Even before the Stonewall riots, gay activists demonstrated in the 60’s for anti-discrimination policies for gays in the federal government and the military. The 1979 March on Washington issued what became known as The Five Demands: Pass a comprehensive lesbian/gay rights bill in Congress; Issue a Presidential Executive Order banning discrimination based on sexual orientation in the federal government; Repeal all anti-lesbian/gay laws; End discrimination in lesbian mother and gay father custody battles; and, Protect lesbian/gay youth from laws that discriminate against, oppress, and/or harass. Today, almost 40 years after Stonewall, we are still debating many of the same issues. Despite significant progress, we have not passed national legislature on any of the original demands except for an Executive Order banning discrimination based on sexual orientation in the Federal Government. Join representatives of several of the national GLBT political organizations as they assess the current political climate, and discuss where we have made political gains and why we have not made more.

The growing strength of the Gay rights movement was evident when nearly one million people showed up for the third March on Washington on April 25, 1993, at the time the largest demonstration in U.S. history. While the mood of the 1987 March had been somber in tone, the 1993 March was full of hope and cheer. With the election of the first President openly sympathetic to Gay rights, there was much to celebrate and the March received unprecedented media coverage, including the cover of Newsweek. The NAACP endorsed the 1993 March, the first time the institution directly linked the Gay rights movement to the civil rights movement. The 1993 marchers demanded the Civil Rights Act be amended to provide protection for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered Americans. It was also the first time that Bisexuals were included in the March name; attempts to add Transgender to the title failed. https://archives.rainbowhistory.org/files/original/02371cdc0ae1abfbb3d4e1b2c2ef4dae.pdf 5d3ab1aff95581414cfa3db49540752f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

From its origins in 1969, Pride has become a nationwide, and increasingly worldwide, phenomenon. Hundreds of GLBT Pride events take place every year in communities large and small. Pride reminds us that fewer than 40 years ago, such a public event could not have been held in this country. It would have been unthinkable, perhaps even unimaginable. Pride reminds us that there are places in the world today where Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered people aren’t free to be out, much less march in a parade or gather in protest. Pride reminds us how precious civil liberties and civil rights ar to everyone in a free society.

Pride is among the ways Gay people have created a public presence. For the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered (GLBT) community worldwide, Pride is a party, a protest, or both at once. Pride demands and defends the civil rights of GLBT people. Pride celebrates and remembers a minority group that once lived in the shadows of the larger population, but is now out, visible, and here to stay. For more than 30 years, Pride has provided a forum for people- Gay and straight- to speak out on civil rights, politics, the AIDS epidemic and other issues. It also is a venue for GLBT political activity and community building. From its first years, Pride has been a place where community organizations and institutions could showcase their activities and attract new members.

Title A name given to the resource Black Pride [Exhibit Panel] Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2006 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. Washington, DC has the longest-running and largest Black Pride in the United States. Black Pride began when the 1979 National Lesbian/Gay Third World Conference ended its meeting with a march by persons of color to the National Mall where they joined the March on Washington. This march was the first public demonstration by African-American Lesbians and Gays in the heart of the African-American areas of DC. More than a decade later, on May 25, 1991, the Black Gay Pride Festival was launched at Howard University’s Banneker Field. Best Friends, an African-American AIDS support organization sponsored the event as a fundraiser for the city’s AIDS support groups. Memorial Day weekend was chosen for its significance in the African American GLBT community. From 1975 to 1990, the ClubHouse–DC’s leading Black Gay dance club–had sponsored a major social event over that weekend. Black Pride remained at Banneker Field until 2000 when it moved to its new home in the city’s convention center. Black Pride draws attendees from around the country who comes for a five-day celebration that includes dances, parties, artistic and cultural events, cruises and prayer breakfasts. The success of Washington, DC’s Black Pride has inspired more than 25 similar events in other cities and helped form the International Federation of Black Prides.

