EDITOR’S NOTE The Fourth of July has split us down the middle. Have you noticed? Half of America is staunch in its view that there is nothing wrong with this country or its traditions. And the other half refuses to back down from the glaring flaws of the country’s history, insisting that we reconcile our past. Certainly, some out there prefer to smile and act as though they don’t have a dog in either fight. I don’t blame them – the political discourse has been exhausting. But the majority of any social encounter these days will land you in contact with one faction or another. Whether any of us want to be part of the conversation is becoming increasingly irrelevant by the day. Every one of us does have a dog in the fight, so to speak. I’m not saying you have to choose a side on every issue, if you stand anywhere at all. What I am asking you to do is research the argument. Put your finger on the pulse. None of us can really afford not to anymore. And, please, do me a favor – read beyond the headlines. Almost any issue worth a meaningful discussion is never as simple as a clever headline. Granted, some are very black and white, but many require reading/listening beyond one article or video. It takes some digging. Americans are very much at odds with one another. And two hundred and fifty years

after declaring our independence, we’re still struggling to figure out who we are. But we’re not going to discover what that identity is by ignoring the conversation, or worse, by jumping to conclusions. Instead, we need to do the work. Shouting, “well, if you don’t like it, you can just leave,” isn’t a solution or even a good response. The most American thing we can do when we don’t like something is to change it by voting, advocating for policy changes, by protesting… by rebelling. Doing the work means researching the roots of the issues by taking a deep and difficult look at our history. We cannot shy away from the ugly realities of it. Millions of Americans still feel the impacts of those injustices because it’s embedded in their heritage – loss of culture, land, rights, language, and entire branches of their family tree. Unlike some, they don’t have the option of choosing to look away and accept a different history. New generations inherit that pain because the rest of us have chosen the alternative. The longer we leave those wounds open, the more fractured we become. What was it Maya Angelou said? Oh yes, “You can’t really know where you are going until you know where you have been.” But I would respectfully add that we can’t move forward until we acknowledge and atone for what we’ve done.

Shows Are Back! By Dave Fountinelle | dave@fresnoflyer.com

alifornia’s economy officially reopened without restrictions on June 15th. This means an end to mandated social distancing, capacity limits, and masking for those who have received the vaccine. It also means bars, nightclubs, and concert venues may open at full capacity again. Live entertainment is finally returning after over a year on hiatus. To say the last 15 months have been difficult for the music industry would be a gross understatement. This has been a ruthless time for everyone involved in the business. While stimulus aimed at rescuing live venues and assisting struggling self-employed entertainers was eventually approved, months into the pandemic, it came too late for many. It has been estimated that the average artist lost 2/3rds of their income due to the moratorium on live performances. The industry, in general, saw a revenue decline of nearly 20%, with music venues and movie theaters being hit the hardest. Movie theater revenues plummeted by over 75% in 2020 compared to 2019. Over 300 independent music venues were forced to close their doors permanently. Nearly 300,000 venue employees, roughly 95% of all venue workers, lost their jobs. This, despite the $15 billion in direct relief from the Save Our Stages Act (SOS) that passed in December 2020. By the time the relief bill was signed, much of the damage to independent venues had already been done. Locally, the impact of the COVID pandemic on live entertainment has been devastating. In most any other state, Fresno would be considered a reasonably major market. But, here in California, Fresno sits in the shadow of two of the largest entertainment hubs in the country, Los Angeles and the Bay Area. The Save Mart Center has been a draw

