WE ARE HOMOSEXUALS: [retyped from a poor quality original] AS MEMBERS OF THE GAY LIBERATION FRONT WE DENY YOUR RIGHT TO CONDUCT THIS SEMINAR It is precisely such institutions as the Catholic Church and Psychiatry which have created and perpetuated the immorality myths, and stereotypes of homosexuality which we as homosexuals have internalized and from which we now intend to liberate ourselves. As homosexuals struggling to be free, we make the following statements: 1. We demand that you stop examining our homosexuality and become homosexual yourselves. 2. We do not seek acceptance, tolerance, equality, or even entrance into your society with its emphasis on "cock-power" (read male supremacy). LIBERATION THERE WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE. For centuries, this system of power, dominance and possession has produced only genocidal wars, the profound oppression of women and racial minorities, and our own repression as homosexuals. 3. We hold the Catholic Church and the institution of Psychiatry responsible for political crimes committed against homosexuals such as imprisonment, blackmail, beatings, psychological rape, and loss of economic security. WE ALSO FEEL EVERY GAY SUICIDE IS A POLITICAL MURDER! As representatives of the sexist society that daily oppresses us you are incapable of speaking for or defining the quality of our lives. ONLY WE AS HOMOSEXUALS CAN DETERMINE FROM OUR OWN EXPERIENCES WHAT OUR IDENTITY WILL BE … AND THAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE NEW SOCIETY WHICH WE WILL HELP TO BUILD.

Title A name given to the resource Best of Washington Social Club Materials, 22 Description An account of the resource In 1974, Bob Lomax and a small group of friends turned a local house party into a city-wide organization presenting events for the African-American gay and lesbian community: the Best of Washington. Sales of chicken sandwiches provided initial funds for their first public events: dances at the Elks Lodge. Success quickly built the Best of Washington, and its companion group the Little Rascals (for the straight community), into a social force in black gay DC that has endured for more than three decades. The Best of Washington was not the first black gay social group. Lomax’s circle of friends followed in the wake of the Pinochle Club, the Metropolitan Capitolites, and The Group, early social clubs with a narrower focus. The Best of Washington parlayed its fundraising and social success into a model for mounting extravagant social events. It’s All Night Struts, Watergate Affairs, dances at the Elks and the Palm Ballroom and the annual Alice Awards were the scene. By the end of the 70s, a spot on the Best of Washington’s mailing list (of invitations to events) was a much sought after social recognition. Document A resource containing textual data.

Title A name given to the resource Gay Women's Alternative, GWA-DC (Series III) Description An account of the resource Documents relating to the Gay Women's Alternative of DC from 1980 to 1993. includes committee reports, ephemera, newspaper clippings and program announcements. From 1981 to 1993, the Gay Women's Alternative of D.C. served as an essential educational and social focus for the metropolitan area's lesbian community. The organization dedicated itself to presenting an alternative to the closet and to the bars for the area's women, by providing lectures, social events, and discussions, often at the Washington Ethical Society. GWCDC became known for its dances for women, particularly its signature Spring Cotillion, and for its involvement with other women's events in the area including the summer Sisterfire musical extravaganzas and the Passages conferences. In 1985, GWA-DC presented its first conference. The initial organizers included Ina Alterman, Trish Bangert, Bonnie Becker, Susan Geiger, Maryl Kerley, Ann Meltzer, Lil Russo, and Joyce Sideman. By 1993, facing competition from a growing array of competing lesbian organizations, the demands of running a major social organization, and the group's inability to meet speakers' and performers' growing requests for payment (GWA had from the outset determined not to pay such fees), the board of Gay Women's Alternative decided to close down the organization following its final Spring Cotillion in May 1993. <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRrHRW9S4p4M2LbE8Ot_uy0s29zU0-WxmmuAc1mdFyw-B29zuwkrTGp2ajcMR5VfDL8j97idIwbmXZ_/pub" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">VIEW ONLINE FINDING AID</a> Access Rights Information about who can access the resource or an indication of its security status.

