Beware AIDS Buzzwords: They misinform, insult, and promote ignorance. Jody Powell, former White House press secretary, has identified the following terms as "buzzwords" that either should not be used by reporters or that require explanation. His comments are taken from You Can Do Something About AIDS, published by The Stop AIDS Project, Boston, Mass., 1988. Term Bodily fluids Problem ".. .should never be used without an explanation of which bodily fluids actually contain the HIV virus in concentrations sufficient to transmit the disease... Sweat, saliva, and tears are all bodily fluids, but do not carry a threat of HIV infection. Reports on AIDS should make it clear that semen, vaginal fluids, and blood are the concern here." General population ".. .artificially divides the American people into those who have the disease and those who do not. Everyone who has AIDS—regardless of sexual orientation, race, gender, or how they were exposed to the virus—is part of the 'general population.'" High risk groups ".. .implies that some kind of demographic trait, rather than behavioral practice, is reponsible for AIDS exposure." APPROPRIATE TERM: High risk behavior AIDS victims "People with AIDS are not victims; they are people struggling to live normal lives in the face of a fatal disease. We don't refer to people with other diseases as victims..." MOST PREFERABLE PHRASE: People with AIDS HIV virus vs. "AIDS" "Many people still confuse exposure to the HIV virus with the disease itself. More than one million people are believed to have been exposed to the virus; some fifty thousand actual cases have been reported* Coverage should always explain the difference." Condoms "Reports recommending condom use to reduce the risk of HIV exposure should clearly state that latex condoms with a spermicide are preferable (natural lamb condoms may not provide the necessary protection)." Intimate sexual contact "...a polite phrase that doesn't tell the reader anything useful (many people regard kissing and fondling as intimate). Certain sexual practices—especially unprotected anal intercourse—are known to pose a much greater chance of HIV transmission than others. News articles should make this clear." The AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power (ACT UP) feels that the following terms also pose problems. Innocent victims A term sometimes applied to children with AIDS or those who contracted AIDS through blood transfusions; a value judgment that implies that some people with AIDS may be guilty of something. "Victims" is also a problem (see above). AIDS carrier The term "carrier" is reminiscent of the typhoid hysteria of the 1920s, and can incite similar reactions. APPROPRIATE TERMS: HIV (antibody)-positive person or person with AIDS (depending on condition). AIDS activism vs. gay rights AIDS activist groups are sometimes incorrectly called gay rights groups. While some AIDS activists also campaign for gay rights, and some issues may overlap, the two subjects should not be confused. Having sex Also vague; see "Intimate sexual contact" (above).

Title A name given to the resource Robert Mitchell "Judge" Coggin Collection (Series VIII) Description An account of the resource Robert Coggin founded and led the Suburban Maryland Gay Alliance (SMGA) in 1981 to advocate for gay issues in Montgomery County, MD. In the end of 1982, and by June 1983, the group had changed its name to Suburban Maryland Lesbian/Gay Alliance (SMLGA,) active in Montgomery, Prince George’s and Howard counties, MD. By 1987 it had expanded its mission statewide and changed its name to Maryland Lesbian/Gay Alliance (MLGA). This organization created the bulk of these records related to their advocacy work on gay equality issues, especially its successful work to have Montgomery County adopt a gay-inclusive anti-discrimination policy in 1984. Surveys and questionnaires were sent to candidates for local, state, and federal elections, and many responses were received and the results tabulated for outreach to voters. The Alliance provided pre-election information to voters as well as post-election materials to hold the politicians accountable and prepare for a future election. The collection contains membership information about the organization(s) and their activities, minutes and newsletters of the boards, as well as founding documents. Several different laws, such as the Anti-discrimination ordinance of Montgomery County; of Prince George’s County; of Maryland State; and the US were lobbied for change and inclusion of LGBT-related protections. Also a court case in 1984 about discrimination and even unsuccessful lobby attempts. There are also clippings related to the Alliance’s activities as well as copies of important national news articles related to homosexuality from the 1960s and 70s. Newsletters and fliers collected by Coggin as a member of the local community may be found in the collection, including his participation in various Pride festivals and National Marches for LGBT equality. Collection includes personal papers of Coggin including photographs, wedding and funeral announcements, as well as biographical materials and some of his poetry and short stories--including multiple drafts. There are several large scrapbooks including documents, clippings, and photographs related to his advocacy and work for LGBT equality. <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1va55SK8CEy8ZEeySh99MFUJj-JqfNpOCi_veXoHklXE/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">VIEW ONLINE FINDING AID</a> Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Robert Mitchell "Judge" Coggin Suburban Maryland Gay Alliance Suburban Maryland Lesbian/Gay Alliance Maryland Lesbian/Gay Alliance Access Rights Information about who can access the resource or an indication of its security status.

