LET THERE BE LIGHT

Venie Pride Kicked Out of Chamber of Commerce Why the Chamber has chosen to revoke Venice Pride’s membership and effectively cancel the Venice Pride Sign Lighting.

The Venice Chamber of Commerce released a statement Monday in response to Venice Pride Board President Grant Turck’s request for the Chamber to “reverse course and to confirm its intention” in writing regarding the recent revocation of Venice Pride’s Chamber membership. In an open letter to the Venice Board of Chamber last week, Turck claims that the Board of unjustly revoked Venice Pride’s membership to the Chamber of Commerce on March 22. He also said that the Chamber’s decision to take the Venice sign down for “unrelated maintenance” during the month of June was “hateful and offensive” toward the LGBTQ community. “The Venice Chamber of Commerce is strongly in support of our LGBTQ members and the wider LGBTQ community and we always will be,” the Chamber said in a statement released Monday. “We were saddened to learn of the accusations directed at the Chamber by Grant Turck and are therefore forced to clarify and respond.” The Chamber, the appointed custodian of the Venice Sign, said that the Sign Lighting event celebrating gay pride began with a request of Daniel Samakow in 2015, which took over a year to produce the premiere event. Since the event, Venice Pride was incorporated, and at the request of Samakow again, the Chamber allowed an outside organization to run the sign lighting event the next year, which was an “unusual and risky” decision for the Chamber, according to the statement.

The chamber of Commerce has scheduled maintenance rennovation for the Venice Sign for the entire month of June, effectively cancelling the Venice Pride Sign lighting event.

Pride lighting was done under a license on a year-by-year basis. The Chamber said that the primary assurance factor to enter into such an arrangement was “confidence in the oversight of Venice Pride Board of Directors.” However, the entire Board of Directors of Venice Pride has since resigned. The Chamber said in the statement that each Board member had various reasons to resign, “all concerning the actions and behavior of Grant Turck.” Furthermore, the Chamber said that during the two years of Venice Pride’s oversight of the event, there have been a number of direct violations of the agreement, citing the failure to contribute agreed-upon bulb sponsorship fees to the Sign maintenance fund as “most egregious.” The Chamber said that allowing Venice Pride to collect funds for bulb adoptions in order to assist in funding the Sign Lighting was unprecedented, and done as a concrete show of the Chamber’s support for the LGBTQ community. “The fact that the agreed percentage was never paid is unconscionable,” The Chamber said. It is with these reasons that the Chamber qualified its recent actions against Venice Pride. The statement said that the Chamber is working with the former Board members of Venice Pride to create a Pride Committee to help with the production of the sign lighting event in the future.

“This will ensure transparency and accountability and that the event benefits the community and helps maintain the Venice Sign as opposed to benefiting one person,” the Chamber said. However, Turck responded by stating that Venice Pride had, in fact, paid the agreed upon dues. “Venice Pride has always paid the Venice Chamber as agreed,” Turck said. “In 2018, the Chamber opted to pay Venice Pride $3,500 via a member of their executive committee as part of a larger sum to settle accounting errors allegedly made by Chamber leadership involving equipment billed to Venice Pride but used at a June 8 Chamber event. “The Chamber’s failure to keep its promise to our community is a disappointment, but we have a backup sign already in the works.” The Chamber concluded its statement Monday by referencing the maintenance. schedule of the Venice Sign, explaining that it has been nearly 12 years since it had last been renovated. “While from the ground, it appears like no problems exist; we regularly maintain the Sign with an expert technician,” the Chamber said. “And after nearly 12 years there are a number of issues that are problematic and require repair and restoration.” Along with the termination of the membership, the Venice Sign Trademark License

Agreement granted to Venice Pride on April 1, 2017 was revoked, meaning Venice Pride is no longer able to sell apparel such as the shirt largely used in Venice Pride 2019 marketing campaigns. “We hereby demand that Venice Pride immediately cease and desist from using the Venice Sign trademark,” the letter stated. “If you do not cease and desist the infringing activity, we will be forced to take appropriate legal action against you and we will seek all available damages and remedies.” Venice Pride has been a member of the Chamber since February 9, 2017. The Chamber is currently soliciting estimates for the renovation. Maintenance dates have yet to been set.

