LGBTQ+ Trailblazers of San Francisco
Famous and forgotten, theyâre all our fabulous ancestors.
From Charles Warren Stoddard, the first openly gay San Franciscan, to Felicia âFlamesâ Elizondo, the exuberant transgender rights advocate, the LGBT community is integrally woven into the fabric of the cityâs history. Household names like Queen Califia, Charley Parkhurst, Elsa Gidlow, Jose Sarria and Harvey Milk are celebrated worldwide, while Bert LaRose, Mabel Edison and Clarence Lockett are now largely forgotten. Whether â49ers, bohemians, beatniks, boomers, hippies, clones or conformists, their fascinating stories contributed to the development of a vibrant community, many simply by being themselves.
Join Dr. William Lipsky as he recounts their struggles and achievements in the City by the Bay.