Title A name given to the resource Carl Rizzi , Mame Dennis, and The Academy of Washington Collection 6 Alternative Title An alternative name for the resource. The distinction between titles and alternative titles is application-specific. Carl Rizzi Papers on the Academy of Washington : Digital Collection Description An account of the resource The year 1961 saw the creation of two of Washington's first organized LGBT groups, the Mattachine Society of Washington and the Oscars. The Academy Awards of Washington, an amalgam of Oscars members and Awards Club (1965) members, incorporated in 1973 in Washington, DC, provides secure venues, mentoring, and a structure for female impersonators in the area. It is one of the oldest and most enduring organizations in the nation to provide support for female impersonators. The Climate for Drag in the Sixties Until 'Liz Taylor' created the Oscars in the autumn of 1961, drag performers and those aspiring to 'do drag' had no organized structure, no venues, and very little safety. In the repressive atmosphere of the 1950s and 1960s, wearing drag was an invitation to scorn and physical danger. Wearing drag was illegal in most southern states, and Washington DC was indeed southern in those days, though drag was never illegal in the district. Still it invited arrest and persecution. Public social spaces didn't allow drag (an ostracism that existed until well into the 1970s). Those who wanted to wear drag did it in the privacy of their homes or at private after hour parties. Indeed, Liz Taylor's house parties at her Hollywood House on Monroe St. NW were legendary in their time. Many clubs would not allow patrons in drag to enter, and few hosted drag shows. The single exception was the Golden Key Club in North Beach, MD. For other clubs, drag and drag shows were an option only during Halloween Week, which Mame Dennis calls "the high holy days of drag". At Halloween, the Brown Derby, the Chicken Hut, Hide-a-way, Georgetown Grill, Johnnie's, and the Rendezvous organized drag contests. Creating a Safe Haven for Female Impersonators Along with the Mattachine Society of Washington, the Oscars and the Awards Club were the very first organized groups for gays in the Washington area. Recalling her vision for the Academies, Liz Taylor said "... I strived to mold an elite group of people whose social life would center around drag. By creating parties and activities I knew that I would always be surrounded by people wanting to attend them... I knew that some form of drag group was necessary. I had thought about it for a long time -- and suddenly I found the answer one evening on television -- the first time I saw an Awards show called the Oscars." The first parties were held in various homes in Washington DC, which took on special names such as Blair House, Butterfield 8, Camelot, Hollywood House, Mintwood Place, Port Valada, Sand Piper, Taylor Lounge, and others. In time, these house names became the names of 'drag houses', associations of female impersonators who participated in the social activities of the Academy Awards. The first board members of the Academy were Lix Taylor (President), Bob Clauze, Prince Karl, Frankie, and 'Lena Horne'. Organization of the Academy The Academy's Houses in 1976 The houses of the Academy over 30 years have included Beekman Place (led by 'Mame Dennis'), Butterfield 8 ('Liz Taylor's house), Maryland House (led by 'Patty Duke'), Henry Street (led by 'Fanny Brice'), Liberty House, Dragonwyck, Phoenix House (led by 'Jean Nate'), and Twelve Oaks (led by 'Mae Bush'). In 1965, Jerry Buskirk and 'Vivien Leigh' led the formation of a second group, the Awards Club of Washington. The Awards Club organized the International Emmy Awards. By 1968, many members of the first Academy were also members of the Awards Club. Bill Oates Jr. & Mame Dennis In May 1973 Bill Oates Jr. ("the Godfather") brokered an agreement creating the Academy Awards of Washington, led by 'Elizabeth Taylor', 'Mame Dennis', 'Patti Duke' and 'Fanny Brice'. Beekman Place and Henry Street Houses rejoined the Academy at this time. 'Mame Dennis' (of Beekman Place), chosen as president in 1973, continues to lead the group. Bill Oates, who became known as "The Godfather", helped put together the structure of the new group. The original houses of the Academy Awards of Washington were Beekman Place, Butterfield 8, Henry Street, and Maryland House. Liberty House (led by 'Edie Gorme') was added in 1974. In 1975, the Academy re-organized following a period of internal dispute. The new organization included the houses of Beekman Place, Dragonwyck (of Hagerstown, MD), Henry Street, Maryland House, Phoenix House, and Twelve Oaks (of Norfolk and Richmond). In the 1960s, most hotels and clubs would not host drag events. In its first years, the Academy held monthly contests at the short-lived Uptown Lounge in Cleveland Park. It was at the Uptown that 'Liz Taylor' first did her long remembered rendition of "Letter to Daddy". 'Fanny Brice's house, Henry Street, formed a drag performance show, Showstoppers, in 1971, which premiered at Georgetown's Trinity Theatre in September 1971. In May 1972, the Showstoppers group participated in DC's first Gay Pride celebration with a show at George Washington University's Marvin Center. Showstoppers appeared at the Marvin Center from 1973 to 1981. Showstoppers endured for many years as a very popular annual production in Washington DC's GLBT community. Until 1968 when the Washington Hilton hosted the Black Pearl Awards, most events were held at the Cairo Hotel, Casino Royale, Dodge House, and the Palm Ballroom. One of the first venues used by the Academy Awards after 1973 was the third floor area above the Hideaway and Louie's clubs at 9th and Pennsylvania NW. This third floor space became the Oscar's Eye Theatre and was used for most of the Academy and house functions. In the 1970s, Academy members became involved in the Waaay Off Broadway theatre at 55 L St. SE. Beekman place opened the theatre with its production of Cabaret. The Academy held events at the Rogue, after the latter's move to 5th and K Streets NW. In 1992, the former Waaay Off Broadway theatre became Club 55, and Academy events were invited to move there. It is still the home of many Academy functions. The Academy Awards holds events every Sunday from September through May at the Club 55, 55 L Street SE (formerly the location of the Waaay Off Broadway theatre). Protocols and Events From the beginning in 1961, the Academy has sponsored Oscars for Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Drag in a Series, President and First Lady, Mr and Miss Academy, Mr and Miss Showbusiness, Vice President and Vice Lady, New York Drama Critics Best Actor and Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress, and Mr and Miss Oscar. In addition to regularly scheduled drag balls, the Academy's top annual pageants are those for Miss Gaye Universe-DC and Miss Gaye America-DC. Monthly contests at Club 55 present Zodiac awards. Annual special awards, such as the 'Lanie Kazan', recognize outstanding contributions to the community. At pageants, the order of appearance of award winners is strictly controlled by the Protocol. For some titles, the winners make make an entrance on stage. Top awards, such as Miss Gaye America and Miss Gay Universe, are 'walking' awards entitling the winner to take a formal presentation walk on stage before the audience. 'Fanny Brice', speaking to Bruce Pennington in a 1975 interview for Friends Radio talks about her first drag experience. Brice was 'mother' of the Henry Street drag house and founder of the popular Showstoppers revue of the 1970s.

