encounter from family, friends and society are met with peace and not uncertainty. I especially encourage you to pray, and trust that while people may cite religion to fuel their hate, the god you believe in finds no fault in you.

A queer analysis of Frank Ocean’s music

By Shayla Cunico @ShaylaCunico.

Music’s most elusive act, Christopher Edwin Breaux, also known as Frank Ocean, has taken the world of music to new depths with not only his incomparable lyricism, but the vulnerability that he expresses through them.

Throughout his career, Ocean has become more open with expressing his sexuality through his art. In July of 2012, Ocean decided to make his first statement addressing his sexuality through an open letter on his Tumblr page. He explained that his first love was indeed a man and gave a detailed account of his loss of love they experienced.

Shortly after his letter was published, his debut album, “Channel Orange,” was released. The letter quickly came into play when listening to the the lyrics on the album’s

livestream of an empty warehouse where he began to build a wooden staircase that became the visual album, “Endless.” The visual album featured a song titled “Comme des Garçons,” the seventh track on the visual album that translates to “likes boys” in French. This became a favorite of many of Ocean’s fans, and a testament to the queer themes throughout his music.

These themes are also prevalent throughout “Blonde” as well.

The most noticeable being the difference between the official title of the album and the title on the album art. The long awaited album’s official title is “Blonde,” with an “e,” a word that describes a female with fair hair. The title on the album art is “Blond” without an “e,” which describes a male with fair hair. And although these differences are subtle, they are very intentional to Ocean’s artistic vision and the queer/gender-fluid themes throughout his entire discography.

When he dropped “Nikes,” the

first single off of “Blonde,” he accompanied it with a music video. In the music video, Ocean bares a glittering face and eye makeup that showed Ocean’s feminine side, rather than the masculine side he normally portrays. Throughout the rest of the album, queer themes continue.

He is no longer shying away from his authentic self, and it shows not only in his art, but in the different people he inspires.

Ocean’s lyrics and art are some of the most intentional and in depth pieces of work that I have ever experienced as both an appreciative fan and open listener. A listener who is open to and welcomes queer themes and gender fluidity, a listener who would have little to no knowledge about it otherwise. I’m thankful for the conversation that he has opened up around freedom of expression of yourself and themes that would not be relevant in hip-hop and R&B otherwise.

Students interested in scheduling an appointment can log on to

the Student Health Portal that can be found on the SHAC’s website.

When arriving to the appointment, students will immediately take the test and spend about 30 minutes to an hour waiting for results. If a

student comes back positive, the SHAC hosts an on-cite education session and offers resources specific to each student’s diagnosis.

All of these resources are free to students and are completely confi-

dential between the service provider and the patient.

second song, “Thinkin Bout You.” The lyrics are speculated to be a reference to the first male love discussed in the letter— “You know you were my first time, a new feel.”

With this being the second song on the album, Ocean left room for him to expand on his exploration of his sexuality throughout the rest of the album.

On track 16, “Forrest Gump,” fans were quick to point out that Ocean was singing from the perspective of Jenny, Forrest Gump’s love-interest. Taking inspiration from the infamous, “Run Forrest, Run,” Ocean sings “you run my mind boy/running on my mind boy.”

“Channel Orange” was only the beginning of Ocean being transparent with his sexuality. After a four year hiatus, Ocean came back with a visual album titled, “Endless,” a zine titled, “Boys Don’t Cry” and a second studio album, “Blonde.”

Afterward, Ocean linked his fans to an unexpected eerie
