Jared Gelman - Proximity
“The song itself has a lot of sexual undertones, so I wanted to juxtapose that with a video that solely featured me” says Gelman about the visuals for his video. Diving deeper into his artistic choices, he continues, “The aim was to maintain the sonic undertones of intimacy, even when parts of the visual were more in your face.”

Joey LaBeija - Tears In My Hennessey
Affiliated with friends and collaborators like Bbymutha and LSDXOXO, his DJ sets mix everything from ballroom to reggaeton to edits from forward-thinking club.
Today he shares the lead single from his most personal project to date - a new full length album also called Tears In My Hennessey.
“Tears In My Hennessey is an introspective journey about allowing myself to meet with disaster, embracing vulnerability and deciding which path to take in order to heal: self care or destruction.”
“I wrote this project over the course of two months last summer while I was living out of my recording studio in Brooklyn with no money on the verge of a breakup to my partner of 3 years. Each song is very specific to circumstance at and was produced/recorded/finished one by one until the record felt complete. Sonically, the production and songwriting is a solid nod to my musical influences Roisin Murphy, Robyn, Burial, Missy Elliot & Portishead.”
DNC: Trump’s False Statement on Trans Service Members
“Our country’s military deserves more than a commander-in-chief who is willing to lie and make up facts to support his senseless and harmful policies against trans service members. All service members who put their lives on the line for their country deserve the respect of their leaders, but President Trump’s discrimination makes a mockery of their sacrifices. Our country and our military deserve better than his failed leadership.”

Denver Metro Hike for Hope is June 16th
“Last year nearly 1,000 people across the United States participated in one of these Hike for Hope events,” said Nancy Medina, Chair of the AFSP Colorado Chapter. “By joining together in a community hike, we hope that people will realize that it’s important to take care of mental health as well as your physical health. Together, as a community, we can help prevent suicide.”
The Denver Metro Hike for Hope is one of many hikes being held by AFSP chapters nationwide this year. Funds raised at the Denver Metro Hike for Hope will support AFSP’s advocacy efforts, including helping fund the National Advocacy Forum, where AFSP volunteers visit Washington, D.C. annually to advocate for access to mental health services.
“These events are about creating greater awareness for mental health and suicide prevention,” said Dr. Christine Moutier, AFSP chief medical officer. “Participants in the Denver Metro Hike for Hope are doing their part to change the conversation about mental health conditions. Their public support of suicide prevention is the first step in making people realize that taking care of one’s mental health is the smart, strong thing to do.”

NBJC Statement on Murder of Chynal Lindsey: “We Are Still Fighting For Our Lives”
“Chynal Lindsey is now the eighth Black transgender woman killed this year and reported by the news. This tragic event is especially difficult since last month’s murder of our sister Muhlaysia Booker. While many are celebrating Pride Month, Black women and girls are being murdered across the country and too few people are acknowledging this reality and trying to stop these deaths.
“Black lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and same gender loving (LGBTQ/SGL) people cannot celebrate Pride because we are still fighting for our lives — literally. In addition to attempts to advance legislation like the Equality Act or to train first responders in cultural competence, we must also endeavor to protect and support Black trans women and girls.
“The murder of Chynal Lindsey, at the beginning of Pride Month, should serve as a chilling reminder that there is more work to do to raise awareness about the lived experiences and challenges facing Black women and girls, including Black trans women and girls.
“Our call to action is simple: contribute to gender justice by creating and sustaining safe, supportive, and affirming environments for all Black women and girls—and all means all. This work begins by recognizing the diversity that exists within our community and holding space for everyone to show up just as they are.”
“The National Black Justice Coalition is committed to ensuring gender justice so that all Black community members can get free!”

Todrick Hall Joins Paula Abdul @ LA Pride!
The LA Pride Friday night
programming features a variety of opportunities for the community to
participate in the festivities at no cost. The Opening Ceremony begins
at 8pm with special remarks from a diverse mix
of community and spiritual leaders and advocates for the LGBTQ+
community. LA Pride’s presenting sponsor, Verizon, will also host the US
premiere of their documentary film,
5B, which follows the inspirational story of nurses and caregivers of the first HIV/AIDS ward in the country.
Additional entertainment for the evening includes a full night of music and dancing from local DJs.
“I’m so
excited to join the amazing lineup of this year’s LA Pride Festival. The
weekend is going to be unforgettable, and I can’t wait to get the Haus
Party started,” said Todrick Hall. “We are going to celebrate this
year’s #JUSTUNITE theme together as a community!”
The
Opening Ceremony provides a great opportunity for the community to
#JUSTUNITE and come together before the festival. #JUSTUNITE makes a
simple, yet powerful statement: that the work the LGBTQ+
community does together is ultimately what will make it stronger and
more resilient than ever before.
Ticket
sales and proceeds from the LA Pride Festival support and fund the LA
Pride Parade and CSW’s philanthropic efforts. This includes
community-wide programs like
Casa del Sol, a joint project with APLA Health that provides low-income housing to people living with HIV/AIDS, and
PLATform, a policy, leadership, and advocacy training program to
help amplify the voices of the transgender community. Additionally,
proceeds benefit the
USC GLASS Endowed Scholarship, a grant program awarded to
students to help them conduct research affirming the important role the
LGBTQ+ community plays in society today. Funds raised will also help CSW
prepare for its 50th anniversary in
2020.