AWARD SEASON

In 30 Years, GLAAD Has Come a Long Way The 30th Annual GLAAD Media Awards are coming to L.A. on March 28.

Rich Ferraro has been working with GLAAD for 10 years. In that time, he’s been able to see queer representation in global media catch up to the way queer folks live their lives today. Starting with only a handful of nominees in the early days, the hyper-visible award show is now a place where LGBTQ+ can go to see themselves reflected all around the world. The Pride L.A. caught up with GLAAD’s chief commercial officer to talk about progress, inspiration and how far we’ve come. The Pride: What makes this year’s celebrations different? Rich Ferraro: This year is the 30th anniversary of the GLAAD media awards, so we’re looking back at the legacy of the awards and how the nominees throughout the years raised the bar for LGBTQ+-inclusive images in media. What I’m very excited about this year is the caliber of talent in the room. Beyoncé and Jay-Z will be honored in L.A., I expect that their speech about why and how they support LGBTQ+ people is going to be a moment that’s shared around the world. It will reach people living in countries where messages of acceptance are not the norm. The GLAAD media awards has become the most visible event in the world based on press impressions.When we do this show, it’s less about what gown someone is

wearing and more about the message. How are the nominees chosen? We have over 150 nominees in 12 categories, and those are chosen by putting out calls for submissions. We receive over 500 nominations every year, and that number has grown significantly over the past few years. Our staff works in Hollywood and they spend their days advocating for more inclusive media. The winners are voted for by GLAAD’s board of directors and staff, media professionals, previous winners, and major donors. For our honorees, those are selected by our CEO. The criteria for honorees revolve around who’s moved the needle and really educated audiences about LGBTQ+ people, but also who’s going to use that global platform to spread that message around the world. Jay-Z, for instance, came out for marriage equality long before many celebrities. There was a moment last year where he was able to put the spotlight on older, black lesbian members of the community by writing a song about his mother, who is part of that. We think about how our honorees are going to reach audiences around the world and impact them. For our 30th anniversary, we’re going to have some of the biggest stars in the world as honorees, including Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and Madonna. Do you imagine it getting political this year? We always use our stage to make political, cultural messages. Before our celebrities go onstage, we let them know that it’s not going to be enough just to read the nominees off. We only allow people on our stage who are going to use that time to further acceptance. Has there ever been a piece of media that’s been extremely divisive for voters? This year we did remove the film “Bohemian Rhapsody” from contention in solidarity with the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements after the Atlantic put out an article about Bryan Singer’s alleged assault. That was a very tough decision because the film itself has had a lot of great impact around the world. It’s been screened in countries where audience members likely never saw a bisexual lead character before. The footage that they include of the HIV/AIDS crisis was important for people to see as well. The movie brought up really important issues, but we wanted to make a statement about Bryan Singer and standing in solidarity with survivors of sexual assault. What’s the most exciting change in media that you’ve seen since the GLAAD awards began? If you look back to the early ceremonies, there were less than a dozen nominees in total, because there were so few portrayals of LGBTQ+ characters, especially when you factor in accurate and positive interpreta-

tions. So much of it was anti-LGBTQ+ and based on stereotypes. Now, we’re looking at this huge pool of potential nominees. It includes outlets like Ebony, it includes video game companies. There’s a huge diversity of media genres and outlets. It speaks to the idea that LGBTQ+ people are more visible in the media and that there’s so much great content and stories about our lives being shared. What I’m excited about is that we get to recognize and honor the media proj-

ects that are raising the bar. The quantity is there, but the quality can still be improved. I think what you’ll see this year is that the stories are bold and original and have never been told before. That sends a message to the media industry and the people who actively campaign for these awards. We can incentivize them to tell stories that embrace diversity, whether racial or religious or socio-economic in our community, and that’s going to lead to even better LGBTQ+ media.

“The rainbow, to me, ecompasses everybody — doesn’t matter what your gender, your preference or your color,” Segerblom said.