In 1971, the Community Church (later Metropolitan Community Church), the Gay Activists Alliance and the Mattachine Society, an early activist organization, sponsored the first bus trips to New York. The first Pride event in Washington, “Gay and Proud,” took place in May 1972. Three years later, a group led by Deacon Maccubbin, co-owner of DC’s Gay book store, Lambda Rising, established DC’s first annual Pride. On June 22, 1975, Gay Pride, sponsored by Lambda Rising and the Community Building Association (home to the Gay Switchboard, Gay Youth, Off Our Backs, The Gay Blade, Lambda Rising and the Bread & Roses Music Coop) took place on 1700 block of 20th Street NW, the city’s first officially recognized annual Pride festival. Gays and Lesbians packed the block lined with booths representing community groups and celebrated with food, drinks, and music.

Holds First Ever Black Lesbian, Gay Pride Day By Mark Hails WASHINGTON—The weather came shining through and the throngs came out for the first Black Lesbian and Gay Pride Festival held May 25 in Washington. "Let Us All Be Together" was the theme for the event, which organizers said attracted hundreds of men and women. Welmore Cook, event coordinator, said proceeds from the festival will be directed toward agencies providing HTV-related services to the black lesbian and gay community, ideally those that receive little or no government assistance. About $3,000 net profit will be distributed. Although the focus was on raising money to support services for people with AIDS, organizers said they hope a byproduct was to encourage black gay people throughout the area to "come out of the closet." "Two and three years ago, we were still denying we existed, or that AIDS was a problem in this community,'' Theodore Kirkland, one of the festival's organizers, told the Washington Post. "Any grassroots project has to turn itself around. I think the time is right now." Organizers chose Banneker Field near Howard University in order to be as close as possible to the black community. The festival came about because Cook, Ernest Hopkins and Theodore Kirkland talked among themselves about raising money for AIDS service organizations," said Carlene Cheatam, a member of the organizing committee who directed the lesbian outreach for the festival. "The need is great, so they saw this as one way to make money. They took that action with that belief." "They went around and laid the groundwork, as far as getting the permits, identifying the space, getting the petitions signed by the people in the neighborhood and following up on all the other requirements of putting on something like this. Then once the foundation was laid, they then extended an invitation to the community to help make it happen," she told BLK. They incorporated Black Lesbian and Gay Pride, Inc. This is just a small corporation of people who said, 'let's do this'," she added. Cheatam was quick to say that the festival was not organized as any kind of reaction to the annual Lesbian and Gay Pride Day festival, held in Dupont Circle. She stressed that while some black heterosexuals were expected to come to support the Black Lesbian and Gay Pride Day, most folks would probably opt to go to both, including the organizers of the Black Lesbian and Gay Pride event. Admission to the festival was only $2.00. The reality is that there is no other entity in our community raising money for us for that need," she said. Among the most visible organizations taking part in the first ever event were the D.C. Coalition of Black Lesbians and Gay Men, the Inner City AIDS Network, IMPACT-DC, Best Friends of D.C, Black Women Together, the Black Women's Support Group and the Nob Hill Bar. The day long festival featured women's and men's sporting events and booths from community organizations. Entertainment was provided by a number of groups, including the Paper Dolls. Cheatam didn't see the festival knocking down the walls of denial among the heterosexuals in the black community overnight, but remained optimistic. "It's just one of the many steps that are necessary," she told BLK. "I don't believe that as a community we've been comfortable enough to dialogue with the straight black community, and we know they are not comfortable dialoguing with us...I wish that we were confident enough to organize ourselves to do that education. We're the only ones who can do that. But I don't believe that we are comfortable or organized or whatever to do that effectively. I hope that dialogue starts again and that some people would be willing to connect to make it happen." A number of local politicians made appearances, such as councilmembers Frank Smith and John Ray, and D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton. Organizers also took time out to honor artist Adrienne Blackwell with a community service award for the female illusionist's efforts at raising money for AIDS organizations. Also honored as "Man of the Year" was Phil Pannell and "Woman of the Year* Charlene Cheatam. Best male entertainer was Melvin Parks, best female entertainer, Halima Williams, and Sparkle McHarris as best drag performer. The turnout was far greater than he expected, Kirkland said. What members have to do now, he said, is ask themselves one question: "Are we fully at that crossroads, where we go from being underground and grassroots to being recognized?"

