Reminder: Vicki Marlane street sign unveiling at Turk and Taylor @ Fri Jun 27, 2014 7:30pm - 8:30pm (Queer Things)

more details » Vicki Marlane street sign unveiling at Turk and Taylor This is at the end-point of the Trans March, which starts in Dolores Park. http://www.transmarch.org/blogs/2014-press-release At 7:30 pm, the City of San Francisco will unveil a new street sign at Turk and Taylor named for late transgender icon Vicki Marlane. Prior to her death in 2011, Vicki Marlane was a pioneering transgender performer and fixture in the Tenderloin drag performance scene. Marlane's first performance was in a Minnesota gay bar at the age of 16 in 1950, but it was her long tenure in the Bay Area starting in 1966 that earned her the moniker "the lady with the liquid spine", so named for her unforgettable performance style. Marlane was a many decade role model to transgender women and drag performers in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, first because she was one of the first to openly wear female clothing and later because she was an icon of classic drag style. Marlane died in 2011 of AIDS-related causes and members of her community immediately started petitions to name a street after her. Marlane will be the first transgender person and the fourth LGBT person to have a street named after her in San Francisco.