The history behind the woman who made the rainbow flag. Lynn Segerblom wants to share her story – one that provides a different perspective on the LGBTQ+ rainbow flag’s origin. Not only would Segerblom appreciate credit for her work in designing the now internationally-recognized LGBTQ+ symbol, but she’s ready to create new handmade flags for the queer community. For years, sole credit for the flag’s creation has been given to Gilbert Baker, one of three flag creators. The New York Times coined Baker the “gay activist who created the rainbow flag.” The Museum of Modern Art credits Baker with having conceived the design. Furthermore, MoMA claims each color on the flag is imbued with meaning, “red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, blue for serenity and violet for spirit.”

Segerblom, however, does not agree with the aforementioned. She and James McNamara were also heavily involved in the flag-making process – as opposed to the widespread notion that Baker was the rainbow flag’s exclusive creator. “There were three of us who were the flagmakers,” Segerblom said. “But the design – that was not his idea.” The original rainbow flag, which was created in 1978 for San Francisco's first Gay Freedom Day Parade, was hand-sewn and hand-dyed. It took hours of labor and help from an array of volunteers to finish, Segerblom said. The flag was completed through an extensive group effort at San Francisco's Gay Community Center. As for the rainbow design, it came from Segerblom herself, who – during the 1970s – was known by her alias: Faerie Argyle Rainbow. “They [members of the Gay Community Center] asked me to on the decorations

from page 4 committee – so it was Gilbert and I on the decorations committee,” Segerblom said. “But the day that we met with the committee to decide what it [the flag] was going to be, Gilbert was not there. I had already come up with the rainbow idea.” Segerblom was passionate about rainbows during the time. She said that she thought a rainbow would be a beautiful way to represent the LGBTQ+ community’s colorful members. “The rainbow – to me – ecompasses everybody; doesn’t matter what your gender, your preference or your color,” Segerblom said. “Here we have this whole spectrum, from pink to violet. It encompasses everyone.” During the ‘70s, Segerblom made a living from hand-dying clothes for designers. The Gay Community Center rented out a room to Segerblom for her hand-dying projects. She said that she was at the community center at least five to six days a week. Aside from designing, she played a major role in the hand-dying process of the original rainbow flags. After six weeks of a collective, and challenging, flag-making effort – a process involving 1,000 yards of cotton muslin – an array of flags were produced. Among these flags, the rainbow flag, and another flag – donning rainbow stripes and stars (which Segerblom also takes credit for designing), were made. A test-flight took place, before the Gay Freedom Day Parade, to make sure that the flags would fly as planned the day of the event. “I was just in awe that it worked,” Segerblom said regarding the flags’ test flight. “I was so relieved, so relieved. Because I thought about them day and night. We were under time pressure, too. For awhile, I thought we’re not going to get this done on time. That would’ve been terrible.” 41 years later, Segerblom plans to recreate the original hand-dyed rainbow flag designs, along with making the first-ever hand-dyed Transgender Flag in honor of its 20th anniversary. She recently announced a “GoFundMe” campaign to aid her in this

process.Aside from celebrating the rainbow flag’s anniversary, the new flags would compensate for the original handmade rainbow flags which were stolen at the Gay Community Center shortly after their debut at the Gay Freedom Day Parade, [Segerblom said] “The flags belonged to the community – not to one person or two people,” Segerblom said. “It had to be more than one person [who stole the flags] because they weighed so much – it takes two or three people to carry one flag.” Segerblom said that she plans to honor the LGBTQ+ community with her handmade rainbow designs one more time. The flags she is acquiring funds for would, respectively, go to the Los Angeles LGBTQ+ Center, the City of West Hollywood, Boys & Girls Club of America and Transgender Flag creator Monica Helms “to be carried in the World Pride NYC Parade in June 2019,” according to the project’s GoFundMe page. Yet, unlike in 1978, where a plethora of volunteers cooperatively brought the rainbow flag to fruition, Segerblom is on her own for this new project. Although she’s passionate about flag-making, and is wellversed in the process, she admits that she could use help – both in making the flags

and funding the development. “I’ll just be really glad that we can make some cotton, hand-dyed rainbow flags – that we can pull it off,” Segerblom said. “There’s no such thing as a free flag – like as it didn’t cost anything to make it. Somebody has got to get all of the pieces, and then we put it together – a group of somebodies. People have to pay for the fabric, and whoever does the sewing has got to be paid, too.” Segerblom said that her campaign is in need of someone to help her dye the flags – a process that can be time-consuming and laborious. Furthermore, an ironer and someone willing to wash the flags repeatedly – a crucial step in the flag-making process – are needed. “I can’t do it only by myself,” Segerblom said. Aside from her latest campaign, Segerblom is excited that her contribution to LGBTQ+ history is finally being shared. The rainbow flag, which is displayed in establishments and places around the world, is used to signal an environment welcoming of LGBTQ+ people. The flag’s significance revolves around diversity, equality and LGBTQ+ pride.

