Welcome From The Publishers June 26 marks the one-year anniversary of full marriage equality, an achievement many of us thought we would never see in our lifetimes. In this edition of the Pride Source Magazine & Directory we reflect on the decades of activism, research, outreach, protest and dedication it took for the LGBT community to reach this awesome milestone. Our movement in Michigan has a deep and powerful history from which we can draw wisdom and strength. Dr. Tim Retzloff ’s article “ Your Guide To Michigan’s LGBTQ Past” starting on page 20 looks at where we began and how far we have come. It took special courage to come out in the 1950s in Detroit and we owe a debt of gratitude to those who were willing to break down those barriers and show us the way to keep pushing for our equal rights. Successful activism requires organization at the grassroots level. Here in Michigan we have a network of eight community centers providing support, activities, volunteer opportunities and access to the wider LGBT community. We highlight each of these centers in this issue of Pride Source Magazine & Directory starting on page 108, and encourage you to find the one closest to you and support them in their daily work of connecting LGBT individuals to our community and movement. Any good argument requires solid research, and the case for LGBT equality is a rational argument that too often faces unreasonable fear and hatred. It’s the data that eventually debunks the fear, and the extraordinary project at the Equality Research Center at Eastern Michigan University connects some of the country’s most insightful researchers with the very activists that do the arguing for LGBT rights. This unique effort is featured in the article “Connecting Academics With Activists” on page 18. Today LGBT political activists are in our community organizations and halls of government. They are developing the strategies and tactics we need to protect marriage equality, keep our movement moving forward and fight the onslaught of anti-LGBT legislation cropping up in reaction to marriage equality. We’ve interviewed many of the leading LGBT thinkers and politicians who together are working to make Michigan a better place for LGBT people to live and work. Find out what they plan to do and how they’ll do it in the article on our political leaders “What’s Next For LGBT Equality?” starting on page 8. In 2016 we can legally marry, buy a home together and raise a family. We should continue to invest in our lives and our futures in ways unimaginable to those who decades ago began the long march to full equality. We encourage each of our readers to use the businesses listed in this issue of Pride Source Magazine & Directory. They are affirmatively saying they want to serve the LGBT community. We can invest in our own equality by answering them with our support. We wish all of you a happy and healthy Pride season! Jan Stevenson & Susan Horowitz Publishers

What’s Next for LGBTQ Equality? Some of Michigan’s movement leaders share their thoughts on progress to date and what lies ahead BY AMY LYNN SMITH

here’s no question that the landscape of LGBTQ equality has shifted dramatically since the 2015 U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage. It’s the equivalent of a massive earthquake that’s done more good than harm.

But the aftershocks are signiﬁcant. Those who oppose LGBTQ equality are pushing back and the backlash is ﬁerce, both in Michigan and across the country. Still, when you talk to leaders in Michigan’s LGBTQ movement, the prevailing attitude is one of optimism. That’s not to say there isn’t a healthy dose of realism about the sometimes daunting amount of work that’s left to be done. Some of this work has been ongoing for decades, and some of it is new work that’s directly related to bold attacks in the wake of marriage equality. Regardless, those leading the charge toward

equality are hopeful and determined. The key, they agree, is to work together and never lose sight of the ultimate goal of lived equality for the entire LGBTQ community. “My prediction is that we’ll look back on 2016 as a year in which things changed and shifted for the LGBTQ movement in Michigan,” says Steph White, executive director of Equality Michigan. “It’s going to take a combination of diverse, powerful leadership that’s also coordinated and uniﬁed in its eﬀorts. I think 2016 is the year when we know that and have those components in place.” White goes on to say that the LGBTQ movement needs to demonstrate and exercise its political clout in a smart, strategic way. “We’ve kind of been on the sidelines in terms of politics in our state,” she explains. “If we’re going to stop being used as a political football by both

“There’s a notable difference in having LGBTQ people in policy-making discussions. When folks step out of line (and push anti-LGBT agendas), there are consequences. It damages relationships. People at meetings can hold them accountable. We’ve seen it already.” Jon Hoadley

sides, we have to come to the game with our own political clout. That means people voting and being engaged in the political process.” Curtis Lipscomb, executive director of LGBT Detroit, feels strongly that the movement has already come together. But that’s only the beginning. “We’ve worked together for years to amend the ElliottLarsen Civil Rights Act (ELCRA) and on many other initiatives,” he says. “The real question is: What further actions could we engage in and what partners can we raise up so the work can be done more easily?”

