EDITOR’S NOTE

If you don’t already know, the Pride celebration was born out of rebellion - an absolute refusal to lay down for oppressors. Drag Queens, Lesbians, Trans, and Queer folks took a stand against a swarm of police officers inside a small bar and simply said “no more.” The police had come to raid the bar for serving queer customers. The protesters’ actions would later become known as the Stonewall Riots of 1969. Their actions have taught us, the heirs of that precious Queer History, that we’re born from a tenacious fighting spirit. But as much as we are born out of that fierce defiance, the spirit of that rebellion also shows that we are born from profound love. When we choose freedom over living in the proverbial closet (when we choose life), we choose to love ourselves unconditionally, despite the cost. When we step into a queer bar and choose to surround ourselves with others like us - we choose to love our community. And that love is not singular; everyone there has made the same choice we did. So that love reverberates ten-fold, a hundred-fold, and fills up all the space in between that we cannot see. But even though we can’t see it, I assure you, we can certainly feel it. It is in large part what makes the LGBTQ+ community so special.

This community loves deeply, so when it loses a pillar - a figurehead of that community - it also mourns deeply. Jeffery Robinson embodied Pride through his tenacity, his grit to keep fighting for a safe space in the Central Valley for

over 30 years, and his immense love for his community. His loss is forever etched in the hearts of many who will mourn his absence for many years to come.

I grew up in the small military town of Lemoore, where there were no gay bars and no gay mentors. The ‘Gay Straight Alliance’ club at our high school was treated as a joke - literally, many of the students only joined to make fun of it. Queer kids had nothing. I had nothing - real support didn’t exist.

It was a revelation to find out Fresno had a Pride parade and celebration. Have you ever seen the movie Pleasantville? The one where people get trapped in a 50s TV show and the whole world is in black and white, and everyone’s mind gets blown when color starts seeping into their lives? Going to Pride for the first time was like that. It was like waking up from a coma or finally breathing again after holding in your breath for a really long time - it was suddenly feeling less alone in the world, feeling connected. I felt I could finally start understanding who I was and who I wanted to be.

I have Jeffery to thank for that - he was at the helm of bringing Pride to Fresno for three decades. Without his profound love for the community, so many of us may have never found our way. He was the lighthouse in the dark, helping to steer those of us wandering at sea away from unnecessary destruction. My only hope is to somehow carry that light, that torch forward in honor of Pride and in honor of Jeffery.

PRIDE MARCHES ON

Twoyears ago, Fresno Rainbow Pride turned 30. Unfortunately, the parade and festival were put on hold due to COVID lockdowns and restrictions on social gatherings. Instead, it was replaced with virtual events, drive-in performances, and Zoom parties. When the Flyer spoke with Fresno Rainbow Pride founder and unofficial “Gay Mayor of Fresno” Jeffery Robinson last year, the setback did not diminish his excitement and optimism.

“Pride is so much more than just the parade and partying. It’s a spiritual recharge,” Robinson said. “For many people in the community, it’s a rare opportunity to express who they truly are without fear or judgment and interact with others who share the same experiences.”

Guided by that sentiment, the 2020 and 2021 Pride celebrations embraced social media, YouTube, and virtual technology like never before to continue the 30-year tradition of providing Fresno’s LGBTQ+ community and allies a place to come together, support each other, and get that much-needed spiritual recharge. And while the Virtual Pride events were a huge success, Robinson eagerly anticipated the return of the traditional parade and festival.

“I can tell you this,” Robinson beamed, “when we can finally get together in person again, it’s going to be an absolute blowout!”

Sadly, it would be a celebration that Robinson wouldn’t get to see. Jeffery Robinson tragically and unexpectedly passed away in March. His death shook the community and left Fresno Rainbow Pride without its beloved founder and captain of the ship. However, in a true testament to Robinson’s leadership, the festival committee rallied together to do what he would have wanted them to - make sure the

show still went on.

