Honolulu's Historic GLBT Culture

A L O H A !
 
The Glades Project (Re-Enactment filming Behind the Scenes) from Connie M. Florez on Vimeo.

Many years ago. . . 
On Honolulu's famous Hotel Street
their was a place where
the boys were prettier than the girls.
That place was The Glades.

Drag performers all wore a button
by Honolulu law
that read: "I am a boy."

Black Men in America
were carrying signs that said:
"I Am A Man."

Those were some times!

Today, my friend Connie
is making a film. . . 
about a time. . . 
about special people. . . 
Survivors-

[///]

Thank YOU
for being Yourself!
                   fondly, cloudia

I appreciate it when someone works to preserve a history that could easily be forgotten.
