Fiebre Tropical

DQSH has brought not just one, not two, but at least three convicted sex criminals, two of whom are convicted pedophiles, into confined spaces with large numbers of young children on multiple occasions. Its events also have been sponsored by a man who’s been charged with seven counts of child pornography possession. So much for the “safe space” that drag queen “Miss Terra Cotta Sugarbaker” claims the program provides.

Before examining the financial backers of Drag Queen Story Hour, it’s vital to understand the organization’s roots. DQSH was founded in 2015 by colorful characters Michelle Tea, a lesbian (former) prostitute; Virgie Tovar, author of “You Have the Right to Remain Fat”; and Juli Delgado Lopera, who leads Drag Queen Story Hour’s parent organization, Radar Productions, a San Francisco-based nonprofit that describes itself as a “Bay Area queer literary arts organization.”

The Zellerbach Family Foundation, which is perhaps better known for funding refugee resettlement programs, gave to Radar Productions in 2015, 2016, and 2018 while it was managing Drag Queen Story Hour. The foundation is based in San Francisco, where the organization’s namesake started a paper business in 1868. The Walter and Elise Haas Fund, which is also based in San Francisco, gave Radar Productions $10,000 in 2018.

The San Francisco Arts Commission, an agency of the city government, gave Radar $38,000 between 2015 and 2018, while the California Arts Council, a state agency, donated a whopping $74,040 to Radar Productions between 2015 and 2018.

The Horizons Foundation, yet another pro-LGBT organization based in San Francisco, gave Radar $24,500 from 2007 to 2012, before Drag Queen Story Hour was created, but Radar Productions still lists Horizons as a donor on its website. Furthermore, the Horizons Foundation, which is funded by PG&E, Facebook, City National Bank, and a number of other prominent corporations, advertises Drag Queen Story Hour as a program of one of its “grantee partners.”

This money trail makes yet another rip in the libertarian claim that LGBT issues are simply a matter of personal liberty rather than a dire struggle between traditional morality and an insurgent sexual ethic that, with the help of moneyed interests from California’s Bay Area, targets children and seeks to export itself from San Francisco to the rest of the country and beyond.

Conversely, these financial details vindicate the concerns of conservatives who frequently rail against urban, coastal elites who use their wealth and prestige to enforce their progressive orthodoxy on the rest of the country (and even on other countries) through cultural imperialism — in this case, Californication.

1-5!

1. If you’re an author, how many WIPs do you currently have? (Be honest!)

This actually really tripped me up! How are we defining WIPs -- things I’ve started writing in general? things I’ve started posted but not finished? things i haven’t posted at all but have at least a few words down? things i have plotted out in my head but don’t even have words down? etc. 

Also my organizational system on evernotes (where I do all my fic writing) is uhhhhh. bad. Like I have several versions of fics, which makes it hard to count how many actual independent works I have. 

But glancing through, a basic estimate of fics I’ve actually started AND will potentially actually finish is....maybe 20. Eeesh.

2. What’s next on your ‘to-read’ list? (Fan fiction or otherwise)

Fiebre Tropical by Juli Delgado Lopera, though I have to finish The Devil in the White City first (lol I know I’m so late on this, but w/e).

3. Do you prefer canonverse or AUs?

LOL well my preference is for GOOD AUs but those are. Rare. So yes dream fic wise, I prefer AUs, but in some fandoms esp (like, Hellblazer/Constantine stuff comes to mind) I’d rather stick with the canon if you’re not going to do something interesting with the AUs (tho there are actual canon AUs for Hellblazer aka, the baby lesbians, which I wish were written about more often. Or at all.)

4. What fandom’s/ship’s fan fiction do you read the most?

I’ve been kind of off fic ATM tho I have been rereading a lot of The Nice Guys fics bc there’s not many of them but in general I love the grumpy old mans in reluctant love/awks but strangely functional coparenting vibes. 

I also sometimes read Lawrusso fic @youandthemountains sends me despite having seen only KK1 and KK2 and none of the show at all. But they’re all so long and I am. Having trouble focusing on long fic ATM, and as always I have very high standards lmfaoooo

5. What’s a crackship you love?

Man IDK what counts as a crackship anymore! in GENERAL i’m not about the crackship life (I also hate calling them crackships lol) bc i do like to go off of actual interactions/chemistry in canon, BUT i’ll always have a soft spot for my john constantine/jake peralta joke ship that i actually even wrote fic for because WHY NOT.

City Lights Booksellers’ Pride 2020 Reading List

This June (and always), we look to our queer elders who came before us. Without them and their courage to riot and demand equality, we wouldn't have the Pride we know today. We especially want to name our Black trans siblings, who to this day face disproportionate discrimination and violence in this system.  To honor our own San Francisco history / herstory / theirstory, here are 54 titles to commemorate the 54 years since the Compton Cafeteria Riots in the Tenderloin.