Tracie Cisneros is the Volunteer Coordinator for Fresno Rainbow Pride. Less than an hour after hearing the news of Robinson’s passing, she and the rest of the committee were sitting in a room together, collecting their thoughts, consoling each other, and strategizing.

“There was no way we were going to let Jeffery or the community down by letting any part of the festival fall to the wayside,” Cisneros said, adding, “Jeffery would have been very disappointed in us if we didn’t keep our focus.”

While Robinson could no longer be with his team physically, his presence was still felt by everyone at Fresno Rainbow Pride. His strength and spirit inspired the team to carry on with renewed vigor. The obvious first decision was to make this year’s festival a celebration of Robinson’s life and legacy.

“We have decided to make Jeffery a grand marshal in our parade this year. We are foregoing the usual grand marshal selection process and have decided instead to choose Jeffery and several other community activists and leaders who we lost in the last two years,” Cisneros explains.

In addition to Robinson, Fresno Rainbow Pride will honor Susan Kuhn, Zoyer Zyndel, Patty Colucci, Toni Harrison, Mark McKay, Andrew Strambi, and Ron and Jerry Hendrix. They made a difference and helped create safe and welcoming spaces for the Central Valley’s LGBTQ+ community.

This year’s attendees will see some significant changes in the look and layout of the festival events. The parade will still take place on Olive Ave, as it always has. However, the festival has outgrown its previous spot close to the parade route. So it is moving to a new location at Fresno City College. This new space at the college will be bigger and filled with much more entertainment, food vendors, and booths than ever before. Live music, DJs, drag performers, a beer garden,

and some of the best food in the valley will be there. Along with the larger space comes grassy and shady areas and lots of open space for people to get together, relax, and enjoy the day.

The committee also wanted to ensure attendees would have no problem getting from the parade to the festival area. So they partnered up with Fresno County Economic Opportunities Commission to provide shuttle buses between locations. These buses will run regularly throughout the day, shuttling visitors from the parade site to Fresno City College and back again if necessary.

Having a new, bigger location to fit even more food, vendors, and entertainment couldn’t come at a better time. After two years of Zoom parties and virtual events, the turnout is expected to be bigger than ever. And a bigger than ever celebration means the need for volunteers in all areas has never been greater.

“Unfortunately, the two-year gapas well as ongoing concerns about COVID - may have cost us some folks. But we’ve gained some fresh faces too,“ Cisneros observed. “We definitely still need a lot of volunteers.”

One of Robinson’s founding principles for Fresno Rainbow Pride was a commitment to community outreach and volunteerism, and it’s one that Cisneros says they’re still firmly focused on. Volunteer recruitment is ongoing, and they plan to increase their outreach to spread the word even more over the coming weeks. Currently, their greatest need is for volunteers to help with setting up, tearing down, parade route maintenance, and cleanup.

Fresno Rainbow Pride’s parade and festival committee hold their meetings every Monday at 6:30 PM at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, located at 2101 Fruit St in Fresno. In addition, they conduct a hybrid meeting so people can join through Zoom. They are always searching for new faces with fresh ideas and contacts that they may not

have already made in the community. For more information about Fresno Rainbow Pride, including ways to volunteer services or donate resources, visit their website: www.fresnorainbowpride.com. Anyone interested in volunteering can also email Tracie Cisneros at tracie.fresnorainbowpride@ gmail.com.

Robinson’s work in community outreach was perhaps most focused on connecting with LGBTQ+ youth. He was committed to ensuring that all LGBTQ+ youth in the Central Valley had a space where they could feel safe, welcome, and free from judgment. This focus resonates particularly strongly with Cisneros.

“As an ally and as a mother of a rainbow child, my hope for Fresno Rainbow Pride, now and in our future, is to maintain our focus on the youth in our community,” Cisneros relates. “Bringing them closer to the organization and exposing them to the work that it takes to make all of this happen. In doing so, I would hope to educate them about the struggle and the fights that had to be won so that they could be here at this moment.”