“The flags belonged to the community – not to one person or two people,”

GAY L.A.

Hollywood’s First Out Gay Star Was So Much More

In the 1920s and 30s, William Haines refused to play by society’s rules.

In the studio system of the silent film era, something magical was happening. As the movies reached the end of their first period of true maturity in 1925, three men could be identified as the biggest box office draws. Ramon Novarro, the dark, brooding actor who had appeared naked but for a loin cloth in that year’s big release “Ben Hur;” Rudolph Valentino, another “Latin Lover” of no actual Latino descent, whose claim to fame lay in roles that showed off his impressive physique; and a man named William Haines who starred in a series of profitable MGM comedies. All three of these men were queer or dealt with rumors to that effect. All of them were extraordinarily beautiful, and all of them were forces to be reckoned with in the burgeoning entertainment industry. Valentino would meet his untimely end in 1926, as a result of an infected appendix. Novarro would likewise meet an unexpected, grisly end

due to a violent anti-gay hate crime in 1968. Of these three men responsible for shaping the way America thought about masculinity, only one got the benefit of a happy ending. When William Haines came on the scene, the film industry was still new.While there was more room for experimentation and freedom when it came to stories about “subversive” identities, the industry was still trying to tone down on the sex, drugs and perversion of it all, especially following a few high-profile deaths in the early 1920s. Haines had started to make his name playing brash, cocky, irrepressible go-getters from a West Point cadet to a Harvard man.

Even after the talkies began to change Hollywood forever, Haines was still able to find roles and transition easily.The fact that he was openly gay and lived with his longterm partner Jimmie Shields wasn’t a problem. Until it was. With film attendance slipping, MGM Head Louis B. Mayer told Haines in 1933, after a scandalous YMCA arrest, that he would have to get married or get another career. Haines’ reply? “I am married.” He lived out the rest of his days with Shields and became one of Hollywood’s most successful interior decorators to the stars,

GOTTA COLLECT ‘EM ALL

Queer Kids Trading Cards Take Over L.A. How many have you collected so far?

"I'll trade you a graphic designer for an equal rights advocate." The generation that was raised on trading cards is all grown up, but still yearning to collect them all. Queer Kids is here to help. With trading cards primarily featuring Queer People of Color (QPOC), this Los Angeles based community group is looking to expand the local network, and have fun while doing it too. The Pride L.A. spoke with Queer Kids founder Asher Cano about the importance of the project on the LGBTQ+ community. Check it out below: The Pride L.A.: What is your involvement with Queer Kids? Asher Cano: I am the founder of Queer Kids. I am involved in the whole process from concept to production to creation – except for the actual taking of the photos. I leave that up to our talented photographer Jessica Marie. In one sentence, what is Queer Kids? How long has it existed? Queer Kids is a series of LGBTQ+ trading cards featuring your very own local queer community. We launched QK in October 2018. What specific event/reason/moment pushed you to create Queer Kids? It is no surprise that there is a lack of representation in the media when it comes to those LGBTQ; however, there is an even larger absence of representation when it comes those who are both a person of color and LGBTQ. Queer Kids was an idea that had been on the back of my mind for years. When I came out as non-binary and started trying to find others like me that’s when I realized the need for this project. I was searching for something more in