for many major touring acts, and venues like Strummer’s and Fulton 55 have been solid draws for smaller, independent national acts. However, Fresno simply did not have the same depth of financial support for its entertainment economy to weather the 15-month shutdown. For Eddy Burgos, lead promoter for Numbskull Productions, the pandemic all but shut down his business entirely. “Our situation has been mighty bleak,” he relates, “the operation as a whole has been in shutdown mode with only one staff member on board for damage control.” Burgos has been running the business remotely from Istanbul while it and the rest of the industry sat in a financial coma waiting anxiously for a light at the end of the pandemic tunnel. But, unfortunately, that light seemed less and less likely to materialize each month that the shutdown dragged on. “Our industry as a whole has been devastated, not just economically but mentally as well. This has been an incredibly stressful and depressing time for all of us,” Burgos adds. Musician and songwriter Travis Brooks is one of the many local artists who found himself also having to adapt to the statewide venue closures quickly. As someone who depended on regular bookings at various venues all over the valley for the majority of his income, the shutdown was a huge financial blow. “It’s hard to put an exact number on what this has cost me because you have to consider things like tips or random pickup gigs that I would get because someone saw me perform and wanted to hire me for an event. Even studio session work was affected due to | FRESNOFLYER.COM |

non-essential business closures,” Brooks explains. “What the pandemic cost me that was more valuable in my opinion than a paycheck was opportunity,” Brooks continues, “I was set to perform at three county fairs, festivals with big-name country and rock artists, and probably the toughest thing was losing the chance to fly to Washington DC and perform at the National Mall for an event called “Rolling Thunder.” Rolling Thunder was to be an allstar country music festival for an audience of tens of thousands of military veterans and their friends and families. Performing for a crowd that size and sharing a stage with some of the biggest names in country music could have been life-changing for an up-and-coming artist like Brooks. “These were once in a lifetime opportunities,” Brooks laments, “you can’t put a price on something like that.” Brooks adapted to the indoor venue closures and social distancing restrictions by hosting a series of curbside concerts that he promoted on his social media pages. Brooks would set up in front of someone’s house for a modest fee and put on a 30-60-minute show for them. Being outside and maintaining social distancing minimized risk and complied with state mandates. “The curbside concerts actually ended up being a great experience,” Brooks explains, “I got to meet and perform for a lot of people who might otherwise not have ever heard me play.” The curbside concerts were so successful that Brooks carried them into the Christmas season, where they morphed into curbside caroling.

Businesses like Harris Ranch Restaurant also provided Brooks and other local musicians an opportunity by setting up outdoor performance spaces to entertain customers during outdoor dining. For Brooks and other musicians, creative alternatives like curbside and live stream concerts, merchandising, and social media marketing have been more than just a temporary band-aid to supplement some of the income lost by venue closures. They have become permanent new revenue streams that can continue to be profitable even after live concerts return. Brooks plans to extend his curbside shows through the summer and then return with curbside caroling for the holidays. The first couple of weeks following the reopening have been a gradual easing back into old routines for Brooks. But for Eddy Burgos and Numbskull productions, the return to live concerts have been more like the start of a roller coaster. “Many of our markets aren’t fully operational yet, but we did some shows in San Luis Obispo, and those sold out immediately, and the crowds were absolutely rabid,” says Burgos. According to Burgos, Numbskull is being “avalanched by show requests” from artists all over the country. Bands have been clamoring to get ahead of each other on the calendar. With so many closures limiting the number of available venues to book with, there simply aren’t enough resources to keep up with the demand. Unfortunately, the reduction in available venues means smaller independent acts and local artists will have a

Is This Homegrown? By Dave Fountinelle | dave@fresnoflyer.com

n June, the Fresno City Council voted to increase the number of recreational cannabis business licenses it would award from 14 to 21. This increase raised the number of allowable dispensaries in each of Fresno’s seven districts from two to three. Out of those 21 potential businesses, the City must choose at least three and as many as six from the pool of social equity applicants. The social equity application process has drawn a fair amount of criticism over the last two years. Much of that criticism has come from social equity applicants and advocates who feel the City is holding them to a much more stringent and costlier standard than regular applicants. Some of the applicants have also questioned the overall lack of transparency in the City’s selection process. In addition, allegations of big, out-of-town cannabis corporations using proxy applicants as loopholes to acquire some of the already limited social equity permits have grown louder. Other California cities with similar processes have experienced this in their districts. Some social equity applicants in Fresno have raised concerns that the same could happen here. It is not just the social equity permit applicants either. Many applicants for standard retail permits have also spoken out against the big corporations. Among the claims is that large corporate retailers often use their considerably greater resources and political influence to jump to the front of the line for permits, gain special favors from city leaders, and ultimately push smaller, local competitors out of business. There is an economic impact difference as well with out-of-town corporations versus locally-owned businesses. Statistically, locally-owned businesses reinvest almost