It was his belief in finding the strength as a community to come together and face any adversity headon that perhaps best defines Robinson’s legacy. In his parting words ahead of last year’s Virtual Pride, when asked about COVID restrictions creating yet another obstacle to celebrating Pride. Robinson stated matter-of-factly, “This is what we do. We adapt. We overcome. We take whatever life throws at us, and we come back stronger than ever because we do it together.”

In his words, “Our strength is in each other. Celebrating the power of inclusion and acceptance - that’s what Pride is all about.”

My First Pride

BeforeI knew I was gay, I was attending my high school’s Gay-Straight Alliance club in the conservative town of Hanford, California. I was lucky enough to grow up with parents who had fought their demons over LGBTQ+ people, having come to accept, love, and understand them. They did so much to instill that acceptance in me, and I joined the club because I thought it was important. However, I never gave much thought to my own sexuality or gender until a couple years later. Since then, I’ve bounced around quite a few different labels in an attempt to find something that felt like “me.” But now I feel like I know who I am, and it brings me peace.

My name is Kyle, and I know I’m a non-binary lesbian. But at almost 25 years

Remembering Jeffery

Last year, I had the privilege of interviewing Jeffery Robinson ahead of the second year of virtual Pride events due to the COVID lockdown. As with every interview I’ve done, I was nervous and unsure how our conversation would go. I looked at my questions, double and triple-checked them, convinced myself they were good, and then my phone rang, and our interview began.

What I had guessed would be a 30-minute to maybe an hour-long interview turned into a 3-hour conversation. The man I was worried might not like my questions ended up giving me an invaluable lesson in Queer history. His knowledge and insight

old, I’m a bit late to the Pride parade scene compared to many queer people my age. It’s hard finding people to go with around here. Or, at least that’s what I tell myself. Though I never bothered to keep in contact with my old GSA friends, and I never made an effort to look for clubs in college. Truthfully, I was still discovering myself and figuring out where I fit in the community.

I first looked into the Fresno Pride Parade back in the spring of 2020, and as we all know, that didn’t end up being a great year for large gatherings. By that time, I was comfortable in my skin and identity, and I was becoming more interested in other people’s journeys into self-discovery. The book “Stone Butch Blues” by Leslie Feinberg changed my life. It wasn’t just about what it was like to be a lesbian; it was about finding your community and organizing and resisting as kindred spirits. I wanted the kind of camaraderie that the book’s protagonist, Jesse, found in lesbian bars and workers’ unions. I wanted to be a part of something. So the Pride parade felt like a good first step toward immersing myself in the world of my people. Unfortunately, the pandemic put my plans to a halt. However, I still carried with me that desire for community and action. That’s why it’s crucial for me to finally attend this year’s Pride parade in the Tower District—and espe-

cially the Tower District. Not only are the people attending this parade my siblings in queerness, but they’re also my neighbors. They want to make my home a better place. I held a certain level of bitterness in my heart for the rigid political leanings of the Central Valley, but I’m coming to the realization that there are people like me in this community, too. People who are accepting and loving. I just have to seek them out.

Jesse never completely figured out their identity by the end of “Stone Butch Blues,” and I think that’s an essential point of the story. I feel confident in who I am now, but I know that someday that may change, and I might find different labels that fit me better. I used to stress about that, but now I see that it doesn’t really matter what I call myself or who I want to be. What really matters is fighting for what’s right and the people I meet along the way. To me, being queer is about making the world a better place for everyone. That means standing up for ALL disenfranchised people, not just those I identify with.

I know I have a lot of work to do to better myself and the world around me, but I’m taking small steps toward doing what’s right. The Pride parade in Fresno means the world to me because I can immerse myself in the community I’ve been craving. I spent too long thinking I needed to be invited into my own community when I just needed to make my presence known. And that’s precisely what I plan to do.

were profound. His enthusiasm was infectious. His passion was inspiring. And his spirit was indomitable.

