The Queen Eddie Youth Fund

The Queen Eddie Youth Fund was established by City Commissioner Nicole Murray-Ramirez, co-founder and Imperial Court Board Member Nathan Garcia, and the Imperial Court de San Diego in conjunction with The San Diego Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Community Center.

Named in honor of LGBT community leader, army veteran, columnist and entertainer Eddie Conlon, the Fund provides assistance to San Diego youth, ages 13-18, for education-related expenses, books, supplies and clothing.

Queen Eddie was a fixture in San Diego 's LGBT movement for more than 30 years. A beloved entertainer, his performances benefited nearly every charity organization in the LGBT and HIV communities. Queen Eddie's legendary kindness and compassion for his human brothers and sisters was evidenced every week in his Update column, where he advised on matters of love, death, relationships, family and money. Eddie is survived by Shawne, his partner of more than 40 years.

Queen Eddie particularly valued the younger members of the LGBT community and adamantly believed in their capacity to bring about change. His belief in the power of knowledge and education is the basis for this scholarship fund.
