"Stonewall Democratic Club was established [in Los Angeles] in 1975, the first 'Stonewall Democratic Club' in the country
established for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender individuals and our straight allies committed to achieving equality
for all and to advancing progressive and feminist values through the Democratic Party. Stonewall is an all-volunteer grassroots
non-profit political organization and is among the largest Democratic Clubs in California."[1] Early presidents include Morris
Kight, Ivy Bottini, Daniel Whiteside, and Rick Saslaw. As of 2012, Stonewall Democratic Club remains actively involved in
local, state, and federal political processes.
