conversation. the lgbtq+ committee fighting for the rights still. right now here's a picture of what it looks like in these united states of america. the aclu saying it's tracking nearly 500 anti-lgbtq+ bills. last year was an epidemi of violence especially against trans and gender nonconforming people. these legal attacks follow a long history of physical attacks on the committee. i spoke to this guy, he is one who is speaking out now about being confronted with violence in the castro in the 1970s. stephen eubanks. he was part of stepping forward to do something about those attacks. >> he's in his 70s now but stephen eubanks remembers life in the castro in the 70s. >> my older partner. i've worke here and lived here and did drag anytime i wanted.

>> here he was a young drag queen at a time of being out, even in a neighborhood that housed out people, invited pilots. bake people would beat you up on the last going home from work. go meet a . go be a . we would yell and throw things. you don't engage. you just keep going. >> for time that's all he and others could do. put your head down and keep going. don't engage. stephen said police wer no help for gay peopleback then. >> we got beat up and robbed an mugged and all that. >> the group called the butterfly brigade joined forces with another group called gay action. >> we were vigilantes. drag queen vigilantes. you could hea this whistle two or three block away. >> this is the whistle san francisco mayor george moscone put in stephen's hand. it was s he quickly found he needed. >> you pulled the whistle out and you hold it now, how do you feel? >> the word that comes to mind

is power. >> power. the whistle and the knowing others had them too gav them power to no help was on th way from someone like them. >> i wanted to be a part of something that made a differenc and that meant something. that did things for people. >> if you think stephen story i long forgotten, watch what happened at the castro store where stephen used to bike fabric for drake. he shows a ma named paul ellis got his whistle. >> this is rolling back the years a lot. really rolling bac the years a lot. i'm sorry. >> memories flood back. >> several times i just took of running in the direction of the whistle to see if i could be of any help. >> these days stephen and paul say could give way to renewed attacks if lgbtq+ people and their allies are not just as vigilant as they were in those castro knights so many years ago. >> freedom is a special thing and that means you can't afford

to paying attention. >> i'm holding history my hands here. this is one of the whistles. this is what they loo like. this is what stephen eubanks said gave him a sense o power and a sense of hope. joining me now, it's our honor to talk to lgbtq+ activists lee jones. to call you and act this seems like the understatement of the year. it's so nice to se once again on our airways. you hear stephen talk about how the whistle gave them power. for th young person out there who see what's going on in our country right now and is feeling powerless, what's there whistle >> i think there whistle today looks more like a cell phone. w didn't have those back then and we didn't have any kind of cooperation from the police. it was a dangerous time and the danger was inflamed and encouraged in a very similar manner to what we are seeing today. the false accu ace accusations of pedophilia and

the hysteria being drummed up t the religious right. it's unfortunate that yet another generation has to endure this kind of abuse. it's 50 marched first pride parade in san francisco. and i have seen a lo of changes but our young people need to remain vigilant and understand that the struggle is far from over. >> the gentleman i met at the store in the castro, i'm sure you've been to that store multiple times, he said to me that we can't rest on our wins. we have let the younger generation so that the's things can go a pdc that could actuall happen? marriage, for instance. marriage equality was a hard-fought battle. do you see things like that potentiay evaporating and disappearing? >> some of the members of this current and quite corrupt supreme court already signaled their interest in overturning the marriage equality decision.

but i also want to say that i think one of the most important sentences that came out of the gentleman you spoke with at tha store was when he said how many teams he came running to help when he heard that whistle go. that's an important message bu that's the message of solidarity. that's the message of saying we will have each other's backs. right now it's very important for our transference that we got there backs and for our o we got our ckyo liviin certain rtof now is that it seems especially safe, that we got your back. and will have that kind of solidarity that e the movies and before the tv shows. how did you create those coalitions. we saw in the film milk and how that partnership happen. how do you create coalitions? >> part of this was the result

of having such a concentration of people living in that neighborhood. a neighborhood where most of us can no longer afford. i no longer can afford to be in the castro and most of the young people i speak with who would like very much to liv in a self identified gay neighborhood are no longer able to do so. part of it was the geographic proximity and the ability to physically help each other. but also understanding that we were all in this together and it was something w worked very hard to always focu on common ground. i was part of that butterfly brigade. along with alfred and hank wilson. it was all about teaching people and exemplifying four people th power that comes when we stand up for chi'm certainot gog to try to lecture the young people but

they should know our history an they should know how much what they are experiencing now has been going on actually for many generations. >> and the power that happens when we rise. we know in the night there are no longer whistles but there are still calls for help in our world. >> cleve jones, it's an honor t talk to. thank you for talking to me. maybe i will bump into you one day in the castro like did in the years of proposition eight. >> still had, tense scenes related to lgbtq+ curriculum.

santa rosa police are askin for your help to find people they say covered messages of support for the lgbtq+ committe with messages of hate. today police say multiple businesses in the downtown area was targeted. the businesses were either owned members of the lgbtq+ committee orpost signs sut. atituranyo you know, ey to support them ow show what they were but they were used to cover signs. you saw some of that showing suppor with the black lives matter movement. santa rosa police ar

referred to harvey milk as a pedophile. >> i think there's a lot of misinformation and part of this broad campaign against public schools has sought to use misinformation to challenge public schools and to rile up parents and to draw upon their frustration and their sense of not feeling comfortable with th way things are in society and t use that to undermine this very important institution of public institution education. >> lgbtq+ advocates a talk abou the word grueling grooming or saying gay people are pedophile and grooming children is really an old dog whistle that dates back to the days of anita bryant. the same story, different day. with the scenes playing out in socal, the head of the to macula teachers union had this message to share. >> i want to tell people that your teachers welcome you for who you are and when you come t class, we know that you will be loved and taken care of and we really want to lead from our hearts and be able to reach out clooms f and ow at u
