The June 1999 photograph shown was on the
occasion of honoring the 30th anniverasary of the Stonewall Rebellion
at Mayor Rudy W. Giuliani's Gay Pride celebration at New York
City's Gracie Mansion. Pictured on the far left (literally) is
the late Harriet "Schmo" Garblestein, the vivacious Cristina Hayworth
bussing the Mayor, appropriately on the right is busting out with
laughter S.V.A. President Williamson Henderson and in the background
sheepishly trying to hold in his grin is S.V.A. Vice-President Jeremiah
Newton.

big rainbow Gay pride flag

Cristina N. Hayworth has been a longtime member of the STONEWALL
Veterans' Association ("S.V.A.") of the 1969 Stonewall Rebellion in
Greenwich Village, New York. Cristina was first elected as the
S.V.A. (international) Ambassadress in 1994 -- the year of "Stonewall
25", celebrating the 25th anniversary of Stonewall throughout the
world. The largest celebration was in New York City in Manhattan
where there were two separate Gay Pride "marches" (not "parades"
that one special year). Cristina tearfully accompanied 24
other Stonewall veterans on the huge stage in Central Park. The
S.V.A.'s elected spokesperson Queen Allyson provided the riveting
speech. One of the major themes was the natural Gay, Lesbian,
Bisexual and Transgender ("GLBT") diversity -- particularly
transgender leaders such as Allyson, Brooke, Cristina, Ivana and Sylvia
-- of the Stonewall Club in the late 1960s
and the STONEWALL Veterans' Association now.

2007
The Executive Committee of the STONEWALL Veterans' Association appointed
Cristina Hayworth as the official S.V.A. Liaison to Puerto Rico. Cristina is involved
with the creation of a new political party in Puerto Rico. The
name of the group is
appropriately and proudly called Heritage of Pride
Puerto Rico ("HPPR").
Senorita Cristina is its "presidente
prominente primera"!

2008
On the occasion of the 39th
anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion, S.V.A. Director Williamson
Henderson expanded Cristina's S.V.A. realm to include all of Latin America besides Puerto Rico.
Cristina
has the helpful advantage of fluent Spanish for the Gay,
Lesbian, Bisexual & Transgender ("GLBT") people who may
telephone the S.V.A. from any of the countries in South America
and
Central America in addition to her native homeland Puerto Rico.
SVA-er Cristina Hayworth was campaigning with American presidential
candidate -- active S.V.A. Honorary Member -- U.S.
Senator Hillary Clinton in Puerto
Rico on their "Democratic Primary Day"
on Sunday the 1st of
June 2008. Cristina thanked the most-famous American
woman Senator Hillary
for the wonderful and sincere letter that the
Senator recently sent to the S.V.A. on the occasion of
"Stonewall
39". Not to miss a beat, Cristina called S.V.A.
Director Williamson in Manhattan directly from the scene.
For
your info, Hillary won the P.R. primary
election PR by a blow-out of 69%! Fast-forward to the
last Sunday in June when Cristina will be in Manhattan,
NYC, leading the 39th
New York Gay Pride Parade with the STONEWALL Veterans' Association of the 1969 Rebellion.
Cristina called the S.V.A. on Thanksgiving Day to wish all of the
American Stonewall veterans a very "Happy Thanksgiving"! She
repledged her 'gracias' to the STONEWALL Veterans' Association.
Cristina looks forward to the new year start of the historic commemoration "Stonewall
40"!
