Announcing the Billys’ Spring Gathering at Saratoga Springs, Lake County May 7th to 11th – Sowing Seeds of Resilience. In these troubled times we need to strengthen our communities and remind ourselves of past successes in civil rights, promoting diversity, inclusion and equality. We also need to share strategies for protecting those hard won civil rights.
The Billys are asking that your organization will include this gathering call and/or information (attached) in your online, on air and print publications and post on your bulletin boards. We offer scholarships for our gatherings
The Billys were founded in 1988 to provide community to gay men, to provide support to those living with AIDS in isolated , rural areas and to assist with AIDS prevention and education in coastal northern California, particularly Mendocino and Humboldt Counties. Some consider the Billys to be an off-shoot of the Radical Faeries.
Over time the Billys informal membership has grown to include 1000s of gay, bi, FTM trans and queer men from all over California, the US and even internationally, but primarily the Bay Area and the north coast. Some of our events are open to Billy Kin, those who don’t identify in the previous gender categories. Some notable members of the Billys include Dave Hall, John Torres, Scotty King, Buzz Bense, Richard Locke, Harry Hay and John Burnside.
Many thanks, Joe Balestreri, Billy Spring Gathering Coordinator and Billy Foundation Secretary

Elon Musk is destroying our democracy, and he’s using the fortune he built at Tesla to do it. We are taking action at Tesla to stop Musk’s illegal coup.
The stakes couldn’t be higher. No one is coming to save us. Not politicians, not the media, not the courts.
Tesla Takedown is a peaceful protest movement. We oppose violence, vandalism and destruction of property. This protest is a lawful exercise of our First Amendment right to peaceful assembly and is designed as accountability actions against Musk in his DOGE role as a political actor and is not framed around intent to cause economic harm to any business interest.