| JULY 2021

| FRESNO FLYER |

all of the revenue they earn back into their communities. Besides creating jobs and paying the rents, utilities, and taxes that all businesses do, locally-owned businesses additionally support local non-profit groups, youth sports, and other community organizations. Local business owners buy homes in their communities. Their children attend local schools. They have a vested, personal and professional interest in improving conditions in the neighborhoods where they do business. In contrast, out-of-town corporate retailers typically send most of their profits back to their headquarters, away from the communities in which they operate. There is little to no grassroots community support from many of the larger corporate retailers, a well-documented issue with all manner of corporate and big-box retailers - Walmart being perhaps the most notorious example. For reasons such as these, local retail applicants have been raising their voices at increasing rates. It’s an effort to educate and inform the people about their rights as consumers to decide which businesses they want in their neighborhoods. Courtney Caron is a Central Valley native, attorney, and spokesperson for The Artist Tree, a retail cannabis storefront applying for a permit in Fresno’s Tower District. The Artist Tree has made it a priority to connect with both the residents and the small business owners in the Tower so that the people have as much information as possible to decide for themselves who they’d like to see doing business in their neighborhood. “A big part of what makes The Artist Tree successful is their connection to the local community,” Caron explains, “as The Artist Tree’s business model weighs so heav-

ily upon the contributions of local artists and community members, they feel that it is beyond important to incorporate the thoughts and opinions of the local art community and members of the neighborhood into their business plan.” The Artist Tree makes those connections by hosting ‘meet & greets’ to introduce themselves to their neighbors and to share what they hope to bring to the community. It’s also an opportunity for residents to learn about The Artist Tree and decide for themselves if it is a business worthy of their support. Perhaps the most notable way that The Artist Tree separates itself from other cannabis retailers is its relationship with local artists. The Artist Tree storefronts serve as both dispensaries and art galleries. Local artists can display their art in the store free of charge, and the Artist keeps all of the proceeds from the sale of their work. This unique concept is the brainchild of Lauren Fontein, a co-founder at The Artist Tree. To differentiate themselves from the competition and respect the city’s values, she decided to create a more artistic experience for the business. As the heart of Fresno’s creative community, the Tower District is a perfect place for The Artist Tree to set up shop. Their current proposed location is the former Audie’s Olympic on Van Ness. This location has historically provided a stage for local artists to share with independent touring acts from all over the country. “The feedback we received from the community was beyond encouraging,” Caron beams. “We were touched by the support, encouragement, and sheer excitement exhibited by local residents and neighbors.” Many of the residents attending the

| FRESNOFLYER.COM |

meet & greet brought resumes. In addition, several local artists have already expressed an interest in displaying their art should the business get its approval from the City. Caron is proud of The Artist Tree’s work in becoming a valued part of the communities where it does business. As such, she is a strong advocate for an open, transparent permit approval process that welcomes community input. She believes residents should be empowered to provide their opinions as to the businesses they think will serve the best interests of their community. Caron encourages residents to attend city council meetings and make their voices heard. The permit approval process currently appears to be at the discretion of the City Manager. It is unclear how much, if any, public input will factor into the council’s decisions as to which businesses ultimately receive permits. As to the controversy surrounding some of the out-of-town corporate cannabis applicants, Caron is understandably diplomatic. We encourage residents to seek out information about the mission of each cannabis company seeking a license. More specifically, what has each applicant business done for the local communities where they are currently operating?” Caron continues, “The Artist Tree’s business model was designed of course to sell cannabis, but more importantly to create an opportunity for the community to be directly involved with our mission, advancing and supporting the arts.” It is a model that has found success in West Hollywood, one of Los Angeles’