The Tireless Pursuit of Civil Rights Protections The single biggest issue – although not the only one on leaders’ minds – is expanding ELCRA to include protections for the LGBTQ community. Jay Kaplan, staﬀ attorney for the ACLU of Michigan’s LGBT Project, says expanding ELCRA would resolve many issues currently facing the community, but there’s a lot more education WWW.PRIDESOURCE.COM

and groundwork that must go into achieving the goal. “I get that people are impatient,” he says. “But if this issue was so easy to resolve you’d see more states actually having civil rights protections for our community.” Although Chris Jensen, district director and campaign manager for Congresswoman Brenda Lawrence, is among those who didn’t oppose the idea of a ballot initiative to amend ELCRA, she’s not sure that avenue is feasible right now. She says a key ﬁrst step to expanding ELCRA is winning back the state House and electing more progressive candidates. “I still don’t know that there would be enough political pressure to get things through the Michigan Senate,” she says, “but there’s never going to be a perfect time in politics. You just have to move forward.” Many others share Jensen’s focus on electing more Democrats in 2016 and beyond, but there’s also an increased

emphasis on bipartisanship. After all, with Republicans in the majority and expected to continue holding a signiﬁcant number of seats in the near future, it’s crucial to gain the support of those who are on the side of LGBTQ equality or could be educated enough to become allies. “I’m a staunch Democrat, but we have to learn to work across the aisle,” says Frank Burger, chair of the Genesee County Democratic Party, who serves in many other capacities including on the Michigan Education Association (MEA) Board of Directors. “We have to show Republicans – and there are some good ones – that we live and work in our communities and pay taxes, just like everybody else.” 10

Signs of Progress Even with a heavily conservative Michigan Legislature, there have already been some victories. An attempt to knock out local anti-discrimination ordinances as part of House Bill 4052 (now Public Act 105) in 2015 was defeated. According to State Rep. Jeremy Moss, the tide is slowly shifting in the direction of equality. In fact, he believes if expanding ELCRA were put to a vote before the end of the 2016 legislative session, it would pass. “The current Speaker (Rep. Kevin Cotter) won’t bring it up for a vote,” Moss says, “but I’m hopeful a new Speaker will in the next session. There are legislative Republicans in the House who would vote for expansion today.”

The presence of openly gay legislators like Rep. Moss and Rep. Jon Hoadley is making a diﬀerence, and they both hope other members of the LGBTQ community will join them in the House and Senate. If nothing else, it’s harder for lawmakers to push blatantly anti-LGBTQ legislation when someone from that community is sitting across from them in the Legislature. “There’s a notable diﬀerence in having LGBTQ people in policy-making discussions,” says Rep. Hoadley. “When folks step out of line (and push anti-LGBT agendas), there are consequences. It damages relationships. People at meetings can hold them accountable. We’ve seen it already.” 2016 / 17 PRIDE SOURCE MAGAZINE

Pushing Back Against Discrimination Rep. Hoadley, although generally optimistic, has concerns that attempts to roll back LGBTQ protections in Michigan – similar to the legislation passed in North Carolina in 2016 – are inevitable. That’s why he shares the view of so many that the LGBTQ community has to move forward from marriage equality without taking a breath. After all, discriminatory legislation is largely a response to the progress won in the marriage equality decision. Anti-LGBTQ legislation would be particularly harmful to the transgender community. Across the country, transgender people face higher rates of discrimination and even violence, and are becoming a focal point of the anti-marriage equality backlash. Amy Hunter, project coordinator for the ACLU of Michigan’s Transgender Advocacy Project, agrees that amending ELCRA is the primary objective, even as there are incremental steps to take along the way to reduce the fearmongering and scapegoating seen with “bathroom bills” and other antiLGBTQ legislation. “The critical step here is not just education but familiarity,” Hunter says. “We can spout facts all we want, but what we need to do is empower transgender people to advocate not only for themselves but for their community, and

