“Obviously, we take it very seriously. Approval was given to give out a study guide such as this. I’m not saying it was right or wrong. It’s simply something we’ll have to understand as to the appropriateness of that.”

Candlelight vigil

 
9th annual Transgender Day of Remembrance
Hillcrest’s LGBT Center (3909 Centre Street at University) hosted San Diego’s annual Transgender Day of Remembrance last night. The evening began with a candlelight march followed by a program in The Center’s auditorium.

This event was organized in cities across the country to commemorate the lives and mourn the losses of those killed due to anti-transgender violence.

In memory of Robert “Tiny” Gibson

Charles Hatfield, San Diego Rainman, 1916

Charles Hatfield was a real rainman

The city of San Diego hired Hatfield to make it rain but never paid him because it rained too much. Hatfield sued the city in a case that lasted until 1938, when a court declared the 1916 flood was an act of God – not of Hatfield nor of the four-member council majority that hired him.