Masks For Dummies XII

...‘Shows’ cont’d from pg 3

By I. Smiley G. Calderón | smileygcalderon@gmail.com

hen summer finally kicked in, I thought for sure this would be it - the highly anticipated end to a somber yearlong saga-series. This series of how brilliant you are when you wear a mask over your mouth and nose during a pandemic. For sure, wearing a mask for protection against a sophisticated invisible killer virus sounds dumb because it’s just so very simple, almost too simple to possibly be effective. But, in this MFD series, we painstakingly spent a whole year taking a hard look at the pertinent data and trends - local, statewide, national and global. We know for a fact that masks are effective. There’s just no question about it. (Go back and look at the past eleven articles on the Flyer’s website if you don’t believe me). In fact, if we hadn’t started wearing masks quickly to curtail community transmission last year, Covid would have been much more destructive than it was. To think that a simple fabric affixed to our face could save lives - amazing! But what’s even more impressive, though, is the obstinate stupidity of countless Americans who found this simple life-saving measure just too complicated and onerous to bear. How pathetic! Truth be told, these guys were the real dummies. You know the type: privileged, entitled, and egotistical, riddled with pseudoscience and fake news. The combination is deadly. And, of course, these anti-masking dummies have countless excuses on why covering their airways in public is ‘communist’ or ‘dangerous.’ They argue while numerous other people’s lives are actively ravaged

and destroyed by a highly infectious disease that doesn’t care about your political affiliation, race or economic status - only the sweet accessibility of your open airways. Yet, if you’re reading this, we’ve successfully weathered the storm and ridden out this horrible pandemic wave together. Although it’s still not over, it looks like this era of life-saving mask-wearing is coming to a foreseeable end here in the U.S, thanks to the modern medical miracle of vaccines. Are you excited? Or are you still a little bit wary and nervous about leaving your innocent airways so vulnerably open in public, like me? After everything we’ve learned this past year about how rapidly and easily respiratory viruses spread through our noses and mouths (when they aren’t properly covered, that is), I’m still concerned about being out in public without a mask. Who knows what’s in our air!? If it’s not some pernicious virus today, then it’s some caustic chemical tomorrow, probably. When you really stop to think about it, isn’t it incredible just how truly vulnerable we really are when we are not masked up? And isn’t it amazing how we hadn’t had to take these kinds of extreme measures before within our lifetimes until Covid emerged? Sadly, this coronavirus pandemic really opened our eyes to the possibility of unthinkable community health scenarios. Covid-19 was and is a horrible, unthinkable disease so easily contagious because its virus is super adaptable. It is efficiently shaped, sized, and spiked for maximum potency. The virion, SARS-CoV-2, is only a few hundred nanometers in diame-

ter (sometimes even smaller). And a legion of them easily flies right inside our bodies through our unprotected airways like crusaders on a vicious warpath searching for unsuspecting cells to invade. We know all too well the horrible damage that can result. Thank goodness for masks. They actually work. With the right mask (choose an N95 or KN95, or use a double-layered cloth mask) appropriately worn over your mouth and nose, we can physically stop some of these spiked invaders in their tracks. And, without a biological host to feed on, viruses are surprisingly weak and easily destroyed in the open, harsh natural environment. But, of course, the trick is to not allow them to enter our bodies and infect us in the first place! Hence, masks. In a pandemic with over 4 million tragic deaths worldwide, we have suffered a great deal: 606,000 fellow American souls snatched so suddenly. Here in Fresno County, we have lost 1,727 dear friends and family members to this deadly pestilence. So fast, so unexpectant, so unforgiving. Many didn’t take this virus seriously at all, but it definitely took us seriously, for sure. Non-maskers laughed at the ‘fake pandemic.’ They mocked those who desperately tried to protect themselves from disease and death with their simple face coverings - until the coronavirus knocked on their doors, of course. Of the 1 million people in Fresno County, 102,500 people have tested positive - that’s over 10% of our community. Nationally, we’ve had

