Venues would oftentimes be shut down, and detained customers would find their names published in the newspaper, their lives destroyed. Sarria\u2019s anger about the raids was part of his motivation in campaigning for a seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 242px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Jose-Sarria_02web.jpg?resize=242%2C396&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"242\" height=\"396\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jose Sarria campaign poster. Courtesy GLBT Historical Society<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Before running for office, Sarria was known as \u201cthe Nightingale of Montgomery Street\u201d for his work as a female impersonator. He sang regularly at the Black Cat Cafe in North Beach during the late \u201850s and early \u201860s, reworking famous operas to reflect the challenges of gay persecution in San Francisco.<\/p>\n<p>What made him unique was his fearlessness and defiance during a time when most gays and lesbians were taught to believe their orientation was an illness. In his younger years, Sarria served during World War II. At 4 feet 11 inches tall, he was too short to enlist, but he didn\u2019t let that stop him. He seduced a recruitment officer and was accepted into the service.<\/p>\n<p>While police were raiding bars, Sarria would tell the patrons of the Black Cat \u201cdon\u2019t be afraid, we should fight back, there\u2019s nothing wrong with us,\u201d said Boneberg. Sarria used his celebrity to organize, and was known for his saying: \u201cTogether we stand, but divided they will catch us one by one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sarria didn\u2019t win a seat on the Board of Supervisors in 1961, but the 5,600 votes he garnered were the first indication that the gay constituency held an important sway in politics.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, he never expected to win the seat; he wanted to prove a point, and despite his loss, his campaign was deemed a success for the gay rights movement.<\/p>\n<p>After his run, there hasn\u2019t been an elected official in San Francisco\u2014\u201cnot even a dogcatcher\u201d as Sarria told the The Atlantic in 2011\u2014\u201cthat did not go and talk to the gay community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sarria would go on to found gay rights organizations and charities to educate the LGBT community. Most notably, he founded the Imperial Courts, a charity with international branches that has raised millions for LGBT health and awareness causes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recognizing Sarria<\/strong><br \/>\nYet despite all of these accomplishments, few in the Latino community have heard his name. Filmmaker Dante Alencastre wants to change that, and he\u2019s working on a documentary about Sarria\u2019s life titled \u201cNelly Queen: The Life and Times of Jose Sarria.\u201d In addition to interviews from friends and loved ones, the film will include more than 23 years of never before seen, personal footage of Sarria, captured by his good friend Joel Castel between 1992-2013.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 314px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Jose-Sarria_05web.jpg?resize=314%2C483&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"314\" height=\"483\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jose Sarria, circa WWII.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cHe paved the way for people like Harvey Milk,\u201d said Alencastre. \u201c[Sarria was] ahead of his time \u2026 he was at the forefront of creating gay pride, gay consciousness \u2026 there was nothing like that back then.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alencastre is currently raising funds to travel back to San Francisco from his home in Los Angeles to complete the interviews required to finish the film.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe believed in the American dream,\u201d said Alencastre. \u201cThat we are all created equal and we all deserve the pursuit of happiness\u2026he believed in this country and he believed in himself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>LGBT history is now being taught in California schools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere will come a generation that will have grown up with Jose\u2019s stories, and will say \u2018Oh yeah, I know about Jose,\u2019 the way they now know about Harvey Milk,\u201d said Boneberg. \u201cFrankly, it&#8217;s a great American story. Americans should all be proud of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before his death in 2013 at the age of 90, Sarria said to Alencastre: \u201cI hope that people don\u2019t forget about me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This has been a driving force for Alencastre to finish his documentary. He wants people to know not only Sarria\u2019s life story, but the lessons contained within it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to be your authentic self,\u201d said Alencastre. \u201cAnd to love yourself just the way you are. \u201d<\/p>\n<div>The fundraising campaign for the production of \u201cNelly Queen\u201d closes on March 26.
