This week, APEX is highlighting members of the Leather community whose work shaped LGBTQIA+ history. Today we recognize Hardy Haberman for his decades of advocacy, education, writing, and community leadership within the Leather and LGBTQIA+ communities. #pride #LGBTQIA #arizona #Leather #bdsm

A blue six-panel collage featuring Leather educator and LGBTQIA activist Hardy Haberman. Three photographs show him at different stages of his life, including one in Leather attire and another smiling playfully at the camera. A quote reads, "…I am amazed at how people in the United States always think 'human rights violations' are things that only happen in third-world countries." Additional text identifies him as an LGBTQIA activist with the Dallas Gay Political Caucus and GLAAD, co-producer of Cedar Springs Carnival during the 1980 Dallas Pride Week, an author, director, columnist, Leather educator, and former chair of the Woodhull Sexual Freedom Alliance.

This week, APEX is highlighting BIPOC voices in LGBTQIA+ history. Today we recognize Willi Ninja and the impact of Ballroom Culture. More than a dance style, Ballroom provided artistic expression, community, and chosen family for many LGBTQIA+ people who often faced rejection elsewhere. #pride

Pride History slide about Ballroom Culture and Willi Ninja on a colorful sequined background. The top section explains that Ballroom Culture was a predominantly Black and Latinx LGBTQIA subculture that originated in New York City. It highlights two major functions: providing artistic expression and celebration of queer identity, and creating chosen family through the House system for many gay and transgender youth rejected by their families. A black-and-white photograph shows a ballroom performer striking a pose.

The bottom section focuses on Willi Ninja. A photograph shows Ninja posing in black clothing. Text describes him as a self-taught dancer, the "Godfather of Vogue," founder of the House of Ninja in 1982, a collaborator with fashion models on signature runway walks, and an androgynous "Butch Queen" who challenged gender conformity.

This week, APEX is highlighting BIPOC voices in LGBTQIA+ history. Today we recognize Lorraine Hansberry and her efforts to use writing and art as expressions of activism for the civil rights, feminist, and LGBTQIA+ movements. #Arizona #LGBTQIA #history #BIPOC #education

Pride History slide about Lorraine Hansberry (1930–1965) on a vintage newspaper-style background. The title "Lorraine Hansberry" appears at the top. A text panel explains that activism is not always loud and highlights Hansberry as the author of A Raisin in the Sun. It discusses her writing on racism, homophobia, and misogyny, notes that she described herself as a "heterosexually married lesbian," and mentions her involvement with the lesbian organization Daughters of Bilitis and contributions to The Ladder under her initials. Two black-and-white photographs of Hansberry are included. At the bottom, a large vintage typewriter graphic supports a photograph of Hansberry seated behind a typewriter.

This week, APEX is highlighting BIPOC voices in LGBTQIA+ history. Today we recognize Bayard Rustin, whose dedication to civil rights, social justice, and LGBTQIA+ equality helped change the course of American history. #Pride #LGBTQIA #arizona #education #educational

Educational Pride History slide about Bayard Rustin (1912–1987) with a red-to-blue gradient background. The title "Bayard Rustin" appears at the top above a series of four black-and-white photographs showing Rustin throughout his life, including portraits, civil rights organizing, and public speaking. Text highlights his accomplishments: advisor to Martin Luther King Jr., organizer of the March on Washington, member of the Congress of Racial Equality, union organizer, LGBTQIA activist, and advocate for AIDS education. At the bottom is a quote attributed to Rustin: "...gay people are the new barometer for social change."
