GLBT Historical Society Sponsors Celebration of San Francisco Dyke March History on Dec. 10

Meet the Dyke March, an afternoon of performance, videos, dialogue and celebration, is set for Saturday, Dec. 10, 2005, from 2 to 4p.m. at the GLBT Historical Society, 657 Mission St., 3rd Floor, San Francisco. The event is taking place in conjunction with an exhibit at the Historical Society of photographs by Cathy Cade and Jane Philomen Cleland documenting the 12-year history of the Dyke March, a dynamic gathering that brings together tens of thousands of women each June to march through the streets of San Francisco the evening before the annual LGBT Pride Parade.

"Meet the Dyke March" festivities will honor San Francisco Dyke March cofounders Lisa Roth and Leslie Mullin. The afternoon will feature a video presentation by Cade and Cleland; a revue of performance artists, musicians and drag kings drawn from the Dyke March committee; reminiscences of Dyke March history; and an opportunity for members of the community to give feedback to the organizers of the 2006 Dyke March. In addition, the Historical Society galleries will be open for viewing. Light refreshments will be provided. The event is open to the public; admission is free, but donations to support the GLBT Historical Society are encouraged.

Marking its 20th anniversary this year, the GLBT Historical Society is an internationally renowned museum, archives and research center devoted to increasing public understanding, appreciation and affirmation of the history and culture of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and other sexual minority
individuals and communities.
