MTT & Audra McDonald Celebrate Symphony Pride
If you can make it over to the City by the Bay on the evening of Tuesday, April 4, you will be treated to an incomparable collaboration between the San Francisco Symphony, led by conductor Michael Tilson Thomas (MTT), and six-time Tony winner Audra McDonald.
Symphony Pride, a special concert celebrating the Bay Area’s spirit of inclusion and diversity with a focus on the voices of the LGBTQ community, will feature works by LGBTQ musical mavericks that MTT has championed throughout his career, including Lou Harrison, Henry Cowell, Meredith Monk and John Cage.
ArtMix, Movies and More at the Crocker
by Chris Narloch
The Crocker is the place to be this spring, with a sexy new exhibit entitled Forbidden Fruit that showcases the exquisite contemporary porcelain sculpture of Chris Antemann.
That isn’t all there is to see at the museum, however. I recommend you not miss the Crocker’s rare theater screening of the classic 1985 movie Brazil as well as the next ArtMix, which has a Japanese theme.
When We Rise Left Out So Much of Our History
Commentary by Gary Miller
Who watched ABC’s When We Rise? I was given the impression it would be the history of gay rights. Before I watched the first episode, I was wondering where they would start.
Would they go back to ancient Greece? Or would they begin with researchers on the topic in the late 1800s in Germany? Would they start with the contributions of the Mattachine Society founded in 1950? Would it include the Daughters of Bilitis, which formed in 1955? Was it going to be just San Francisco or a nationwide history?

Disney’s big budget, live-action movie version of ‘Beauty and the Beast’ recently opened, and I urge you to see the film, if only to support that beloved, family-friendly company’s decision to hire an openly gay director and allow him to turn one of the movie’s minor characters gay.
That decision led a drive-in theater in Alabama to refuse to show the film, and the Russian and Malaysian governments have also reportedly considered boycotting the movie.
San Francisco Community Commemorates Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) on March 31
A group of community organizations, led by the Trans Employment Program of the SF LGBT Center and Trans:Thrive at the Asian Pacific Islander (API) Wellness Center will host a free community-wide event to commemorate Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) on March 31 at SOMArts.
TDOV is an annual celebration around the world dedicated to lifting the accomplishments and victories of transgender & gender non-conforming (GNC) people while raising awareness of the work that is still needed to save trans lives. The celebration was started in 2009 as a response to the lack of LGBT celebrations focused on transgender and GNC people's successes.