the community, something I was having trouble finding. I was searching for folks I could look up to and those I could relate to. I was looking for people who not only identified similar to me, but also looked like me. I find many others are doing the same. Now, why trading cards? Well I wanted something fun, something nostalgic that encouraged engagement between folks that wasn’t solely online. I wanted something that I wish I had as a child. How do you find people to feature on the cards? The first few cards were really just a few of my friends and some of their friends. After that we have been letting word of mouth and the buzz do its work. The project itself is all about community, and we love that people are sharing this project with those close to them and sending them our way. Aside from that, we look for local LGBTQ people in our community who are making a difference. We find for those who are willing and able to speak out and tell their story. Who have been some memorable folks featured on the cards? Charlie Ruiz Vazquez (he/she/they) Charlie was one of the first people to participate in QKs. Before meeting them, we had only photographed a couple of friends. At the time we met, Charlie was working at Mi Centro. Mi Centro is a partnership between the Los Angeles LGBT Center and the Latino Equality Alliance. Charlie is someone that inspires us with all the work they do for the LGBTQ+ youth. Even after shooting with us, Charlie continues to help us with future endeavors and keeps a keen eye on opportunities for QK. Nik Kacy (they/them) Nik was someone I met at our first Queer Kids event. They first caught my eye when they posted on our Facebook page. They

said they wished this project were something they had when they were younger. We loved that they understood our vision. Nik’s activism, involvement and passion for the community is what immediately drew us to them. They are someone we look up to and hope to continue working with. Frankly, there are so many amazing folks in our community and so many memorable stories. And to think we have just begun! Everyone we get the chance to meet with has given us the chance to share their story and we are so honored. How is it more than just trading cards? (Creates community, representation, resources, etc) You’re right; we are much more than trading cards. Queer Kids mission is to celebrate and highlight QPOC, those marginalized and underrepresented in the LGBTQ+ community by allowing them to connect, share advice, share stories and learn about each other in a fun way. The cards and project allow folks to be their own representation and find a deeper sense of community among peers. In addition, the project is designed to be a resource for queer youth and focuses on giving back by partnering with local non-profits. Why should someone participate in Queer Kids? Queer Kids is all about helping those who are in need, those who are maybe one step behind you in their journey. It’s about continuing to strengthen our community and foster queer spaces. It’s about being able to be that representation, tell your story and have some fun doing it. Why is it important to foster queer safe spaces in the local community? The importance of safe queer spaces in the community is so crucial. Queer folks need spaces to not worry about judgment and to not worry about their safety. They

need spaces where they can be open, talk freely; a place to feel supported and loved. We do our best to foster safe spaces with our events and online. It is important for the community continue to push for these spaces to exist and support those that do exist. What’s in store for Queer Kids’ future? In the future (soon future), we have plans to grow. Since this project is about representation, the power that plays and the need for making that space, it is important that we expand to other locations and continue to reach as many folks as possible. Not to mention, we recently received our first batch of physical samples of the trading cards – so we are excited about that! The next event for Queer Kids will take place on Sunday, March 24 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at a photoshoot pop-up at the Sunday Funday Queer Brunch in Long Beach.

Why did you decide to create it? I have a passion for helping other artists and have received so much support myself from my communities that I felt driven to offer my gallery up to others to have a place where their talents can be seen and appreciated and where they can interact with other artists in the spirit of support and acceptance. How will it highlight women in the community? By offering a space and support for female

artist by another artist I hope to create an environment that allows the artists to share and meet others and build on our community of support and encouragement for one another as both females and artists. How is it inclusive of the LGBTQ+ community? There are many talents and interests in the LGBTQ+ community just like in other communities. We want to ensure all know they are welcome and provide a venue and event forum for artists and art aficionados to group together. Artists, females and members of the LGBTQ communities are all made stronger the more we support and come out for one another. What are some of your other experiences as a professional artist? I love to see people happy taking their new art to their homes. I love the support & encouragement I receive and can give to others by sharing our journeys. . Because I’ve been blessed to have had the experience of having seen my art appreciated I wanted to open my gallery and expand that opportunity for others. And I experience being and artist we all so

unique and we always be someone to love our art creations. So I want to share this to other artist to believe in them self and put there art out there for others to enjoy it. Achievements, exhibits, other shows? I recently open my third Gallery .I love doing shows and including everyone to be part of my events. I do events for children at the hospitals, painting classes for kids. I donate 50% of my profits to events for children or children’s funerals. I recently had a show for my gallery and is was beautiful to see the support of others and the big smiles. I do events every month in different locations in Southern California. As I juggle that I am also currently working on a building