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.

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.

PA-The Human Rights Commission in this cily is currently investigating a complaint concerning racial discrimination at a gay male bath house, after initial checks appeared to boar out the complaint, according to HRC's Larry Groth. . The Club Barracks on Sansome Street here is involved, with allegations of complaints from some members that the clientele was becoming "too d a r k . " HRC reports indicate that as a result' the management introduced a policy of requiring blacks to fill out an application form. Cashiers reportedly size up applicants before accepting them • for membership and "probably exceptionally good-looking black men a r c still given membership," according to Philnde/phin Gay News. But most black applicants have reportedly been told that their applications may take "up to a month to process," according to Groth. Dennis Howling, general field manager of the Club Barracks, denied any discrimination, but slated that membership policies have been tightened up recently in the wake of petty thefts. In September the discovery of an allegedly stolen wallet led to the barring of a black man from the promises. As a "security measure" Dowling savs the Barracks is now s t r i d o r in requiring that all prospective members have a member sponsor them or requiring that they present membership cards from" other baths. As a private club, the Barracks is theoretically entitled to discriminate on any basis it wishes to and Dowling states that the Barracks does reject prospective members whom it believes would not be "an asset to the club." The application form, however, which Dowling prepared himself, states that "This club does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, nationality or sexual preference." IIRC's Groth believes that the Barracks' claim to bo a private club might not stand up in court, since their membership foe is low compared with the charge for a single visit. The annual Barracks fee is $10. and the charge for a room on most nights is $8. By contrast the YMCA charges 15 cents per visit after an annual $I(K) lee. HRC reports also contend that (he Barracks cashiers have been instructed to screen out tin; "old and the ugly." The HRC has not yet investigated this charge, which could be a further violation of state law.