more challenging time finding gigs until new venues begin to open and take up the slack. It also means promoters will be less likely to take a chance on unproven acts as they struggle to try and recoup 15 months of financial losses. As Burgos explains, “Unfortunately since we’ve all been hit so hard financially, we need to be more mindful of what does and doesn’t work economically. I think we are going to be forced to take fewer chances on some artists and to hone in on the bare production essentials for our survival.” Despite all of that, Burgos is optimistic about what the future holds for live music in California and the Fresno music scene. “Fresno is by far one of our favorite cities to promote in,” he beams, “the community here is not only diverse demographically, but their musical tastes are as well.” This means Numbskull is encouraged to book more experimental acts and develop emerging artists who might not otherwise have a chance in the more significant markets. “The scene in Fresno is hungry, supportive, and down as fuck, and we love that!” Burgos exclaims. Burgos is excited about all of the upcoming events that are on the calendar for Fresno music lovers. On August 5th, they’re bringing the rescheduled Good Vibes Summer Tour to Woodward Park, featuring reggae legends Steel Pulse along with many other special guests. They will also be keeping the calendar at Strummer’s packed with a diverse assortment of independent artists and DJs all summer long. And they plan to ring in the fall season by returning once again to Woodward Park on October 13th, bringing Flogging Molly along with The Violent Femmes and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. For more information about upcoming Numbskull Productions events, visit www.numbskullshows.com. As for Travis Brooks, in addition to his summer curbside concerts, he released a new single, “Me and You,” on June 29th on all streaming platforms. He’s continuing to focus on getting more of his music out that he’s been working on over the last year. And you can look for him at many of the local spots he was a regular fixture at before the pandemic.

IN EVERY STAGE OF LIFE, A LESSON AWAITS US

...‘Homegrown’ cont’d from pg 4 most iconic artist communities, and that Caron believes can succeed in the Tower District as well. In a June interview with The Business Journal, owner Lauren Fontein spoke of their care when choosing where to open their next location. “We’re not necessarily just looking to expand anywhere that we can find a license. We really do think about locations and what would be a good fit and where The Artist Tree could help expand the local art culture,” Fontein said. Fontein and Caron believe that the more residents educate themselves about the various cannabis businesses vying for a spot in their community, the more support grows for similar businesses that utilize a model of community involvement, reinvestment, and cultural preservation. The interview process for permit applicants is currently underway. After that, applicants will be given scores based on unspecified criteria determined by the City Council. The scoring process is scheduled for completion by August 20th. The conditional use permit process - which sets the standards for how retailers operate their specific locations begins on August 30th and is scheduled to end on December 3rd. It is very likely that, without adequate transparency in the scoring process, there will be a host of legal challenges to the council’s final decisions. Councilman Mike Karbassi has already expressed his concern, stating, “Once we start scoring people, even though we have these standards there, people are going to complain. We’re probably going to get sued because people are going to say it’s unfair.” Retailers like The Artist Tree hope to succeed by supporting the communities that support them. With tens of millions of dollars in potential revenue on the table, where and how that money is spent will significantly impact every resident in all 7 of Fresno’s districts. Therefore, it is in the best interests of every Fresnan to know which businesses will reinvest the most of that revenue into the local economy and spend accordingly. To learn more about The Artist Tree, visit their website, www.theartisttree.com.

