On July 8th at 7pm, GLBT Historical Society executive director Terry Beswick will interview Cal Callahan, the district manager of the LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District. Established in 2018, the district is one of three LGBTQ-related cultural districts in San Francisco, along with the Transgender District and the Castro LGBTQ Cultural District.
This is the July installment of “Queer Culture Club,” a monthly series each second Thursday that focuses on LGBTQ people who are defining the queer culture of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Each month, Beswick interviews queer culture-makers, including authors, playwrights, historians, activists, artists, and archivists, to learn about their work, process, inspirations, hopes and dreams.
Admission is free but a donation of $5 is suggested. ASL interpretation is available upon request.

The GLBT Historical Society’s Art and Artifacts collection will be the focus of the upcoming exhibition Queeriosities: Selections from the GLBT Art and Artifacts Collection, opening on Monday, July 26. Join for a special preview event on Friday, July 23rd from 6-7pm.
The collection encompasses a diverse range of two- and three-dimensional objects, including paper materials, metal objects such as pins and plaques, sculptures, framed works of art, historic LGBTQ business signs, theatrical props and textiles. These objects provide visual and material evidence of the San Francisco LGBTQ community’s engagement with the social, cultural, political and physical dynamics of the city, from the late 19th century to the present.
This special advance preview tour of the exhibition will be led Ramón Silvestre, the society’s museum registrar and curatorial specialist, and Nalini Elias, director of exhibitions and museum experience, and is free for GLBT Historical Society members. Join Ramon and Nalini for a sneak peek at an extraordinary collection of unusual, quaint, and at times outright ridiculous treasures that illustrate the sheer depth and breadth of the queer stories in our archival vault.
Admission is free for members and $5 with suggested donations for non-members. ASL interpretation is available upon request.

OUT of Site, San Francisco’s performance-driven queer history tour, returns this summer with a dazzling new edition starring award-winning stage, television, and film actor Tina D’Elia. Following the sold-out tours of North Beach and South of Market, this year’s edition reveals the untold queer history of the neighborhood of Haight-Ashbury, a name synonymous worldwide with the hippie counterculture that emerged here in the 1960s.
Performances occur every Saturday and Sunday at 11 am and 3pm, and typically run for about two hours.
This walking tour is intended for mature, 21+ audiences and not suitable for children. The cost of tickets starts at $15. Space and capacity are limited, so please purchase your tickets in advance at this link: www.eyezen.org/oos-haight
Interested in sharing poetry or hearing spoken word, both virtually and in person? Consider signing up for the Queer Arts Center’s QT open mic, happening every Tuesday evening from 6-7:30pm.