Jeffery had been fighting for Queer acceptance almost as long as I have been alive. He founded Fresno Rainbow Pride and organized the first Pride parade in Fresno when I was a freshman in High School. He fought tirelessly against hate and bigotry for over 30 years and never gave up. In the face of all that adversity, he never lost his spirit. The love he held for the LGBTQ+ community - especially Queer youth and those struggling to find their identity - was so pure, genuine, and unfaltering. He was called the “Gay Mayor of

Fresno,” and he was the most natural leader I’d ever met.

I could have listened to him talk about his life’s journey all day long. But unfortunately, a dying phone battery and a hungry 3-year-old tugging at my sleeve brought our conversation to a reluctant end. To this day, Jeffery is my favorite interview I’ve ever done. He made me laugh, he made me think, he educated me, and he made me feel like an old friend. One 3-hour conversation was enough to leave an impression I will never forget.

Masks For Dummies XXII

Dearest reader, about two years ago, we started this Masks for Dummies (MFD) ad hoc column series. We did that because we needed and truly wanted to do our part in the effort to save lives in our community during a deadly pandemic— plain and simple. And, because of you, we made a difference. Thank you.

But it’s not what you think. Our battle wasn’t against this horrible SARSCoV-2 virus—no—instead, our struggle was with the disinformation and fake news surrounding this pernicious SARS-CoV-2.

And there’s been too many casualties.

Let’s face it; there are a lot of dumb people out there. And, especially back at the beginning of the pandemic, there were even more. This series is dedicated to them. But unfortunately, we lost a lot of them in this epic coronavirus war—a war waged on the battlefields of social community spaces where modern humans and their fancy technology congregate. But their fancy technology couldn’t save them against their archnemesis, the infinitesimal spiked infectious protein bag of RNA - the coronavirus.

To date, over 993,717 dear Americans have died because of Covid after 81,358,000 coronavirus infections.

Last month, I had predicted that we’d already hit one million deaths by the end of April. Thank God I was wrong.

Thankfully, our current Covid infection rate and death toll have declined. According to a recent interview by Dr. Fauci, President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the United States is “certainly, right now, in this country, out of the pandemic phase.”

What does this mean?

“Namely, we don’t have 900,000 new infections a day and tens and tens and tens of thousands of hospitalizations and thousands of deaths. We are at a low level right now. So if you’re saying, are we out of the pandemic phase in this country? We are,” Dr. Fauci explained.

But, what does this not mean?

Well, it does not mean that the pandemic is over. Read that again. We’re still

in it.

Just ask the friends and family of the 26 poor souls here in Fresno County since last month who recently lost their battle with Covid. We’re still in it. They know it’s still dangerous. Since last month, we’ve had about 2,268 new Covid infections—a 1% increase, about 77 new infections each day.

Dr. Fauci clarified what he meant: “We’re not over the pandemic. Don’t let anybody get the misinterpretation that the pandemic is over, but what we are in is a different phase of the pandemic—A phase that’s a transition phase, hopefully headed toward more of a control where you can actually get back to some form of normality without total disruption of society, economically, socially, school-wise, etc.,” he said.

Last month, I shared what Fresno County Interim Health Officer Dr. Rais Vohra had to say about our progress: “Right now, it appears that the numbers are under control,” he reassured the county. However, he emphasized, “people should keep in mind that could change. We have to be agile and flexible. We understand how things could get worse because we’ve been there before...”

Dr. Fauci has shared the same sentiment. He pointed out: “So what we need to do is continue to be vigilant, to follow the CDC guidelines, to do the kinds of things that protect you: get vaccinated, if you’re not vaccinated; get boosted if you’re eligible for a boost. If you do get infected, be aware that there is availability of antivirals.”

Thankfully, we are now at a final stage of the pandemic where sweeping government mandates do not overpower individual choice. There was a time when mandates were crucial to preserving life. But today, we have the virus under better control thanks to our technological advances in vaccines and respirator masks. Dr. Fauci acknowledged: “In general, the risk is low,” but he cautioned: “Each of us, in our own personal way, has to make an assessment of what risk you’re willing to accept about getting infected.”