“The critical step here is not just education but familiarity. We can spout facts all we want, but what we need to do is empower transgender people to advocate not only for themselves but for their community, and have that engagement at a broader level than any one person can do alone.” - Amy Hunter, project coordinator for the ACLU of Michigan’s Transgender Advocacy Project, agrees that amending ELCRA is the primary objective, even as there are incremental steps to take along the way to reduce the fearmongering and scapegoating seen with “bathroom bills” and other anti-LGBTQ legislation.

have that engagement at a broader level than any one person can do alone.” Along with expanding ELCRA protections, ﬁghting so-called Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) bills is another focus for the LGBTQ equality movement. Proponents of RFRA-type bills claim they are simply an extension of the Constitution and seek to protect religious expression. But the truth is that these laws – like the one in Michigan allowing state-funded faith-based adoption agencies to turn away prospective parents and youth on the basis of religious objections – are nothing but anti-LGBTQ legislation in disguise. “When the adoption legislation passed, one of my Republican colleagues apologized to me for voting for it,” says 12

Jay Kaplan Rep. Moss. “That doesn’t excuse her voting for it, but if I hadn’t been there, there would have been no one for her to apologize to.”

Taking Action at the Ballot Box and Beyond Ongoing challenges like these highlight one of the many reasons why Democrats are working diligently to elect more pro-LGBTQ Democrats in 2016 and beyond. “Our number-one goal in 2016 is taking back the state House,” says Mark LaChey, chair of the LGBT and Allies Caucus of the Michigan Democratic Party (MDP), who also serves on the MDP Executive Committee. “We need to ﬂip nine House seats, so it’s an achievable goal.”

It’s also vitally important to elect pro-LGBTQ candidates up and down the ticket, both at the state and national level, in 2016 and beyond. Voting is essential, but it’s not enough. “Voting is the lowest bar,” LaChey says, “second only to posting on Facebook.” Everyone agrees that getting involved in the election process is critical, including being educated about who the candidates are with resources like the Pride Source Voter Guide. What’s more, candidates need to know that LGBTQ people support them. When you make a donation, LaChey says, note that you are part of the LGBTQ community or an ally in the memo ﬁeld of the check. And help candidates in districts other than your own if they face a tough challenge from a Republican. Roland Leggett, principal at Roland Leggett Strategies, has long believed in the power of organizing, even as he admits it’s not “sexy.” But it’s essential to a winning strategy. “Knocking on doors and making phone calls is what it takes,” he says. “There’s no fundraising letter or ﬂyer that will change a voter’s mind the way a conversation with them will.

we make sure the folks who are with us are in office and those who aren’t supportive of us are invited to leave. And then we have to hold our elected officials accountable.” White underscores the importance of voter involvement. “The constituencies that get the most attention from lawmakers are the ones who make their voices heard,” she says. “The more involved we are – in voting, volunteering, donating – it increases our chances to be in conversation with them. The more we have relationships with them, the more they’ll hear us and enact policies on our behalf.” This is particularly important at a time when many voters feel overwhelmed by the negativity in politics. “Political discourse has hit a level of ridiculousness that drives some good voters underground,” Jensen says. But now is not the time for supporters of LGBTQ equality to back down, Kaplan says. Although many are exhausted after the long fight to win marriage equality, the community must stay actively involved, a challenge he acknowledges. “How do we keep people engaged and let them know there’s more work to do – not only the LGBTQ community but our allies?” he says. “Marriage equality isn’t the whole enchilada, so we have to get people to see the value in staying involved in other issues that impact our community.”