in Beverly Hills/ Los Angeles doing multiple offices with my abstract paintings. This was commissioned for 120 panels with my abstract creations in 6 level parking structure as well as pieces for the building’s elevators. I also work with designers in new homes and structures. What do you think of the art scene in Los Angeles? I find the LA art scene very astute and cultured and open to a variety of art. I personally would like to see more galleries allowing “unheard” of artists to be a part of their events. I think it would provide more depth and interest at the same time supporting all artists (known and unknown). We can all use more art and artists can always use more exposure and support! The Gallery is located at 640 S. San Vicente Blvd., L.A. Outside the April 14 show, the gallery is by appointment only. Appointments time are: Monday-Thursday from 6:30-9 p.m.; Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Events are posted online. To schedule an appointment or inquire about an event, call 310.927.5516 or 424.302.8726.

GETTIN’ SPORTY

Q&A: Season Opener for Angel City Derby

Meet Angel City Derby (ACD), a fierce bunch of women, girls and gender non-conforming individuals with one thing in common:They love to skate competatively in the form of roller Derby. The Pride L.A. spoke with three skaters to see what derby life is all about. Check it out: In one sentence, what is Angel City Derby? Buenas Tardis - I feel like Angel City Derby is community made to make women and those marginalized feel empowered. Coco Butther - ACD is a highly competitive roller derby league that focuses on sport and athleticism. D/Vide-N Stomp-Her - A place where you can find your type of weird and be celebrated for it. Why did you join? Buenas Tardis - I joined ACD because I was curious about the sport and also was at a place where I felt I needed to do something to get out of the rut I found myself in. I wanted to do something challenging that scared me. Something that would challenge every facet of my introvert personality. Coco Butther - I loved to skate as a teen and wanted a place to continue my love of eight wheels. I’ve also always competed in sports and was looking for a way to continue doing that as an adult. Plus fitness and fun were next on my list. D/Vide-N Stomp-Her - I was always into team sports and being in L.A. for about two years at the time I felt that I needed to get healthier since going to the gym is super boring to me. It helped that the sport seemed super cool.

What did you think of roller derby before joining? What do you think about it now? Buenas Tardis - Before joining Roller Derby, I only really had the representations of it through TV and Film so I thought it was this magical crazy sport where women and all sorts of people became superheros for themselves! Having been at ACD for close to six years I still feel very much the same. Sure, my perception of Derby is much more grounded in reality but to me, it's still an incubator where people find their inner power to become everyday superheroes or really just be empowered. Coco Butther - I thought those women are tough and badasses! I still think the same now. But now I see that people come to derby for different reasons; but typically everyone is looking to fill a piece they have been missing. For some it’s community. For some it’s athleticism and competition. For all it’s a journey to push yourself to do more than you thought you could. D/Vide-N Stomp-Her - That it was fake, like wrestling. Definitely not fake, those hits are real and the game is very strategic.

Angel City Derby’s season opener is this Saturday, March 23 in Culver City.

What have you personally accomplished/achieved since joining? Buenas Tardis - I found my passion for athletics through Derby. I consider that a huge accomplishment because in my younger years I was never considered "sporty" or athletic. I very much enjoyed doing indoor activities. But through Derby, I've accomplished amazing physical feats I never thought I'd ever be able to do. I have achieved a high respect and love for my body and really all types of bodies. Also the friends and diverse community derby fosters gives me so much more insight to the world as a whole. It's awesome! To me that's a huge personal accomplishment. Coco Butther - I lost 60lbs before starting roller derby. I’ve managed to keep the weight off for four years due to the physicality of the sport. I went from being a b/c skater to moving up to the regional A team and being a leader and skater who starts most games. I was nominated and won Best Blocker three years in a row and my first season I was awarded Best Newcomer. These awards mean more that they came from my team and league mates, than any other award I’ve received. D/Vide-N Stomp-Her - After eight seasons, I've been on almost every team in the league and been a captain for three seasons. I've gotten physically and mentally stronger. Most importantly I've found my tribe here, they are my chosen family. What are some recent team achievements? Buenas Tardis - Last season the team I play with, The Road Ragers had an UNDEFEATED season! We all worked so hard and gelled so well! Coco Butther - The Shore Shots came

