Tagged: activist, California, HIV, Hollywood, latina, Los AngelesPosted on: September 20th, 2007“A memorial to celebrate the life of pioneer Latina lesbian activist Yolanda Retter Vargas will be held at Metropolitan Community Church in West Hollywood on Saturday, September 29. Ms. Retter died at her home in Los Angeles on August 18. She was 59.
The cause was cancer.
An activist and scholar, Ms. Retter was a major force in the early L.A. lesbian movement as a fierce advocate for lesbians of color. In her last two decades Yolanda became a highly educated and much sought after librarian, archivist, and editor.”