The virus is still out there. Don’t be mistaken. The difference now is that we

have the weapons of protection—vaccines and respirator masks—more readily available and accessible to combat it. But, if we don’t use these weapons, then we remain as vulnerable as ever. So don’t be fooled into thinking you’re naturally invincible to Covid when you’re definitely not. As Drs. Fauci and Vohra have advised that we need to tread carefully around the coronavirus and take every precaution against it. After almost two grueling years of writing about it, I have to tell you I’m still so excited about masks—respirator masks. Of course, I’m talking about the N95 lifesaving Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that we’ve been discussing for over 22 consecutive installments. They save lives! As you already know, N95s (and other similar models) filter out about 95% of all tiny particulate matter when properly worn, making them highly effective in keeping tiny particles like the coronavirus out of your airways. They work.

It’s the design that makes all the difference. And we have Sara Little Turnbull to thank for it. Called “Little Sara” for short and “corporate America’s secret weapon,’ this powerful little woman, standing at only 4’11,” was the brilliant designer and innovator behind this lifesaving tool. You may have wondered what the shape of the N95 respirator resembles or what it was designed after. It looks like a round cup. Wonder no more—it was shaped after Little Sara’s prototype for her bra cups. How creative!

Necessity, they say, is the mother of invention and innovation. But, not only that—having heart is an essential part of the equation. Little Sara realized that doctors and nurses needed better facial protection at hospitals. She had the heart to do something about it. We’re all indebted to her.

I’m a dummy for a mask like that.

the power of compromise and a Bouquet of flowers

I. smiley G. Calderón is a Gen X Chicano and lifelong educator who spent a career in academia in Southern California, but is most proud of being a father.

Compromise - the lovely ten-letter word that so often eludes us when we are in the throes of a heated discussion or disagreement.

When was the last time you were on the brink of concluding a conversation only to find reaching a compromise was the inevitable and reasonable conclusion? Compromise can be just the life jacket a relationship, office meeting, or family rivalry needs.

The definition of compromise is to agree to settle a dispute, arriving at a solution and understanding. However, and all too often, parties may choose to rationalize to the point of agreeing to disagree. Compromise requires listening, learning, and debating the topic, hopefully with little or no distress and condemnation. The world would be a better place without hurtful words thrown like stones. But, so often, it boils down to the loss of control, feeling powerless for fear of the unknown.

Do you feel judged when trying to reach a compromise?

“Do not judge and you will not be judged. Do not condemn and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” (Matthew 7:1)

Techniques to consider in reaching a compromise:

We can’t possibly know what the other person is going through or living with, nor do they know us. Listen, and be patient with all concerns on the topic

in review. Nobody likes to be dictated to. Make it a team effort, whether it’s a group of ten or only two people. (a couple, a family, a staff meeting).

What is the goal everyone is aiming for?

• If they are different goals, break them down, focus on the most urgent, and work your way down the list.

• Write it all down and agree on the top 3 to start.

• Give copies to all involved, and everyone initials their document.

Solution-focus results in a reasonably adequate compromise and one that will hold the test of time.

The month of May blossoms in a glory of color and fragrances as the season turns to Spring and we experience the revival of flora. So, give a little compromise and bring a bouquet of flowers to the table. It is just the ticket for harmony, kindness, and gratitude as it reflects empathy in the utmost for those we love and the ones we work with closely.

VICTORY! (we hope.) Now what happens?

Thestruggle for control of the Tower Theatre entered a new phase on April 21, as the Fresno City Council voted to buy the theater from its current owner, Laurence Abbate. While city ownership is a positive step forward, the fight is not yet over. Instead, the council vote sets up a new set of conflicts that will need sorting before the Tower Theatre is truly safe.

The proposal to buy the theater squeaked by on a 4-3 vote after nearly a full day of public comment in city council chambers. The hearing included heartfelt testimony from Tower District defenders, angry shouting, heckling by Adventure Church partisans, and at least one spontaneous sermon from an overexcited preacher.