hen one experiences the loss of a parent, it is common for the survivor to seek an understanding of the communication challenges and phases of grief that result. The end phase of life is an inevitable transition in time we will all encounter as human beings. It is as precious and meaningful for the elderly person as it is for any recipient of that relationship. It is a gift to those who devote time to sit with the elderly, taking the opportunity to work with them and their families. The final days are a blessing which many say is spiritual. At the turn of the 20th century, psychosocial theorist - Erik Erikson developed and introduced his psychosocial theory. Erikson’s theory explains the role of social factors and how each stage of our development throughout life involves a different crisis. Thus, psychosocial development is how people respond to their environment, how it resonates with their present-day life, and how it affects their growth going forward. There are eight stages of development, all of which are crucial as human beings age and transition through life - including loss and grief. The elderly generation is confront-

ed with the end of life as the “next stage.” The elderly witnesses this fragile stage of life, coming to terms with the limits of whatever time is left. Some share their wishes and plans for their memorial and funeral. Any family member, friend, or caretaker can comfort the elders by being in their company, admiring their perseverance and courage. Elders are in many ways a guide for the younger generation. Gerotranscendence is a feeling of clarity and affinity for previous generations with a decreased desire for superfluous social connection. Instead, the elderly focus more on the aging process, sometimes referred to as a cosmic transcendent perspective directed forward and outward beyond our self. People who exude this often share they are content. They are calmer and offer a reflection of their life story. Yet, they continue to have a desire to connect and to share. The challenging transition for any elder is leaving the home they love and moving to a full-time care facility. Conforming to a new and strange environment requires time and patience. Family and friends play extremely vital roles in this cycle of life. Support groups, social activities, and religious studies

can also help in developing coping skills. If you come away with anything from this experience, it is knowing just how fragile we all are. In every stage of life, a lesson awaits us. Thus, being there for someone for the final passage is an integral part of the emotional, social development in late adulthood. Young or old, it is wise to be prepared. And there are many ways to ensure we are:

ible foe constantly adapts and evolves for better survivability, we should do the same, too - right? Our species needs to adapt and better equip ourselves for a battle against this deadly species, consistently better at preparing itself to devour us. And so, for these epic Twenty-First Century viral wars, the very first thing you need to do is: get vaccinated. If you haven’t already gotten your shot, get it. This new technology is our modern-day armor, our enhanced adaptability our primary line of defense against this fortified coronavirus invader. These new variants are becoming so concerning that certain parts of the world are locking back down again. US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy recognizes the impending danger and urges everyone to get vaccinated as soon as possible: “If you are not vaccinated, then you are in trouble… .” Do you really want this kind of

trouble in your life? No? Well good. Then get vaccinated. And continue to wear your mask when you are around lots of people or when you are up and close with unvaccinated folks. Yet, if, for some reason, you do not plan on getting vaccinated, then please know and understand how dangerous the situation is for you right now. It is super precarious. Contrary to popular belief, the pandemic is not over. Just because stores are opening up now and things may seem more and more normal, you are still very vulnerable. This virus is a deadly scouring predator that has efficiently learned how to perfectly adapt and circumvent all of your natural defenses against it. So you need to keep on wearing your mask like your life depends on it. Because it does. Stay the course, friends. Get vaccinated and protect those airways!

•Preparation of a living will •Life insurance for the entire family •Memorial service planner • Final resting place • Celebration of your life service Death is an inevitable transition, but it need not be bleak as society often makes it. The elders’ memories can live on, teaching, influencing, and guiding the next generation in moving the world forward.

Yet, we aren’t out of the woods just yet, dear reader. We are still in danger. Covid is still out there, and new, more deadly variants are emerging.