From Leggett’s perspective, people want to feel like they’re part of something that’s moving forward. Fortunately, the LGBTQ community is doing just that, even if progress seems incremental. For example, LGBT Detroit is actively pursuing strategies to engage the community, often by bringing together its many intersecting parts. “You need many of us to do that work and we encourage people to get involved,” Lipscomb says. “Not one of us can do it all.”

Onward Toward Lived Equality Rep. Hoadley urges everyone to be heard on the issues, during elections and beyond. “We’ve seen so much progress, but it’s in jeopardy if we don’t engage in the political process and rebuild some political power,” he says. And like the rest of the LGBTQ community, he’s not talking strictly about equality. In fact, demonstrating all the issues the LGBTQ community has in common with everyone in Michigan – such as quality public education, clean drinking water and decent roads to drive on – can go a long way toward building relationships. Addressing all the intersecting issues the community cares about is also fundamental to the goal of lived equality. “We try very hard to show that our issues are everyone’s issues,” LaChey says. Economic issues are central, especially as Michigan’s economic recovery continues to be slower than anyone would like it to be. “More young people identify as LGBT and they’re leaving the state for elsewhere,” Rep. 2016 / 17 PRIDE SOURCE MAGAZINE

Moss says. “If we don’t keep a vibrant LGBT community here, that impacts the economic and quality of life issues we tackle.” To address the broad array of issues that touch LGBTQ people, the community must continue working with organizations such as labor unions, reproductive rights advocates and other groups that promote social justice, Burger says. The LGBTQ community is not alone, and expanding on that unity is how the coalition continues to pursue the goal of lived equality. “Access to healthcare, a non-discrimination act that covers employment, housing and access to public accommodation – these are long-term goals,” Hunter says. “We need to break down systemic and institutional barriers and further longterm cultural changes that allow the transgender community to have truly lived equality.” And it’s not just the transgender community, but the entire LGBTQ movement, that

seeks lived equality. “We’re talking about changing society’s attitudes and approach toward LGBT people, to fully embrace all Michiganders, and that’s hard work,” White says. “It’s not just a matter of changing the laws. It’s changing the tone and tenor of our state and how we relate to each other. We’re talking about changing the personality of Michigan, and that takes this kind of distributed, decentralized leadership that we’re seeing emerge.” “I’m hopeful, and I’ll tell you why,” Lipscomb says. “Our programming attendees are millennials, who are often engaged with devices but are choosing to engage now faceto-face. Diverse people walk into our oﬃce: straight, queer, some have severe socioeconomic issues, some are well-to-do. If I didn’t see those people, I’d feel diﬀerently about the future. But they feel we’re a resource. Because of their shiny bright faces and their criticisms, we’re getting marching orders and new participation in our work. It’s exhausting, but I’m hopeful.”

Connecting Academics and Activists to Advance Equality EMU’s Equality Research Center Commits to Outreach and Discourse BY AJ TRAGER

astern Michigan University’s Equality Research Center, located in Ypsilanti, uniquely connects doctoral level LGBT research to local and national activists. The ERC, a gem for Michael Tew said the state of Michigan, is unlike any other center in he wants to build the country according to ERC’s director, Michael stronger partnerships Tew. “Our mission is more of an outreach than an with LGBT community in-reach,” Tew described.

“Our center is very committed to the idea centers across of a public intellectual,” said Tew. “Research is Michigan to figure out not there for the ediﬁcation of the researcher or what they want and the institution. It’s there for the betterment of need their community society. And we have to be able to connect that information to society in meaningful ways.” to know, and to Tew said most Ph.D. candidates never then streamline the present their dissertations to anyone other than dissemination of their advisory committee, and these academics academic findings. are sometimes perceived to be out of touch with the very communities they research. To his knowledge, the ERC is the only universitybased program oﬀering Ph.D. candidates who are doing high-level LGBT research the opportunity speak directly to the public. “They are out of touch, but in actuality, To get in touch with because of the research that they’re doing, the Equality Research they’re probably far more in touch with what’s Center visit their going on in the world than most people. But website at www.emich. they aren’t necessarily adept at or encouraged edu/equality/. Director to communicate that to people,” he said.