The second National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights took place October 11, 1987, with an estimated half million participants. Protest issues included the government’s slow response to AIDS and the Supreme Court’s 1986 decision to uphold sodomy laws in the Bowers v. Hardwick case. In a foreshadowing of later protests, the day before the historic March, an estimated 2,000 Gay and Lesbian couples exchanged marriage vows in front of the Internal Revenue Service building. After the March, more than 600 protesters were arrested at the U.S. Supreme Court protesting the 1986 Hardwick Decision, making it the largest act of civil disobedience since the anti-Vietnam War demonstrations. Organizations formed as a result of the 1987 March included the National Latina/o Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Organization (LLEGO), the first national group for Latinas and Latinos, BiNet U.S.A. for Bisexuals. National Coming Out Day continues to be marked on October 11th, the anniversary of the 1987 March on Washington. https://archives.rainbowhistory.org/files/original/68f931e5cad5bacd6d5e410833077867.jpg cf2a54f14c3f0c9476a1216776141b8d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Millennium March on Washington took place APril 30, 2000. It represented a major rift in the Gay civil rights movement. Unlike the first three Marches on Washington, which were called for and planned by grassroots activists, the 2000 March was initially called for and organized by the Human Rights Campaign and the Metropolitan Community Churches. Criticism focused on the closed nature of the planning process and the lack of a galvanizing political agenda. Many GLBT leaders called for a boycott, and some prominent GLBT organizations did not endorse the event. Despite the controversy and the boycott, masses still descended on Washington, DC, although critics contend it was smaller and less diverse than the two previous Marches. The March platform called for the passage of a hate crimes bill and racial justice. Speakers repeatedly stressed the need to get out the vote on election day. To accommodate persons with disabilities, the March route was dramatically different and shorter than the other three Marches. For the first time, the March included a festival, which stretched down Pennsylvania Avenue. Allegations of theft and fraud, and a subsequent FBI financial investigation clouded the festival, thus the Millenium March ended the way it began – in controversy. https://archives.rainbowhistory.org/files/original/0ffd21d8159c9973a635dea57e9ac471.JPG 43e8d793cd62d040e347af0632b59d02 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Ourstory: Pride in the DMV Collection, 26 Description An account of the resource In May 1972, Washington, DC's GLBT community celebrated its first Pride. The previous two years, gays and lesbians had gone to New York City to celebrate the Stonewall anniversary. In the winter of 1972, the Gay Liberation Front-DC proposed a local celebration, though they scheduled it a month and half before New York's celebration so that people would not have to choose between the events. DC's initial Pride celebration was as much a protest as a celebration, following almost exactly one year after Gay Mayday and the anti-war Mayday demonstrations had closed the streets of the city. This marked the first public celebration of gay and lesbian pride in Washington DC. Organized by the Gay Liberation Front, the festival drew support from All Souls Church, the Community Bookshop, the Gay Activists Alliance, the Gay People's Alliance of George Washington University, Henry Street (one of the houses of the Awards Club, a local drag organization) and the Metropole Cinema. The principal organizers were Chuck Hall, Bruce Pennington, and Cade Ware. This collection includes materials from Gay Pride, Capital Pride, DC Black Pride, and other Pride-related festivals and events.

The Stonewall Riots mobilized the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Community to organize on a national level and plan the first massive demonstration for Gay and Lesbian rights. On October 14, 1979, an estimated 50,000 to 100,000 Lesbians, Gay men, and supporters participated in the first National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights, the largest gathering of its kind up to that time and an unprecedented mass celebration of Gay and Lesbian pride. The 1979 March brought together an incredibly diverse body of what was largely local activism into a unified national movement and marked the tenth anniversary of Stonewall. https://archives.rainbowhistory.org/files/original/6dfbca6dbfcb42d0eb9dafe5ede9d812.jpg 221ca4c84b92b591b86d616bcbaff460 Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.