As you would expect, the sole argument from the supporters of Adventure Church was that any solution that did not leave the church in complete control of the Tower Theatre was religious persecution on a scale not seen since the height of the Spanish Inquisition. However, that claim was soundly rejected by several Christian ministers who voiced support for the city’s acquisition of the theater and preservation of the unique, queer-affirming culture of the Tower District.

For those of you keeping score on which council members are friends of the Tower District, the members in favor of saving the Tower Theatre were Miguel Arias, Nelson Esparza, Tyler Maxwell, and Esmeralda Soria. The votes against the proposal were Garry Bredefeld, Luis Chavez, and Mike Karbassi. You might want to remember that when you vote in city council elections this year.

The deal that the city council approved attempts to make a comprehensive settlement of all outstanding property disputes. Consequently, the agreement has a lot of moving parts. Here’s what it contains:

—The city will buy the Tower Theatre from Laurence Abbate for $6.5 million.

—Sequoia Brewing Company will buy its building and lot from the city for $1.2 million.

—However, Sequoia will receive credits for repairs and legal fees that will reduce their net purchase price to $950,000.

—Sequoia will waive its first right of refusal to buy the Tower Theatre property to allow this deal to move forward.

—The city will open the Tower Theatre parking lot as public parking.

—The city will pay for the Tower Theatre out of general funds and Measure P funds. (Measure P funds, financed by retail sales taxes, are earmarked for support of the arts and parks and recreation purposes.)

—The city will indemnify Laurence Abbate and Sequoia from litigation by Adventure Church.

—Laurence Abbate will continue to manage the Tower Theatre for one year and receive $8,000 a month from the city for his services.

The indemnification provision shows that the city fully expects Adventure Church to sue. Sure enough, within days of the proposal, Adventure Church’s lawyer issued a statement threatening to sue the city. Adventure’s lawyer made as much drama as possible of the threat of a lawsuit, waving claims of religious persecution once again and calling the city’s purchase of the theater “financially reckless.”

It makes for a good press release, but it’s not immediately clear whether Adventure Church even has any standing to sue. Adventure Church has not suffered any material harm by Laurence Abbate finding another buyer. Adventure never completed its purchase of the theater, and they have never owned any interest in the building. Adventure Church has had its hopes dashed and its pride wounded, but you can’t sue on those grounds.

The key legal question seems to be whether Adventure’s purchase contract from November 2020 is still in effect. Laurence Abbate and the city say Adventure’s deal has been dead since they let their escrow expire in March 2021; Adventure’s lawyer insists the contract is still open and in effect.

It should be noted that Adventure launched a lawsuit against Laurence Abbate in February of this year for not disclosing Sequoia’s first right of refusal in November 2020. On the one hand, Adventure concedes that Sequoia did have the first right of refusal; on the other hand, Adventure also argues that its contract is still in effect. This is trying to have it both ways. Suppose Sequoia did indeed have the first right of refusal. In that case, it could be argued that Adventure’s purchase contract was never valid. Well, we’ll see how all this works out in court.

But even if Adventure does not prevail in its litigation against the city, there remain plenty of questions about what will happen next. For example, how long will it be before the city effectively controls the Tower Theatre? When will Adventure Church be barred from holding weekly Sunday services at the theater? And after Abbate’s one-year management contract expires, how will the city manage the theater?

The city has a terrible track record of mismanaging theater venues — just look at the current state of the Veterans Memorial Auditorium and the Saroyan Theatre. Once the city has possession of the Tower Theatre, the next phase of community struggle will be to ensure that the community decides who will use the theater, not some soulless L.A. promotions company. The ideal solution would be to put theater management in the hands of a community-based arts nonprofit organization that represents artists and residents.

Like all real-life victories, the city purchase of the Tower Theatre is messy, somewhat unsatisfying, and provokes a lot of concerns. But it is a victory, and that should be celebrated.