Knowledge Project The Equality Knowledge Project produces that discourse. In the 2015-2016 academic year, Ph.D. candidates from all over the country came to EMU to present their ﬁndings on: • LGBT homelessness in the south • Health related consequences of same-sex and intimate partner violence • Culturally competent care for LGBT older adults in Michigan long-term care facilities

• LGBT rights and their impact on antiLGBT violence • Disgust and the dynamics of LGBT politics • Organizational inequality • Policing of LGBT sexual and gender identities post-Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. Knowledge project speakers come from both qualitative and quantitative research backgrounds and have varying mastery of public speaking. It’s not frequent, but some of the presentations go too far into the methodological issues of research work that, often times, speaks over the public understanding. “I want them to talk about their impulse for the research and talk about what they did briefly, but mostly about what they found and what it means. Those forays that academics are very fond of get into the nitty gritty of method. It is enough to make most audiences’ eyes glaze over immediately. I’m not saying it’s them. I’m saying it’s us, as academics, because I’ve done the same thing, too.” Whether the research is qualitative or quantitative, Tew advocates for the information to be expressed in narrative form so that it tells a story. “I find that most of those that tell a story are more appealing in terms of presenting. It’s all a story,” he said. Tew said he wants to build stronger partnerships with LGBT community centers across Michigan to figure out what they want and need their community to know, and to then streamline the dissemination of academic findings. “We can work with Affirmations. We can bring that to West Michigan. We can bring that to the Jim Toy Community Center. We can bring that to LGBT Detroit and places in Northern Michigan. We call that our Leadership Series, and I think that’s the 2016 / 2017 PRIDE SOURCE MAGAZINE

direction that it should go: a community based project that is truly embedded in community centers where we’re reaching populations that are already engaged, that just want to know and learn and then they share from there,” Tew said. In fact, a project is already in the works with the LGBT Detroit Leadership Academy to develop a curriculum intended to prepare, motivate and empower students to be active and eﬀective movement and community leaders. “The purpose of LGBT Detroit Leadership Academy is to prepare the next generation of leaders in Michigan’s LGBT movement,” Curtis Lipscomb, executive director of LGBT Detroit, said. “I am honored to have the leadership of Equality Research Center at Eastern Michigan University develop curriculum and content for the students.” “I think that is a perfect illustration of the academics and the community working together to impact leadership, equality, progress, etc. I think that’s the perfect illustration of how the center can reach out other than simply supporting research,” Tew said. Good research does activist work, WWW.PRIDESOURCE.COM

and Tew believes that the ERC can inform practitioners about best practices and trends so that they can apply that to their jobs and help communities become more educated, informed and aware so that they can grow in inclusion. “We see LGBTQ issues as the starting point for the center,” Tew said. “Equality means a lot of things. It’s fundamentally an intersectional concept. To talk about LGBTQ issues alone is a great starting point. But matters of race, gender, economic inequality and equality – as it relates to immigration and all those areas that are related to matters of equity – are potential areas for the center to work.” “One of my hopes is that we start moving in those directions through intersectional research,” Tew said. “Our research, and research that we support, tells us how our systems handle nonroutine information so we can extend far beyond LGBT issues. We can’t make inclusion, but communities can and we can supply the knowledge tools for them to help make that happen.” The ERC was founded in 2010 as the Center for Equality and Human Rights but rebranded the following year. Since

its conception, the ERC has narrowed and devised a clearer mission; however, like many academic projects, funds are limited which aﬀects the growth of the organization. As the ERC developed, Tew and his team threw a lot of “spaghetti at the wall” to see what would stick. But one thing is for certain: it was always intended to be something other than just a resource center. Tew and the board are happy with what the center has sustained over the course of its existence; however, it’s time to expand out, with either a video series or a podcast, for example, to really amplify the impact. Ph.D. candidates can apply for small research grants from the center. “More like research awards,” Tew described.

Your Guide to Michigan’s LGBTQ Past BY TIM RETZLOFF

here do we find our history?

