House Extends PPP Application Deadline; 

On Tuesday evening, the Senate approved a 

bill by unanimous consent that would keep 

the program accepting applications until 

August 8th. Passing the bill by unanimous 

consent allowed the Senate to set aside 

procedural rules to speed up proceedings. 

On Wednesday evening, the House passed 

its extension, also unanimously. The 

measure will now go to President Trump 

for his signature. 

Under the program, the SBA had approved 

almost 4.9 million loans, totaling $520.6 

billion. Despite the program’s popularity, 

it had approximately $130 billion in 

unallocated funds when it shut down. 

With so much left in the program, some 

advisors question the point of providing an 

extension. 

The measure will now go to President 

Trump for his signature.

More than 200,000 LGBT adults in 

California at high risk for COVID-19 illness. 

According to new research by Kathryn 

O’Neill, a policy analyst with the Williams 

Institute at the UCLA School of Law. 

Using data from the California Health 

Interview Survey, researchers examined the 

health and economic characteristics that 

may increase vulnerability to COVID-19 

for the nearly 1.7 million LGBT adults in 

California. 

Key Findings 

Demographics 

-California is home to nearly 1.7 million 

LGBT adults, including 1,646,000 lesbian, 

gay, and bisexual people of any gender 

identity and 109,000 transgender people of 

any sexual orientation. 

-The majority (92%) of LGBT adults in 

California live in urban areas. 

Health 

-361,000 LGBT adults in California have 

fair or poor health.

81,000 have heart disease 

-At least 114,000 have HIV

RENT CONTROL 

Form a Tenants' Union! 

What is a Tenants' Union? 

Tenants' unions are building, neighborhood 

or city-based organizations made up of and 

led by renters themselves to fight for our 

collective interests and rights. 

that is powerful enough to win rent control 

for all and tenant and community control 

of our housing and land. 

Why form a Tenants Union? - Because you 

can win! 

(Organizing committee with the Concord 

Tenants Union) 

Building-based tenants unions are generally 

made up of tenants who live in the 

same building and/or have the same landlord. 

Neighborhood and city-based tenant 

unions are networks of tenants who often 

have similar issues and stand in solidarity 

with each other, but may live in different 

buildings or have different landlords. 

Everyone is talking about passing rent 

control and eviction protections, but where 

do you start? How do we build enough 

power to stay in our homes, communities 

and thrive?! We do this by organizing. We 

must organize because overcoming fear and 

isolation is impossible to do on our own. 

We organize because we seek to transform 

people's fear and isolation into dignity and 

solidarity both in your home, community 

and on a statewide level. Organizing isn’t 

just sending out an email or creating a social 

media page, although those will likely 

be steps that you take. The organization of 

tenant unions are the building blocks to 

our translocal, statewide, and international 

Tenants Together/Homes For All tenant 

unions share a common vision and principles 

(see bottom), and unite with other 

tenant unions across our cities, states and 

country to build a movement of millions

NEVER AGAIN: WHAT YOU DO MATTERS 

The Campaign for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum 

What was it like to live as a young Jew in Berlin during the Nazi deportations? This 

exhibition details the life of Manfred Lewin, a young Jew who was active in one of 

Berlin’s Zionist youth groups until his deportation to and murder in Auschwitz-Birkenau. 

Manfred recorded these turbulent times in a small, hand-made book that he gave to his 

Jewish friend and gay companion, Gad Beck. Mr. Beck, a Holocaust survivor who again 

lives in Berlin, donated the booklet to the Museum in December 1999. The exhibition 

centers around the 17-page artifact, which illustrates the daily life of the two friends, their 

youth group, and the culture in which they lived. 

