This LGBTQ history of Boston and Provincetown begins with the coming of Europeans to Massachusetts in 1620 and ends with the victory over the referendum to overturn transgender rights in 2018. It includes the many elevated points of these four hundred years: the torrid romances of nineteenth century actress Charlotte Cushman, the glamorous nightlife of 1950s Boston, the wild times of 1970s Provincetown, and the fantastic outpouring of happiness that accompanied the country’s first gay marriages. And it describes the tragedies: murders of transsexual women and queer men, the terrible waves of repression of the 1920s, and the devastation of the AIDS years. It documents how LGBTQ people have been submit in the region at least since the coming of Europeans and how LGBTQ people had developed a political consciousness and were advocating for their rights well over a century before Stonewall. This is an important manual for anyone who has lived in or visited this historic city and fabulous resort or anyone who cares about the history of LGBTQ people.

Thanks for posting on History Hub!
You are likely looking for county and state level records. You can find data on what is held at the California State Archives in their Court Records Program on this page. Unfortunately criminal and court records will primarily be indexed to be accessible by specify and not by criminal offense. You can devise a investigate strategy of identifying names by using secondary resources, such as book and articles, and perhaps by reviewing newspapers as a primary source. You may also want to seek out Rule Libraries in the state who may have a Librarian who can assist in the explore of legal history. For example, the University of San Francisco School of Law has a page on Finding California Legislative History with links and the contact information of a Explore Librarian. You may well hold a Law Library that can assist which is closer to you. Having a reference interview with a librarian or archivist familiar with court and criminal records can help you shape a strategy to locate and identify how to find the information you seek.
Hopefully other group members may have additional suggestions.

The Equality Impact Hub: Mobilizing for LGBTQ+ Rights
In the face of continued challenges for the LGBTQ+ community, it’s more important than ever to share information and resources on any policies proposed or finalized by the Trump Administration, Congress, or the federal judiciary that impact the LGBTQ+ collective and our families. The Human Rights Campaign remains committed to showing up, advancing progress, and fighting for equality — just as the LGBTQ+ people has always done.
As we monitor, track, and examine new federal actions and policies, we will utilize every tool — from advocacy to education to litigation to campaigns — to protect our communities and advance progress where possible.
HRC, our partners, grassroots supporters, and the Homosexual community are harnessing the full power of our democracy to protect our progress and stand ready to preserve countless Americans' rights, freedoms, and dreams.
We’re here. We’re strong. We’re fighting back.

I agree with @Centuwuria and @TallScissors938 that it should be “Pride” or someone like that because (even though homophobia is against the rules) some people would not like it and it is a very controversial topic
Also I think it shouldn’t be “Gay” cause that only supports part of the LGBTQ+ collective and not the whole thing.

yeah and also a lot of adolescent people play hive who think it’s funny and if it says, “Gay” they’re gonna be like “AAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA” because they use queer as an insult and make joke about the topic.