Tim Retzloff teaches history and LGBTQ studies at Michigan State University. He received his Ph.D. in history from Yale in 2014 and is currently at work on a book about gay and lesbian life and politics in Metro Detroit from 1945 to 1985. His writings on Michigan’s queer past have appeared in the anthology “Creating a Place for Ourselves,” the journal GLQ, the collection “Making Suburbia,” and the pages of Between The Lines. 20

In the summer of 1989, simple curiosity led me to the Genesee County Court House to examine criminal cases of local men prosecuted for homosexual activity in the 1950s and ‘60s – five files at a time, retrieved from the attic, with one clerk angrily slamming the materials on the large table in front of me once she realized the types of cases I was looking up. Since then, I have been searching far and wide for Michigan’s LGBTQ past, an obsession that has now become

my career. Where do we find our history? As it turns out, our individual and collective histories are all around us – often hidden, yes, but hidden in plain sight. A notable number of scholars and authors have captured important aspects of earlier queer life in Michigan. By “queer,” I mean various facets of sexual and gender difference, from homosexual to gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or queer, whether embraced as an identity or not. In the very first issue of the Midwest Gay Academic Journal published in 1977, Dan Tsang recounted a 1959

Roey Thorpe’s research on black and white Detroit lesbians of the 1940s and ‘50s resulted in two inﬂuential articles, one in the anthology “Inventing Lesbian Cultures in America,” the other in “Creating a Place for Ourselves.” Historian Anne Enke (who now goes by A. Finn Enke) built on the work of Thorpe in documenting the untold stories of the 1960s softball team Motown Soul Sisters and the 1970s feminist venue Poor Women’s Coﬀeehouse for the 2007 book, “Finding the Movement.” Scholar Marlon Bailey revealed the crucial role of alternative kinship in “Butch Queens Up in Pumps” about Detroit’s African-American ballroom culture of the 1990s. And Gregory Piazza’s recent “A History of Detroit’s Palmer Park,” released through Arcadia Publishing and richly illustrated with the photographs of Allan Machielse, touches on the gay

heyday of the neighborhood. Many ﬁrst-person accounts of past LGBTQ life in Michigan are available in print form as well. These include passages in Seymour Kleinberg’s “Alienated Aﬀections;” Philip Bockman’s chapter in the volume “Boys Like Us;” some of Holly Hughes’s performance pieces in “Clit Notes;” Ron Suresha’s essay on coming out as bisexual in the anthology “Bi Men: Coming Out Every Which Way;” Beth Brant’s collection “Mohawk Trails;” numerous pieces in Julie Enszer’s book of essays, “Homesteading;” and sections of Esther Newton’s forthcoming memoir, “My Butch Career.” The poetry of Don Mager, Terri Jewell and Blair gives another lens to the unique perspectives of LGBTQ people in Michigan.

Film

Several documentary ﬁlms have showcased stories from the local queer past. The 1999 ﬁlm “Living with Pride

Ruth Ellis @ 100,” by Yvonne Welbon, chronicles the life of Detroit lesbian icon Ruth Ellis as she approached her 100th birthday. Filmmaker dream hampton’s “Treasure,” about Shelly Hilliard, an African-American transgender Detroit teen who was brutally slain in 2011, highlights a quest for trans justice among a largely invisible part of the queer world of southeast Michigan. The Grand Rapids People’s History of the LGBTQ Community, a project of the Grand Rapids Institute for Information Democracy, gives voice to many who have been active in west Michigan gay life for the past several decades. Mandi Wright’s “Accidental Activists,” about the unexpected path of Jayne Rowse and April DeBoer to the Supreme Court’s landmark same-sex marriage ruling, had its premiere at the 2016 Freep Film Festival.

Merrilee Melvin, who helped organize Detroit’s first Pride march in 1972, is one of dozens of LGBTQ people who have shared their memories in oral history interviews.

Newsletters like the Dyke Heights Dispatch from Lansing need to be collected and safeguarded.