back from hiatus and are working to revamp the team with new blood and new skaters that will take the team into the future. D/Vide-N Stomp-Her - The Shore Shots are the fun team to watch, we know how to work a crowd. The Shots also play the local A-level teams which makes for fun rivalries. What’s in the future for ACD? Buenas Tardis - The future of ACD is grounded in inclusivity. I see ACD really taking on the mantle of being a progressive league as well as taking on accountability when we make mistakes. So much of today's sports glosses over issues that affect the communities their players belong to. I see ACD really showing the derby/sports world what it means to be an inclusive sport and what that looks like. Derby always has been a progressive sport and ACD especially takes pride in being inclusive. But as a sport and a league we have a ways to go and I see ACD working hard to grow and learn as our community becomes all the more diverse. D/Vide-N Stomp-Her - To continue to grow the sport of Roller Derby and to integrate ourselves within the communities where we practice and skate. Since it is women’s history month and ACD is a safe space for women, trans, and nonbinary individuals, how is ACD empowering to women, girls and gender non-conforming folk? Buenas Tardis - The fact that ACD accepts all bodies and gives women and really all people a space to be loud, fail, and try again and still feel good about themselves within a supportive community is... rare. It's empowering in the way that ACD tells a person, “Hey

it doesn't matter who you are or what type of body you have...come play.” For a little girl that message is powerful and for a grown adult that message it transformative. I know I'm not the same woman I was when I first joined derby and that's a good thing. Derby has empowered me to use my voice and take ownership of my body and more that that had me make connections with people I now consider life long friends. If that's not enriching and empowering, then I don't know what is. Coco Butther - Roller Derby in general is a female led sport. Young girls can see that they can be any shape, size, color, ethnicity, etc and find a home in this sport. It is empowering for young people to see moms, professionals, students... on the track taking space and doing what they love D/Vide-N Stomp-Her - Speaking as a skater, our sport encourages strength and power. We want to see all our members do their best and achieve their goals. How is it inclusive with the LGBTQ+ community? Buenas Tardis - I think ACD really takes pride in our diverse member base. I haven't found a sport that really communicates “all are welcome.” With the rise of social media I believe ACD has really made strides to communicate to the world that “all are welcome” here. There is no set image of femininity, masculinity, or heteronormativity one has to fit into to skate with ACD. Everyone CAN play and everyone SHOULD play. Being a bisexual cis woman I had never prior to derby met more people within the community. It gives us all a safe space to express ourselves with the added benefits of being physical in a way that the society might say isn't the norm. Coco Butther - Many queer people have found a home in roller derby because the sport has always been a safe haven for those that don’t feel accepted by society. As a bisexual woman of color, I see myself in many of my peers who skate or officiate. ACD has undergone training to be more sensitive and understanding of the LGBTQIA community and how to speak in a way to be inclusive of all. D/Vide-N Stomp-Her - As a bisexual I was so happy to find so many others like me at Angel City. It's definitely a safe space for the LGBTQ+ population. I often joke that Angel City LGBTQ+ outnumber the amount of straight people in the league, which is also pretty refreshing. I think what makes ACD so inclusive is the fact that being LGBTQ+ is a such non factor, like having brown eyes or curly hair, it's like "oh that's cool, hey want to get food after practice?" Angel City Derby’s season opener is this Saturday, March 23 in Culver City. For more information, visit the ACD website at angelcityderby.com.

DEAR AIDAN

DEAR AIDAN: Will Indidelity Be My Downfall?

Dear Aidan, I have been in two long term relationships in my lifetime and I have cheated on my partner in both of the scenarios. I don't trust myself in relationships. I am really worried that I will never be able to have a healthy relationship in which I can honor my agreements to my partner. Am I doomed to be single for the rest of my life?

