In The Meantime is excited to introduce its latest social justice billboard featuring three of the community’s most respected leaders: Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Archbishop Carl Bean, and Bayard Rustin. Thank you for elevating LOVE and INCLUSIVITY into the world.
The slogan, LOVE IS FOR EVERYONE was coined by the late great Archbishop Carl Bean through his radical theological teachings that continue to transcend religiosity. The Archbishop also sang the Motown hit, “I Was Born This Way,” later covered by Lady Gaga.
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called for social reform, equality, and equity for all people. He stood during a time when many shrunk in fear, and led a non-violent movement that transformed the world. He had a illusion, and that dream includes ALL of us.
Bayard Rustin was noted as the Socrates of the civil rights movement. Among his many accomplishments, Rustin is most known for orchestrating the March on Washington. He was an openly gay man who stood in his truth while fighting for the rights of all.

Living ‘best gay Black life’ is key for this Palm Springs group
Some call Palm Springs the “gayest town in America,” but many LGBTQ residents of color say there is still a long way to go to uplift diverse communities and remedy the city’s racist past. A growing group called Brothers of the Desert is working to address that issue by empowering Black gay men in Palm Springs and beyond the city’s borders in the Coachella Valley.
“People felt isolated, people felt disconnected, and people did not touch really a part of the larger community as Black gay men in the Coachella Valley,” says Tim Vincent, president and co-founder of Brothers of the Desert.
Vincent, his now-husband Michael Taylor and their friends didn’t first set out to create a group focused on empowerment, advocacy, education, mentorship and social networking.