Older films that document the Michigan queer past include “Listening, Learning, Loving,” produced in 1989, featuring the Detroit chapter of Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, and “In Our Own Words,” a 1992 video about gay, lesbian and bisexual students at Central Michigan University. Video histories underway include “America You Kill Me,” a documentary directed by Daniel Land about longtime activist Jeff rey Montgomery. Also in the works is Brian Alexander’s film about the 1991 murders of Susan Pittmann and Christine Puckett, who were among the founders of Affirmations.

Print Media If, as Washington Post publisher Philip Graham once said, journalism serves as a “first rough draft of history,” then the pages of the Gay Liberator, Metro Gay News, the IC Exchange, Metra and Cruise, the Lesbian Connection, Kick!, OutPost, OutSpoken, Sunflower, and Between The Lines have been crucial first drafts to recording our past. Most issues of these publications remain tucked away in libraries and archives. Only two of these have even been microfilmed. M a i n s t r e a m newspapers, including the Detroit Free Press and the Detroit News, the Lansing State Journal, the Traverse City Record-Eagle, the Flint Journal, and the Grand Rapids Press, have documented queer lives for decades, in both negative and positive fashion. Similarly, the Michigan Chronicle, the Fifth Estate and such campus newspapers as the Michigan Daily, the State News and the South End have, at different times, covered

distinct aspects of the LGBTQ community. Until recently, access to even mainstream content has been limited to what had been clipped for library vertical files or cataloged in a few newspaper indexes. New full-text databases such as ProQuest Historical Newspapers and newspapers.com promise to open to fresh avenues to Michigan’s LGBTQ past. The raw evidence of local LGBTQ history is increasingly available in various archives, although a visit to use materials on site is required. Among the rich holdings of the Labadie Collection at the University of Michigan are records of the first formal organization for homosexuals in Michigan, the Detroit Area Council of the Mattachine of the late 1950s, and records of the Leaping Lesbian Collective of the late 1970s, as well as the National Transgender Archive. The Bentley Historical Library at U of M houses the Michigan Organization for Human Rights Records, the James W. Toy Papers, the records of Dignity/Detroit, the papers of Douglas Haller, the amazing scrapbooks of David Hummel, and the journals of Beth Marshall Bashert, among dozens of other important local LGBTQ collections. Since the early 1970s, Special Collections at Michigan State University has gathered a range of LGBTQ materials. Among its holdings are the Terri Jewell Papers, the recently acquired Lansing Association for Human Rights Records and a vast array of subject files. The Walter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State is home to the Ernest Horne Papers and the records of the South East Michigan Gay and Lesbian Association. The Reuther Library is also the designated repository of LGBT Detroit. Among other notable collections are PRIDE Community Center Records in the Genesee Historical Collections Center at UM-Flint, newsletters and documentation of the Metro Detroit chapter of the Lambda Car Club housed at the Downtown Branch of the Detroit Public Library, the Robert Gaylor Collection at Oakland University, and the ALLIES/OUTlook Records at the Central Upper Peninsula and Northern Michigan University Archives.

20 years, Charles Alexander has shared his stories and perspective in his weekly BTL column, “Parting Glances.” They are a goldmine of history.

Spoken History Oral histories remain absolutely crucial to making sure our authentic queer lives are recorded. Fortunately, many local LGBTQ people have already been interviewed. Patrick Burton conducted a number of interviews for his 1995 play “Punk,” including a conversation with the late Bramwell “ChiChi” Franklin. Roey Thorpe’s oral histories of Detroit lesbians are part of the Human Sexuality Collection at Cornell. Miriam Frank’s interviews for her stunning book “Out in the Union,” including key Detroiters and Ann Arborites, are held by the Tamiment Library and Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives at New York University. My own oral history recordings and transcripts, with more than a hundred individuals, will be available at the Bentley Library in 2022. In recent months, inspirational efforts to gather oral histories have been initiated by John Trimble (who seeks to document the experiences of trans women of color), and Wayne State graduate student Nina Perez (who seeks to record memories of Palmer Park). Other efforts would be welcome as well. So if someone asks you to share your LGBTQ stories, please consider saying yes. Where do we find our history? Look around and ask around.