Adventure Church pursues the politics of gay erasure By Jaguar Bennett | jaguarbennett@gmail.com

ry to imagine the Tower District without LGBTQIA+ people and their contributions. Without gay people, the Tower District would be missing many of its residents, clubs, restaurants, and other businesses. It would also be missing much of its art, theater, culture, and the spirit of inclusion, acceptance, and diversity that defines the neighborhood. A Tower District without gay and gender non-conforming people would be a neighborhood without its soul and vitality. Erasing the gay from the Tower District is the mission of Adventure Church - the conservative, homophobic church currently illegally occupying the Tower Theatre. Adventure Church’s purpose in attempting to buy the Tower Theatre is to plant an outpost of anti-gay values in the heart of a gay neighborhood. Anti-gay confrontation is Adventure Church’s purpose. Of all the many questions surrounding Adventure Church’s purchase of the Tower Theatre, the question at the top of my mind is, “What on earth were they thinking?” What idiot got the bright idea of planting a conservative, fundamentalist church in Fresno’s most free-thinking, gay-friendly neighborhood? Surely any person of ordinary intelligence would anticipate that trying to change the character of a community overnight, against the wishes of the vast majority of its residents, would provoke the backlash we have seen over the past six months? One would think that a church seeking a long-term home for its congregation would want to cultivate good relations

with its neighbors, not provoke confrontation. Likewise, one would think that a church moving into a new neighborhood would want to be a part of the existing community. So why is Adventure Church so determined to plant itself in a gay community? The confrontation is the point. The purpose is to demonstrate that a conservative evangelical church can destroy a gay neighborhood. The politics of gay erasure Ever since protests erupted against their takeover of the Tower Theatre, Adventure Church has tried to portray itself as a victim. A powerless evangelical congregation just trying to buy a $6.5 million building in rebellion against the all-powerful Homosexual Conspiracy that controls Fresno city government. But when Adventure first came into the Tower District, they had a lot more swagger. Adventure Church pastor Anthony Flores, a man not noted for his saint-like humility, genuinely seemed to be under the impression that buying a building made him the unelected leader of the Tower District community. Back then, Flores said many cocky words about how his church would bring a “redemptive lift” and “clean up” the neighborhood. However, it was soon reported that members of Adventure Church were harassing gay youth and bar patrons, giving all of us a sneak preview of what Adventure Church’s idea of redemption looks like — a

| FRESNOFLYER.COM |

sterilized neighborhood cleansed of bars, fun, and, most crucially, queer people. Don’t be deceived by Adventure’s superficially friendly talk about how gays are “welcome to attend” their church. Adventure Church directly discriminates against gay people. The doctrinal statements of their denomination prohibit gay marriage, gay people in leadership, or even baptizing gay people. For conservative churches like Adventure, the rights and safety of gay people are a zero-sum game. There’s a code word that religious conservatives use that you should pay attention to: “religious liberty.” The way religious conservatives use it, “religious liberty,” is the freedom of conservative churches to exclude gay people, to discriminate against gay employees at churches and religious schools, to loudly proclaim anti-gay bigotry, and to renormalize anti-gay bias. For the advocates of “religious liberty,” any advance in rights and protections for gay people is a direct threat to the right of churches to discriminate and exclude. Conservative churches’ greatest fear is that churches that exclude gays will be treated like churches that exclude people of color. They fear that as support for gay people increases, churches that discriminate against gays will no longer be considered respectable or worthy of legal protection. Adventure Church’s intrusion into a gay neighborhood is just one battlefield in a national war against gay rights. The church’s invasion in the heart of the gay community is meant to be a test of strength, to prove that religious conservatives can invade gay spaces and make them their own.

What’s at stake The Tower District is the one safe space in the entire San Joaquin Valley for LGBTQIA+ people. Throughout Pride Month in June, the Save the Tower Theatre Demonstration Committee devoted time at our demonstrations for leaders of gay organizations to speak on what the Tower District means to the LGBTQIA+ community. All emphasized that the loss of the Tower District as a safe space would be a disaster to queer people throughout the Valley. Especially for LGBTQIA+ youth, the Tower District is a place to find community, belonging, resources, and a refuge from intolerant communities, churches, and families. Adventure Church’s “redemptive lift” goal is to transform the Tower District into a safe space for homophobia and, in the process, destroy the neighborhood as a safe space for gay people. When Anthony Flores and his colleagues ask, “Why can’t the neighborhood accept us?” what they’re asking for is acceptance of their anti-gay agenda. We won’t tolerate intolerance in the Tower District, and I ask you to join us in resisting Adventure Church’s policies of gay erasure. Please join our weekly demonstrations every Sunday on the corner of Olive and Wishon from 8 am – 11 am. And write letters to the mayor and every member of the City Council. You can find more information on the Facebook page of the Save the Tower Theatre Demonstration Committee, facebook. com/SavetheTowerDemonstrationCommittee.

