This collection documents the political activism and drag career of Glendon Hyde/Anna Conda. It includes materials related to Hyde’s work as the first drag president of the Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club, on the Entertainment Commission and on behalf of the Community Housing Partnership; Hyde/Anna Conda’s run for Supervisor in District 6; and Anna Conda’s drag performances. Hyde moved to San Francisco in the late 1990s and was Miss Trannyshack 2004. Hyde ran Charlie Horse at the Cinch for five years. In 2009, the party was shut down after struggles between clubs and neighbors in San Francisco, and this prompted Hyde to run for city office. The collection contains administrative records, flyers, and ephemera from the Harvey Milk Club; campaign materials; awards and certificates; materials from Charlie Horse (both in San Francisco and on the road); newspaper clippings; posters and ephemera from various club nights and parties; photographs; calendars; a VHS tape; DVDs; buttons; and Anna Conda’s Miss Trannyshack Banner.