To understand why Manfred Lewin, a young Jew in Nazi Berlin, wrote this book in 1941 

for his friend Gad Beck—to understand why Gad, 19 and Jewish, risked his life attempting 

to save Manfred from deportation—read these words from the play that brought them 

together. German writer Friedrich von Schiller’s Don Carlos: No Matter what you plan on 

doing, will you promise to undertake no act without your friend? Will you make me this 

promise? Friendship, valor, and the fight for freedom were the ideals of this 18th-century 

German drama. In 1941, Gad and Manfred played the starring roles in their Jewish youth 

group’s reading of the play. 

Special thanks to Gad Beck and Jizchak Schwersenz. 

Thanks to Carol Brown Janeway for her translation of the German text, and to the Zemer 

Chai Choir for the performance of the song “Ba'a menucha layageya.”

Manfred Lewin was born on September 8, 

1922, in Berlin where he lived with his parents 

and four siblings in the predominantly Jewish 

section of the city. The family lived in poverty 

in three little rooms not far from the Beck 

house at Dragoner Strasse 43. Manfred’s 

father was a barber and his mother Jenny, a 

former secretary, took care of the family. She 

often had to find other sources of food to 

supplement the family’s insufficient Jewish 

food ration cards. 

Gad Beck was born on June 30, 1923, together 

with his twin sister Miriam. Gad’s mother 

Hedwig came from a Protestant family, but 

converted to Judaism before the marriage 

with Heinrich Beck in 1920. The children 

were raised according to Jewish traditions, 

supported by the Christian relatives. In 

1934 Gad changed to the Jewish school 

in the Grosse Hamburger Strasse. In 1939 

his parents were forced to move into the 

predominantly Jewish section of Berlin. They 

could no longer afford the school fees; Gad 

started to work as an apprentice.

Interview with Gad Beck 

February 16, 1996 

RG-50.030*0361 

PREFACE 

The following oral history testimony is the 

result of a videotaped interview with Gad 

Beck. The reader should bear in mind that 

this is a verbatim transcript of spoken, 

rather than written prose. 

GAD BECK 

February 16, 1996 

Q: Maybe we can simply start by you saying 

who you are and where you were born. 

A: Klaus, I’ll do that. My name is Gad 

(Gerhard) Beck. I was born as Gerhard 

Beck. I was born in Berlin, 1923 _ on June 

30, in the middle of the year in to so-called 

“Barn Quarters,” the ghettos. We'll come 

back to that later. 

Q: And were your parents also born in 

Berlin? 

A: No, much, much nicer! My father is 

Viennese and even one of the Jewish 

Viennese that is actually Galician. Their 

love grew bigger and stronger and when the 

war ended, they decided to get married and 

there it began. 

Q: And was it a Jewish wedding or a 

Christian wedding? 

A: Ah, that's a very nice question [laughs]. 

Of course, you can have a wedding without 

either one. No, according to Austrian law, 

he was Austrian. According to Austrian law, 

both people must have the same belief and 

she immediately said she would convert. 

Her Christian family was very skeptical, 

except for her mom, the old mother, she 

said, “Child, it doesn't matter. If you take on 

a belief and profess yourself to it, then you 

have to live according to it. Then you 

are Jewish, girl!” And so they were married, 

and in a very religious synagogue in Berlin, 

in the Adass (ph) Israel, because the other 

Rabbi, who would have married them, had 

gone on vacation. So the colleague, the 

very religious one, arranged the marriage 

certificate, how it was done then in the 

Jewish religion, and of course they couldn't 

read it; the writing was very small and it 

was also partly in Hebrew, I believe, and 

they both signed it, agreeing that their 

children, should there be any, would be 

raised religiously, conservatively, until their 

thirteenth birthday. With kosher food and 

all that, and all that. They signed that. 1920.

THE ART OF FILLING GAY TIME DURING THE EPIDEMIC 

The conflicting reports coming from 

the White House and medical experts 

continue to leave us in limbo regarding 

reliable information on this Pandemic. 

Sheltering in place can get to be 

extremely boring but necessary for not 

those of us not employed in one of the 

essential services. Being exposed to the 

virus and exposing others if you may 

have it and not realize that you do is 

not a risk worth taking. 