How COVID-19 swept California’s mariachis By Jaqueline Garcia | calmatters.org

isneros, the leader of Mariachi Nuevo Guadalajara, said the band was hired to perform at a house event in celebration of Father’s Day last June. There was a crowd of a few dozen people. At the time the state prohibited gatherings but police didn’t enforce the rule at residences. Cisneros plays the violin and sings. Three days before the event, the six musicians who planned to attend got tested for the coronavirus to make sure they were not infected. All of them tested negative. “I thought we were going to be OK,” Cisneros said. When they arrived at the party, they tried to keep some distance from the crowd. But as they continued to play, guests pushed in closer. “We kept moving back but there was a point where we couldn’t move anymore,” Cisneros said. Singing and playing brass instruments such as trumpets, a mariachi staple, are considered especially risky for coronavirus transmission because they release respiratory particles through the air.

ratory particles through the air. As he was driving home, Cisneros felt a dry cough and his throat hurt. Initially he ignored the symptoms, thinking his throat was sore from singing. He went to bed, but by the next day he had fever, diarrhea, and extreme pain in his bones. He was shivering and vomited. He called his bandmates and cautioned them. As days passed, his health deteriorated. His headaches worsened and he started having harsh pain in his lungs. When he could no longer handle the pain, he went to a hospital near his home in Boyle Heights. “But there were so many people when I arrived that doctors told me I was still breathing and that they couldn’t take me in,” he said. “While I was at the hospital I had a strong headache and pain on my left arm. I thought at that moment I was going to die.” He tested positive for the coronavirus, but, unable to get proper medical care at the hospital, Cisneros went home. His whole family became infected. They were sick for about two months, but their symptoms were lighter than his. Cisneros said that when the pandemic started, a friend who was part of another group but had no job started working with his band. A few months later, the man died of COVID. Cisneros said the news was devastating for him, but he’s thankful that Mariachi Nuevo Guadalajara did not suffer major losses. Back to work — performing at funerals The hiring of mariachis began increasing last fall. But instead of happy celebrations, most jobs were to play at funerals. For a while at the beginning of this year, some bands played at one funeral, or more, almost every day. “Recently we played in a funeral at Rose Hills cemetery and we counted in a perimeter of about 100 meters eight funerals,” Israel Moreno said. Francisco Hernandez, violinist of Mariachi Los Potrillos and vice president of OMICAL, said the worst part of playing at funerals is seeing a child mourn a parent or

a grandparent. “I really try to hold my own tears when I see them because their tears are real when they cry for their loved ones,” said Hernandez. Hernandez said there has been so much demand to play at funerals that mariachis wish there were more hours during the day. California dropped mask mandates on June 15. Cisneros said his band is booked mainly on weekends, and he is grateful that he has been able to go back to work. But nearly a year after he contracted COVID-19, he still suffers from its effects. Although medical experts encourage people who’ve had COVID to get vaccinated, even if they have persistent symptoms,

Cisneros has put it off because he fears he’ll have a bad reaction. “I still have throat pain, my lungs hurt, and I think even my kidneys got damaged…I have a lot of headaches too,” he said. “I forget things a lot, my body aches and my bones hurt a lot when it’s cold.” --This article is part of The California Divide, a collaboration among newsrooms examining income inequity and economic survival in California.