Dear Carrie Underwood's boyfriend, This is a topic of conversation that is quite sensitive to the public at large. I applaud you for coming forward and asking this question because infidelity is one of the most looked down upon acts, as the Public sees it. Good for you for addressing it. In the way the question is phrased there is a lot of DOOM and GLOOM and I AM BAD and yada, yada, yada. First, we are going to address how you talk to yourself because the harder you are on yourself, the more you will get stuck in that narrative of "I am a cheater." I am going to make two statements about your situation and I would like for you to think about which statement feels better to you as you read

it, and which of the two set of beliefs will provide you the best opportunity for growth and change. Statement 1: “I cannot be trusted as a romantic partner and I have ruined both my past relationships. I'm gonna be single for the rest of my life.” Statement 2: “I have been unfaithful in my past relationships and through those experiences I am more clear than ever that I want to honor my word. I am showing that I am taking steps for change for my future lover. I see how even though I have done things that I am not proud of, I am making room for change – which gives me hope for the future.” The end goal here is to do whatever it takes to facilitate the change you want in your life. The second statement should give you some empowerment over the situation because you are looking AHEAD. You cannot change the past. No matter HOW BADLY you choose to feel about the situation, no one is giving you a marrtyr medal. So lets get off the self-imposed torture and move forward. May I suggest that the next time you are in a relationship, you stop pushing against cheating, and move toward a closer relationship with your partner? Imagine this kind of relationship:You have

a partner and the two of you have absolutely no secrets from one another, you say what is on your minds and respect and honor one another a great deal. Both of you make the relationship important, and make sure that each other is aware of the love and appreciatiation for one another that you both you have. The sex is amazing! Not only is there chemistry, but it keeps getting better as you create a deeper emotional connection. People. Really. Need. To. Get. This: A relationship like the one described above doesn't just happen! It takes work. It takes difficult conversations amd acquiescing on stupid thing that don't mattter! It also requires a huge level of personal responsibility to not blame your partner. All those things are something that you can actively focus on once you are in a relationship in order to have a deeper, more meaningful connection. You can’t do anything about “not cheating,” short of chopping IT of!? But you can certainly work on being the absolute best partner you can be to help create the best relationship in the world! It is my hope that you and your partner work together to create something so unique that anything else would not even be a consideration, thus making cheating an unwanted out.

STAR GAZING

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You may wake up late, talk with the younger members of your office and not notice the evening coming. It is recommended that you spend the nighttime not at the next party, but at home, doing some leisurely work. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Taurus today will have to abandon a previously planned event. You do not want to spend a lot of time in a traffic jam, so you postpone a visit to members of your family, citing unfortunate circumstances. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Gemini is recommended to today on work duties related to the most routine matters. Such a banal script will be useful to all members of your company (especially your closest friend at work). In the morning he will arrange some drama by discussing topics related to a highly spiritual issue. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Cancers will be unhappy with the scenario of this day, which will be suggested by one of their relatives. He will hint that you should refrain from visiting guests, referring to the fact that the week has been very boring. You will insist on the opposite. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Leos should avoid major costs associated with a very costly purchase. You cannot buy this thing in a store for a fabulously high price, but on one of the private websites, where individuals have placed their ads. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Virgos will be very lazy. Trying to overcome a lack of energy, you will brew strong coffee several times. Alas, this drink will not cheer you up, unlike a small workplace scandal. You and your regular colleague will not be able to calmly decide who should prepare a report, and who is obliged to do some cleaning. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Libras today will act as peacekeepers. In the evening you will go to visit your family friends, from the threshold realizing that you arrive at a bad time. The couple will quarrel between themselves because of a mere accident, and it will be strange to you to see that they can not come to a compromise. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) Scorpios on this day will refuse to take on faith words heard from their close friend. He will tell you that the person with whom you want to start a romance is using you for their own interests, without having real feelings for you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) This day will give full emotional relaxation. You will spend time on a short trip, which will leave a pleasant impression in your memory. You will only return home late in the evening, and you will not have the strength even to empty out the bags. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Capricorns will be far from everything connected with life or finances. You will be consumed by loving feelings for your new better half (or, if you have had a permanent partner for a long time, you will enjoy renewed affection). AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) This day will not bring any special joy, nor painful disappointments. You leisurely do basic workplace affairs, watch an interesting presentation and enjoy your favorite lunch meal. The day will pass, leaving behind you only one vivid memory. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Pisces is not recommended to stay home, sacrificing work and income. Much more correct for you and your family, if the weather permits, go to work and only afterward visit relatives living somewhere in the country.
