Submission declined on 1 April 2023 by RPSkokie (talk).This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Misplaced Pages article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Misplaced Pages. Declined by RPSkokie 21 months ago.

  • Comment: Please review previous comment left by JSFarman. Klinetalk to me!contribs 22:17, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: The article needs to maintain a neutral point of view. ("Deeply involved" and "instrumental" are not neutral.) Can you give it an edit for tone and add references beyond the LA Times? I fixed the cites, headings, and wikilinks, but you might give the visual editor a try - it will make it easier for you to properly format the article. JSFarman (talk) 02:17, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

1 of first mayors/councilmen of West Hollywood, CA as well as Executive Directors of LA LGBTQ Center

Stephen Eugene Schulte (b. January 21, 1946) is an American politician, activist and policy analyst. The first openly gay candidate to run for the Los Angeles City Council, he was the third mayor of West Hollywood.

Political career

Following his 1983 resignation as director of the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center (now the Los Angeles LGBT Center), Schulte ran for Los Angeles City Council. He was later elected to the City Council of West Hollywood after it was established as an independent city. Serving with John Heilman, Valerie Terrigno and Paul Koretz, Schulte was known as the "voice of dissent."

Schulte served as the City's third mayor from 1986 to 1987. He was involved in the City's organizational, legislative, personnel and policy decisions.  Schulte was central to the city's creation of the Public Safety Commission that monitored anti-gay behavior by the deputies of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Schulte also worked to establish a gay and lesbian task force to reshape city policies and worked with a coalition of anti-development activists who succeeded in halting the development of a 23 million dollar civic center in West Hollywood Park. During his time as councilman, Schulte helped to establish a Russian Cultural Center for the City of West Hollywood as a means of integrating and educating Russian immigrants fleeing the anti-Semitism of the Soviet Union.

Project Angel Food

Schulte was Executive Director of Project Angel Food (1992–1993), a nonprofit organization in Los Angeles County which provides prepared meals for people who are home-bound with illness.  He joined the organization at a time of structural and financial challenges and worked to see stability, growth and progressive employee policies embedded into the agency.  He clashed with Project Angel Food's founder, Marianne Williamson, which resulted in his dismissal. Employees of Project Angel Food responded by demanding the resignation of Williamson and the reinstatement of Schulte as director.