Including the shows "Gay Fairfax / Gay Spectrum;" "Inside/Outside the Beltway;" "One in 10 People;" and "Third Side. Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Horton, Bill Claypoole, Michael Pearson Brown, Karen Ponton, Jean Relation A related resource THIRD SIDE Producers: Kevin Kerdash, Larry Kennedy, David Vanderbilt, Michelle Michaels On Screen Anchors: Michelle Michaels and John Moore Regular Contributor: Jim Cooney Format: 1 hour magazine show with national emphasis, news and entertainment about the gay community. The Third Side ran six monthly episodes from January through June of 1991. It was produced in the home of Larry Kennedy and Kevin Kerdash for the local public access channel DCTV, then aired in Washington, DC; Sacramento, California; Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada; and Portland, Oregon. Featured guests included Larry Kramer, Jon Hinson, The Flirtations, Craig Dean and Patrick Gill, and Rob Eichberg. One segment featured Jason Dilly's Project Face to Face, which was part of the Smithsonian Institution's Experimental Gallery. Visitors viewed life mask of people with aids and listened to tapes of that person speaking about their life. The Smithsonian asked to use this segment as part of that exhibit, where it was screened hourly for a month. That segment is now a permanent part of the Smithsonian's collection. Included is a flyer that was used to promote the show at the 1991 Gay Pride Day. It was there that Kevin and Larry realized that most of DC was not yet wired for cable, and even those who knew of the show could not get it. It was this plus difficulty getting regular help with the show that made them decide to stop production. To this day Kevin and Larry are very proud with what they accomplished with its brief history. GAY FAIRFAX / GAY SPECTRUM The producers of Gay Fairfax changed its name to Gay Spectrum in the fall of 1993 when the FLGCA Board of Directors refused to allow other financial sponsors of the program. Already Executive Producer Steve Futch had entered into an agreement with the Lambda Rising bookstore for financial support and this was acknowledged in an announcement after the final credits. The new program was exactly the same in format and content with a new theme and opening graphics. The new Gay Spectrum was co-hosted by Eric Randall (a pseudonym for Randy Leverette) and Angela Judy. Crewmembers (many from Gay Fairfax) included Rob Switala, Dave Johnson, Michael Claypoole, Clark Chesser, Michael Fry, Charles Roberts, Jean Ponton, Gail Goodfriend, and others. New reporters included Melissa Anderson, Rich Kazinski, Rick Barton, and Bob Connelly. Memorable highlights included an entire program devoted to the D.C. AIDSWalk '94 including interviews with Second Lady Tipper Gore and D.C. Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton and other interviews with Congressman Gerry Studds and White House Aide George Stephanopolous at the annual Human Rights Campaign Dinner. The show began to loose steam when a very overworked Steve Futch left the show in early 1996. Rob Switala and Michael Claypoole stepped in as co-producers quickly changed the frequency from a weekly to a monthly series. Soon Randy Leverette left the show to take a job with the Home Box Office (HBO) in New York. The last four episodes were co-hosted by Bob Connelly and Angela Judy during the summer of 1996. But enthusiasm for the show had begun to wane, and the Gay Spectrum left the air for good just as Gay News Network was becoming a success.

Newsletters and Fliers of the LGBTQ Communities (Eaton-Kessinger, Series 2) Description An account of the resource Includes newsletters collected from various sources related to the activities of many community organizations. Fliers, advertisements, brochures and pamphlets related to these groups are also held with the newsletters. Some material related to non-DC groups and activities are also present and were most likely sent to people at the Center from contacts outside the city.
