STUART TIMMONS' CITY OF WEST HOLLYWOOD LGBTQ HISTORY MOBILE TOUR

I'm quite thrilled to be the lead coordinator of this wonderful event!

Historian Stuart Timmons is excited to share some of the great LGBTQ history of West Hollywood 

SATURDAY JUNE 6 from 11am-2pm! Fabulous & Free to the public!

Tours begin at the West Hollywood Library @  625 N. San Vicente Blvd

As part of the celebration of The City of West Hollywood’s 30^th Anniversary, Stuart Timmons presents a fabulous mobile tour of various LGBTQ historic sites. A specially designed map and accompanying information will be available to the public as a free downloadable file to do anytime on their own, or they can participate in festive 75-minute group tours happening on Saturday, June 6^th taking place between 11am-2pm*. “Tourists” will embark on a brief shuttle ride starting at the West Hollywood Library, which will then drop them off on Sunset Blvd for an exciting 60 minute walking/wheeling portion where they will encounter various fun surprises and historically costumed guides along the route delivering the history of each location.

Stuart Timmons is the acclaimed historian and author of “The Trouble With Harry Hay,” co-author of “Gay L.A.,” and former board member & executive director of the ONE National Gay and Lesbian Archives. In 2007, Stuart was developing three walking tours of LGBTQ historic sites in Los Angeles. He finished tours of DTLA and Silver Lake, but experienced a severe stroke before he could complete his West Hollywood tour. Now, thanks to a grant from One City One Pride and a team of helpers, Stuart’s vision is coming to a rousing fruition in time for the 30^th Anniversary of “The Creative City” and the "WeHo@30" LGBTQ Arts Festival.

*Shuttles will leave from West Hollywood Library approximately every 15 minutes carrying small groups – last shuttle will be shortly after 1pm. Free parking available in the ramp just south of the West Hollywood Library.

This is a “mobile tour” - as in mobility via feet, wheelchair, bike, skates, stroller, or car -  and as in available to download on your mobile smartphone! The live tour will require outdoor urban walking or wheelchair assistance, so comfortable shoes and appropriate sun protection is advised. Some parasols and sunumbrellas will be provided to throw some colorful shade your way.
