Protesters seek Historic Cultural Monument designation, but council member supports a lesser “site of” status, which would home to be redeveloped.
Protesters gathered outside Los Angeles Councilwoman Eunisses Hernandez’s field office in Glassell Park on Monday, June 5, and urged her to help preserve the residence of 20th century L.A. gay-rights pioneer Morris Kight.
Hernandez said her office has had multiple conversations with stakeholders, including the property owner of Kight’s home. She wants to move forward in the “collective interests of all,” though she acknowledged there’s a “spectrum of how people feel.” The “site of” designation would mark the parcel of land as a Historic Cultural Monument, whereas preservation advocates want the home itself to be protected as well.
“As Pride month begins, we call on civic-minded Angelenos and the public at-large to help save Morris Kight’s home, site of some of the earliest uncloseted LGBTQ history in Los Angeles,” Jackson said in a statement. “We urge city officials on the PLUM Committee to honor Morris’ remarkable and fearless legacy by approving full Historic Cultural Monument status for his Fourth Street residence.”
In 1970, he co-founded the Christopher Street West gay pride parade in L.A., the first gay pride parade and festival in the world.
