Pete Burns Passes Away At 57
Pete Burns, vocalist and song-writer for the band Dead or Alive, has passed away due to cardiac arrest today, Ocotober 24th, 2016. He is remembered for many great things, among them the song "You Spin Me Round", which became a huge hit when it debuted in 1984.
He is known as a gender-bending performer whose aesthetic always pushed boundaries related to gender norms. His eccentric style and amazing musical talent made him a star in the LGBTQ community.
Pete is survived by his parter, Michael Simpson, whom he married. Regarding his sexual orientation, Pete stated that people "always want to know – am I gay, bi, trans or what? I say, forget all that. There's got to be a completely different terminology and I'm not aware if it's been invented yet. I'm just Pete."
He will be remembered as a pioneer for being unafraid to be unique and true to oneself: for incredible talent as well as brave pioneerness.

Transgender Remembrance Day
Today we remember all the beautiful lives lost in the Trans Community, a very special and important part of the LGBTQ community here in the Central Valley.
We at Gay Tulare especially want to remember KC Haggard, the beautiful Fresno lady whose life was cut short by a terrible act of violence. May she be remembered lovingly by our community, and may her death remind us of the work that needs to be done to end trans violence.
