October 23, 1947 9:30a.m. in Tucson, there I was just casually walking around, I couldn’t remember why I was there but all I knew at that point was that I was hungry. All I could think was where I was going to eat. So I just kept walking around till I had found something to eat. After walking around for a while it had passed by 2 hours, by this time 11:30a.m. my stomach began growling and gurgling like I’ve never heard before, so I just went to the closest fast food place I could fine which just so happen to be a Taco Bell. I go in and order three soft tacos, 4 hard tacos, a bean burrito, and a large Pepsi. After scarfing all the food down like some sort of animal I begin yet again on my journey to figure out why I was in Tucson.

Coming to Cal was great for me because it was the first time I had found a real LGBTQ community. Growing up I always moved schools so most of my friendships were fleeting and upon settling for high school the Gay Straight Alliance club was extremely small so coming to Cal provided a great sense of community and belonging. The summer before my first fall semester, I took a few classes to get a feel for the campus which ended up coinciding with Obergefell v. Hodges and SF gay pride which is where I made a lot of friends. Whether it is going for drinks in the Castro, dressing up for the Folsom street fair or going to social events at Oscar Wilde, Cal has provided an amazing sense of acceptance and a safe space.

was born in a small town in Texas known as Laredo. It was a poor city and was basically the border town to Mexico, it was always a mess, always hot, and only snowed once in 2002. Even though the city I was born in was harsh place, I had a great family that raised me well and taught me how to be respectful to my elders. Home was always different, every 2 to 3 years we always moved around so I really didn’t have many friends, until I moved to San Antonio is where I found a great home in 2007, the neighborhood was filled with nice people and each house actually had a lawn and not just broken cars or dried dirt in the front porches. The community was fantastic as well, the people and atmosphere we lived in when we moved to San Antonio was so much better than Laredo because people were actually nice to you and everyone didn’t look like they were going to cause trouble.

Although the entire reenactment was impactful, I would say there were two points in the night that stood out to me. In complete improvisation, we decided to take a march around Commons in a single file line. Since no one else had any idea what was happening, it was quite embarrassing for them; they could see the watchful eyes and hear people whispers Why do they all have numbers? but they could not say a word, demonstrating their loss of power. Another meaningful moment of the night was the selection.
