  |  Author, historian, gay activist Stuart Timmons died Saturday morning at the Serrano North Convalescent Hospital in Hollywood, just two weeks after his 60th birthday on Jan. 14. Apparently he developed breathing problems and his heart stopped, according to an email sent to friends by his sister Gay Timmons.

Timmons suffered a debilitating stroke 9 years ago but had been active in the West Hollywood and Silver Lake gay communities over the past four years. Recently he was back in the hospital, receiving visitors. “Keep the smiles coming by visiting Stuart Timmons!

He’s still glowing from his recent 60th birthday and excited to talk to visitors about history, how rebellion’s work – and looking forward to the 3rd year of his WeHo LGBTQ History Tour special event happening on June 3rd!,” Jason Jen wrote Jan. 24 on his Instagram page.

Part 1: #Trump's executive order, like the President himself, is divisive, exploits fear and ignorance, and undermines the founding principles of what #America represents and how it became so great in the first place. It is also tearing families apart. Trump says his #MuslimBan is to stop terrorists. In reality it has stopped law abiding legal residents of America holding student or work visas from coming back home. Potentially 500,000. It has spurn anxiety and sown fear in the Muslim community. Hardly surprising, as this is the same man who when asked what he thinks about Islam, told #AndersonCooper on CNN, “I think Islam hates us”. Well, This is what I told #CNN late tonight. #womensmarch #iran

Part 2: Iranians are disproportionately affected by Trump's executive order. Iranian actress Taraneh Alidoosti star of the Oscar-nominated film “The Salesman,” announced Thursday morning that she had decided to boycott the 89th Academy Awards next month due to President Trump’s “racist” ban on Iranian visas. The film's director, who already won an  Oscar may be subject to the ban.