GLOV Report Targets DC Fire Chief Otis Latin (photo courtesy The Washington Blade) GLOV Report Targets Chief Latin At 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, August 28, 1996, Gay Men and Lesbians Opposing Violence (GLOV) held a press conference to release its report, Homophobia in the District of Columbia Fire Department, covering the period from August 1, 1995 to August 1, 1996. Several groups have worked in coalition with GLOV to address gay and lesbian community concerns about the D.C. Fire Department. These groups include GLAA; the D.C. Coalition of Black Lesbians, Gay Men and Bisexuals; the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD); Transgender Nation; the American Civil Liberties Union; and others. The following individuals spoke at the press conference. Where the text of a speaker's remarks is available, you can go to their remarks by clicking on their name below. Tracey Conaty, Co-Chair, Gay Men and Lesbians Opposing Violence Darryl Cooper, GLOV Legal Counsel and Steering Committee Member Jessica Xavier, Transgender Nation Rick Rosendall, President, Gay and Lesbian Activists Alliance of Washington, DC Text of report: Homophobia in the District of Columbia Fire Department Statement by Rick Rosendall, President, GLAA At GLOV Press Conference, August 28, 1996 Good morning. Today marks the thirty-third anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Two of Dr. King's closest advisors, and key organizers of the march, were A. Philip Randolph of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, and a black gay man named Bayard Rustin. I am lifted up by their example, and I honor their memory this morning. A community as diverse as Washington poses a special challenge to those who would protect it: to treat everyone equally. But it isn't just a challenge, it's part of the job. In this case, just as Emergency Medical Technicians need to be properly trained and equipped before they leave the station, they need to deal with any problems they may have over different gender identities before they are cutting open a bloody garment at the scene of an accident. We have a right as taxpayers and citizens, not to mention human beings, to expect better than we have gotten from Chief Latin's Fire Department. In turn, we have accepted our responsibility as representatives of part of Washington's diversity to do our share. This impressive report from GLOV is only the latest contribution that unpaid, dedicated community volunteers have offered to help make this a better city. Time and again we have brought our expertise and our commitment to our public officials in a spirit of cooperation and service of the common good. When we are met in a similar spirit, AIDS services are improved, hate crimes are better enforced, youth at risk are reached before they fall through the cracks. Unfortunately, some in government respond to the efforts of community groups like ours by throwing up walls of resistance, avoidance, and contempt. Our city cannot afford to waste its human resources in this way. We cannot afford the arrogance of public servants who don't think they should have to listen or respond to the citizens they are sworn to serve. We come forward as proud citizens eager to help our city address and resolve its problems. We would prefer to encounter a constructive spirit, rather than reflexive adversarialism. But we will be heard. Enough is enough. Lives are at stake. Professionalism and leadership are required. If Chief Latin won't do his job, it's time for the Mayor to replace him with someone who will.

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.

Always «inny inside L LOST AND FOUND Classifieds Sening the Fedrnt City. Virginia, Maryland, and the NO CHARGE FIFTY-SIX L STREET, S.E.-WASHINGTON, D.C. 20003. A MESSAGE TO OUR PATRONS Oh Well. You Can't Please Every One! I! During the past four weekends you have witnessed an effort by certain groups within the'community'to change the admission policies of Lost and Found. Without consulting the Management, they embarked on a campaign of picketing and harassment aimed, not just at Lost and Found, but at our patrons. The Management, knowing that our admission rules are A. Non-discriminatory, B. Very liberal, and C. Equally enforced according to District of Columbia laws, chose to ignore these pickets. After four weeks we were finally contacted by a representative of one of the moderate factions engaged in the picketing. After a very frank discussion, it was agreed there had been a lack of communication, thus causing the misconceptions about our policies. This group and the other moderates have subsequently withdrawn their support, leaving a handful of radicals to walk the line (excuse the pun) alone. We apologize for the inconvenience, as well as the verbal garbage you were forced to hear spewed from the mouths of the pickets as you tried to exercise your right of freedom of choice. Thank you for your support and consequent rebuttal of this small band of radicals who claimed to be the "representatives and moral guardians for the 'community'." When it came to making a choice between a fair policy and a flagrant case of BIASED picketing and harassment, you voted the only way you could, WITH YOUR FEET, AS YOU CROSSED THE PICKET LINE AND ENTERED THE LOST AND FOUND. THANK YOU —See Our Policy Next Page "OUR POLICY" The Management of the "Lost and Found," after two weeks of attempted harrassment, takes this opportunity to make the following statement to the public: For admission, the management requires two valid identifications. A valid identification is any document or card legally issued by the government or an employer, which provides the name, date of birth, and signature of the holder. Photographs will be required only if there is a question of validity of the identification presented. Draft cards are not acceptable as they are too easily obtained and forged. The above identification requirement is no way intended to discriminate against any person. District of Columbia Law makes the Management responsible and it must be the arbiter when there is ANY question involving identification. In addition, management has set the tone governing the dress of any individual entering its restaurant. These House Regulations on dress are posted in the foyer, are liberal, equally applied and should not offend anyone. Lost and Found has been designed in hopes of providing and improving me social activities within the community and it welcomes any suggestions that may be helpful in improving the quality of its services. One of the services, the Lost and Pound's bulletin, "The Classified," is available for free announcements for ANY group within the community. This service was available prior to opening and not as a result of picket demands The management will continue to enforce its House Regulations on dress and to require two (2) identifications from all patrons and persons 18 to 20 years old will not be admitted. The reason for the 18 to 20 regulation is that there is always an adult willing to buy a juvenille a drink and it is impossible to check each individual drink served. * * * * * * S H 0 W S T 0 P P E R S * * * * * * On the evenings of November 29th and 30th, Lost and Found, in conjunction with Henry Street, Inc., will present excerpts from "Fanny Brice's Showstoppers." The production features hit songs from Broadway Shows including such notable showstoppers as "Those Beautiful Girls," from Follies, "Let Me Entertain You," from Gypsy, "It's A Typical Day," from Little Abner and the "Tea For Two" number (with a cast of thousands), from No No Nannette. Because of the length of the show, it will be presented in two acts. The first act will be performed on Monday the 29th and the second act on Tuesday, the 30th. The show will start at 10:00 o'clock. Tickets for both nights will be sold on a first come first served basis and no seats will be reserved. The sale price of the tickets is $3.00 for a single performance (one night) or $5.00 if you wish to attend both evenings. Please remember, that each night will be a different show. Tickets are on sale at the Lost and Found and may be purchased from John LaMothe. For those customers who wish to have dinner, it will be served from 6:00 to 9:00 with reservations taken no later than 7:30. Dinner guests who wish to see the performances will be required to purchase tickets. Because of the publicity and rave reviews that greeted the original performance of Showstoppers, last September at Trinity Theatre, we know there will be a stampede for tickets. So don't be disappointed, get your ticket or tickets early and come enjoy two of the most delightful nights of entertainment you will ever experience. *************** GAY CRAPHIES COOP . . . offers fast duplicating graphies, and photographic services.