Finding interesting and productive 

activities to occupy shelter in place time 

can be tedious. For those interested 

in the arts, both local and national 

galleries are going online to give 

virtual tours of current exhibitions and 

background information on the artists. 

Regarding specific gay interest, areas 

ASK ANY BUDDY is a virtual photo 

album that as put together fragments 

from over 125 movies creating a wide 

variety of rare footage from the 60s, 

70s, and 80s. It is a compilation of 

film shots of dozens of legendary, but 

real cruising areas, and general social 

spaces, that have since disappeared. It 

is humorous and sexy documentation 

of gay life following the Stonewall Riots 

at least how it is depicted in the moves.

Considering more contemporary

life, "Queer Japan" looks at the 

LGBTQ community in that country 

in Tokyo and other cities in Japan. It 

demonstrates that gay liberation has 

become more global than what might 

be current thinking. This film shows 

how everyday people are daring to live 

their lives and defy the norms of gender 

and sexual identity in unconventional 

ways. One of the artists featured is 

the most influential manga artist, 

Gengoroh Tagame, who has created 

numerous explicitly erotic drawings 

and paintings of gay life in Japan. This

BUSINESS NEWS 

Trump administration moves to repeal 

transgender protections in homeless 

shelters 

The Department of Housing and Urban 

Development plans to move forward with 

a measure that would permit federally 

funded homeless shelters to house 

transgender clients according to their sex 

assigned at birth. 

The HUD proposal would reverse a 2016 

measure implemented under the Obama 

administration that built on provisions 

enacted four years earlier. 

A report in April from the Williams 

Institute, a pro-LGBTQ think tank at 

UCLA, listed 1 in 5 homeless young people 

identify as LGBTQ. The study also revealed 

that about a third of trans and nonbinary 

people have lacked stable housing at some 

point. 

Another survey of trans people who have 

experienced homelessness, published 

in 2015 by the National Center for 

Transgender Equality, found that 70 

percent had experienced some form of 

discrimination, harassment or violence 

when trying to find safe shelter. Twenty-six 

percent said they had avoided seeking out 

services for fear of discrimination. 

Running to be first openly gay Black men 

in Congress 

Ritchie Torres and Mondaire Jones, both 

Democrats, are leading in their primary 

races in New York’s 15th and 17th 

Congressional districts, respectively. 

Nn MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Mondaire 

Jones and Ritchie Torres, candidates for 

the Democratic nomination in New York’s 

17th and 15th Congressional districts, 

respectively, spoke about their historic runs 

for office. 

The candidates said the COVID-19 

pandemic has taken a toll on their counties, 

which were heavily affected by the first 

coronavirus outbreak in the spring. 

In a 6-3 decision June 15, the nation’s 

highest court ruled that sexual orientation 

and gender identity are included within 

the parameters of Title VII of the Civil 

Rights Act of 1964. The federal statute 

prohibits employment discrimination 

based on race, color, religion, sex, and 

national origin. 

Writing for the majority, Justice Neil 

Gorsuch noted; “Today, we must 

decide whether an employer can fire 

someone simply for being homosexual 

or transgender. The answer is clear. An 

employer who fires an individual for being 

homosexual or transgender fires that 

person for traits or actions it would not 

have questioned in members of a different 

sex. Sex plays a necessary and undisguisable 

role in the decision, exactly what Title VII 

forbids.”

Funko Supports Pride! 

Our FUNKO PRIDE POP! collection 

is a celebration of inclusivity and 

acceptance. Funko supports the 

LGBTQ+ community and rejects 

intolerance and discrimination. At 

Funko, FUN is for EVERYONE! A 

donation from Funko has also been 

made to the It Gets Better Project, an 

organization that uplifts, empowers, 

and connects LGBTQ+ youth 

around the globe, in support of this 

program. The It Gets Better Project 

inspires people to share their stories 

and remind the next generation of 

LGBTQ+ youth that hope is out there, 

and it will get better.
