RiNo celebrates area's past with new historic signage

The RiNo Art District, in partnership with Historic Denver, is commemorating the history of North Denver with new historic interpretive signage in the district. In total, 36 signs will be installed along Brighton Blvd, Chestnut Pl, Arkins Ct, Delgany St, and Walnut St. These signs will list the historic street name, neighborhood or area name, and will include a historic map graphic. The signage was designed by Inherent Character in collaboration with the RiNo Art District.
 

“Each medallion displays a historic street name and current neighborhood along with various pre-20th century maps that illustrate the former streets and grid,” said Kelan Smith with Inherent Character. “Some former street names are descriptive of a story or a place from the past that is no longer there while other streets were re-named deliberately to differentiate the area from Lower Downtown.”

“The historic neighborhoods that the River North Art District occupies are the foundation of what we are today,” said Chandler Romeo, RiNo Art District Co-Chair. “The spirit of the Historic Signage program is to raise awareness of these historic neighborhoods — Elyria-Swansea, Globeville, Five Points and Cole.” 

The project was funded in part by Historic Denver as part of its Action Fund, “a program designed to support innovative community projects that enhance and celebrate the city’s identity, character, and heritage,” said Shannon Stage, Historic Denver’s Preservation Coordinator. The signs will be permanently affixed throughout the RiNo Art District as a means to further educate on the area’s history.

“We wanted to take the opportunity to help visitors and residents alike understand the dynamic past of the area,” said RiNo Art District President and Co-Founder, Tracy Weil. “I hope that people use this as a jumping off point to learn more about their city and its vibrant history.”

Each sign will be installed in prominent pedestrian zones to increase cognizance of the history behind the once industrial hub as well as celebrate the four historic neighborhoods within the RiNo Art District boundaries. The signs were designed by RiNo Art District and Inherent Character and are being installed throughout the month of November.

“It's important to respect and remember our past as we move forward as a district,” said RiNo Art District President, Tracy Weil. “This interpretive program in collaboration with Historic Denver honors those who came before us and will serve as a reminder of how we got here.”

152 LGBTQ Elected Officials Call on 116th Congress to Act on Four Key Initiatives to Advance LGBTQ Equality

More than 150 openly LGBTQ elected officials and newly elected officials from across the nation are calling on the incoming U.S. Congress to act on four key initiatives related to LGBTQ equality. The letter was drafted after a closed-door convening of LGBTQ elected officials at LGBTQ Victory Institute’s International LGBTQ Leaders Conference last week. The conference is the largest convening of LGBTQ elected officials in the world – with more than 140 elected officials from 26 countries, as well as 400 other advocates and leaders.   
 

The letter calls on Congress to:

1. pass The Equality Act to expand non-discrimination protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity;
2. reduce HIV/AIDS by forming an advisory commission, advocating a “Getting to Zero” goal, and taking proactive measures to address disparities in communities of color;
3. protect trans people from anti-trans Trump administration policies and other measures; and
4. improve LGBTQ rights globally by supporting asylum claims and ensuring LGBTQ rights is a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy.

“LGBTQ political power is growing thanks to the rainbow wave of LGBTQ people who won elected office in November – and this letter is the first sign of us wielding that new power,” said Mayor Annise Parker, President & CEO of LGBTQ Victory Institute. “The current U.S. Congress failed to advance equality policies and legislation that most Americans support: non-discrimination protections, addressing the HIV/AIDS crisis, protecting trans people from abusive policies, and being a moral voice on the global stage. The next Congress can remedy these wrongs and LGBTQ elected officials are determined to add their voice and energize their constituents around these important measures. The officials who attended our conference and signed this letter won elected office because voters demanded authentic, values-driven leadership. That is what they are delivering on and we hope the new Congress delivers as well.”

The letter will be delivered to members of Congress in the next session and was spearheaded by West Hollywood City Councilmember John Heilman and organized by LGBTQ Victory Institute. The complete text can be found at victoryinstitute.org/116congressletter.

 In 1:54, Tim is a shy sixteen-year-old athlete with a natural gift for running, dealing with the loss of his mother as well as his sexuality. However, the last four years of high school have been tough on him because of Jeff and his crew. In his last year of school, Tim is sick and tired of feeling like a loser, and wants to shine for once. He decides to stand up to Jeff by dethroning him in the 800m championship, the event Jeff is known for in school. But behind the competition and rivalry, a secret is wreaking havoc. After a personal video is shared on social media, Tim’s private life is about to explode into the public eye. Soon Tim finds himself pushed to the edge because of the pressure he endures, the edge where human limits reach the point of no return.

Sin City Classic LGBTQ Sports Festival Returns for 12th Year

The Greater Los Angeles Softball Association (GLASA) is pleased to announce that 20 sports will compete at the 12th annual Sin City Classic Sports Festival. With registration now open, the festival has grown to include a global footprint and has become the world’s largest annual LGBTQ sporting event. The 2019 Sin City Classic will take place on January 17-20, 2019, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“As the festival continues to thrive, we know our athletes’ expectations remain high. To that end, we have added more nightly events than ever before to help keep the athletes busy both competing and making connections with other athletes and friends over the course of the four days,” said Ken Scearce, tournament director for Sin City Classic.

Each January the festival brings together LGBTQ sports associations from around the world in order for LGBTQ athletes, fans and allies to enjoy a weekend full of competition, companionship and fun. In addition to a full roster of sporting competitions, the festival includes nightly social events, including an Opening Night registration party and the Closing Night celebration, which will be held at the LINQ Promenade’s Brooklyn Bowl.

This year the Sin City Class has adopted a new initiative, “Play You.” The tournament welcomes all athletes, regardless of sexual orientation, and promotes an open environment for everyone to participate in sports through the “Play You” initiative. Athletes attending the festival “play” sports in their local communities, but it is not always easy to be “you” in some cities. The Sin City Classic encourages athletes to attend, participate and live authentically.

GLASA started the Sin City Classic 12 years ago as a softball tournament. Over the years the tournament has grown to include over 240 participating softball teams, as well as an additional 24 sports having participated at some point throughout the years. GLASA remains committed to creating the best experience possible for all the dedicated athletes who participate and the fans and allies to come to enjoy the festival.

“Since 1978, GLASA’s mission has been to create a fun, safe and welcoming environment for LGBTQ people to play sports, regardless of their athletic experience or ability. While our primary focus is softball, partnering with many other great sports organizations on the Sin City Classic has allowed us to reach so many more people,” said GLASA Commissioner Larry Ruiz. “We sincerely hope that the Sin City Classic in Las Vegas is a blast for everyone who attends. We also hope that it helps to grow excitement for LGBTQ sports in local communities everywhere.”