The Ultimate LGBT Wedding & Anniversary Expo Welcomes Everyone

he Ultimate LGBT Wedding & Anniversary Expo held March 20, 2016, was an aﬀair to remember.

Positive energy ﬁlled MotorCity Casino Hotel as happy couples planned all the memories they will create, with everyone there looking forward to the day when lived equality will no longer be the dream of activists, but the reality for every LGBT American. Hosted for the sixth consecutive year by Between The Lines, the expo was, as promised, bigger and better than ever. More than 110 vendors and 800 attendees gathered to celebrate at the ﬁrst expo following the 2015 U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing samesex marriage nationwide. All day long, the event bustled with couples planning weddings, families looking forward to special events, and more than a few singles daydreaming about their special day. Everyone made the most of the festive event, which featured four fashion shows, live entertainment, plenty of tasty food samples and a wide array of vendors – everything from tux shops and bridal salons to event venues,

caterers, adoption services and financial planners. It was a celebration, no question, of all the progress the LGBT community has made. But every attendee knows there’s still much more to do in the pursuit of lived equality, the ideal of erasing anti-LGBT discrimination from every area of life. After all, if discrimination didn’t exist, there would be no need for an LGBT-specific wedding expo. In fact, that’s what inspired Jan Stevenson and Susan Horowitz – co-publishers of Between The Lines and co-producers of the event, who were married 12 years ago in Canada – to create The Ultimate LGBT Wedding & Anniversary Expo in the first place. “Six years ago we got a call from the catering manager at the Marriott in Livonia, who was outraged that LGBT couples were telling her that other venues were turning them away,” Stevenson says. “I told her that happened all the time, and she said she wanted to do an LGBT wedding expo and asked if we would help.” Continued on next page

With A Purpose

Although Stevenson and Horowitz were excited about the prospect of a fun event, it was about more than that. “It was work we’d already been doing, and a response to blatant discrimination we were seeing against LGBT couples,” says Horowitz who, along with Stevenson, has a long, proud history of activism. “And that discrimination is not going to be eradicated because of marriage equality. We’re hearing even more stories of wedding vendors going on the oﬀensive with the ‘religious freedom’ tune, and as long as there are people like Kim Davis and bakers who don’t want to bake cakes, you’re going to have injustice against people who just want to get married.”

Rights Act (ELCRA) does not protect LGBT people against discrimination in employment and housing. Activists are working hard to update ELCRA to expand those protections, which are more necessary than ever, as antiLGBT legislation is making its way through legislatures across the country – including Michigan’s. What’s more, there’s already a law that allows faith-based adoption and foster-care agencies to discriminate against LGBT people in Michigan, and attacks on the gains made by the community seem relentless at times. But every step forward is worth celebrating, to acknowledge the victory and prepare for the work ahead. And there was certainly no shortage of optimism at the 2016 expo. “Now that marriage equality is here, people are looking at the next steps in their lives and we’re excited to be part of it,” said Tina McNeal-O’Brien, a real estate broker and president of BNI Biz. Networx, which was one of the expo vendors. “As an African-American

woman married to an Irishman, if you look back 50 years, that wouldn’t have been possible for me. It’s all about progress and change. It’s about love and it’s about family.” Stevenson and Horowitz are already making plans for The Ultimate LGBT Wedding & Anniversary Expo in 2017 – and holding fast to the vision of lived equality that the LGBT community will be working toward in the meantime. “The ﬁrst year we did the expo, we had vendors saying, ‘I won’t do anything illegal’ – they were even saying that in 2015, so it’s a huge sea change,” Stevenson says. “But what won’t change is the event’s commitment to activism. It’s always been less about, ‘Let’s throw a party’ and more about, ‘How can we make the community better?’” Mission accomplished, on both counts.

Our LGBT Community Centers Community centers are the bedrock of the LGBT movement, providing safe spaces for LGBT people and allies to meet, receive services, organize, learn, volunteer and give back. The eight community centers in Michigan each provide social programs tailored to the speciﬁc needs of their members and users.