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.

THANK YOU -See Our Policy Next Page HALLOWEEN (Was No Drag) Halloween (or as Mame Dennis calls it, "The High Holy Days of Drag") descended on Lost and Found, and in one brief evening we saw enough glitter and sequins to rival the follies. Dorothy Lamour, Mother Nature, and Vera Vamp shared the same runway and collected prizes in the comic division of the costume contest. A table of lovely dowagers (left over from a D.A.R. convention?) watched from the sidelines as a fabulous peacock, outdistanced King Tut and a Moon Maiden for the honor of best costume. Catherine Deneuve was named "Best in Drag," aver two lovely finalists: first runner-up Jessie; and second runner-up Lana Turner. The show for the evening, produced and directed by Fannie Brice, was expertly executed by the cast and enthusiastically applauded by the audience. Mame Dennis was - as always - a most gracious hostess. She handled the show in her own unique fashion, which combines a rare blend of professionalism and humor. (She had an assist from a "Fire Island Telephone Repairman.") As the last feather disappeared through the door and the winners hauled away their TV sets and silver cigarette boxes, as the last piece of glitter was removed from the carpet and the moan set slowly in the west, we bade a fond farewell to our first Halloween happening, know that next year's party would be hard pressed to rival this one for sheer delight and tun.

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.

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 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.

Title A name given to the resource Gay Women's Alternative, GWA-DC (Series III) Description An account of the resource Documents relating to the Gay Women's Alternative of DC from 1980 to 1993. includes committee reports, ephemera, newspaper clippings and program announcements. From 1981 to 1993, the Gay Women's Alternative of D.C. served as an essential educational and social focus for the metropolitan area's lesbian community. The organization dedicated itself to presenting an alternative to the closet and to the bars for the area's women, by providing lectures, social events, and discussions, often at the Washington Ethical Society. GWCDC became known for its dances for women, particularly its signature Spring Cotillion, and for its involvement with other women's events in the area including the summer Sisterfire musical extravaganzas and the Passages conferences. In 1985, GWA-DC presented its first conference. The initial organizers included Ina Alterman, Trish Bangert, Bonnie Becker, Susan Geiger, Maryl Kerley, Ann Meltzer, Lil Russo, and Joyce Sideman. By 1993, facing competition from a growing array of competing lesbian organizations, the demands of running a major social organization, and the group's inability to meet speakers' and performers' growing requests for payment (GWA had from the outset determined not to pay such fees), the board of Gay Women's Alternative decided to close down the organization following its final Spring Cotillion in May 1993. <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRrHRW9S4p4M2LbE8Ot_uy0s29zU0-WxmmuAc1mdFyw-B29zuwkrTGp2ajcMR5VfDL8j97idIwbmXZ_/pub" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">VIEW ONLINE FINDING AID</a> Access Rights Information about who can access the resource or an indication of its security status.

Title A name given to the resource Lesbian Avengers - DC Subject The topic of the resource The Lesbian Avengers were founded in 1992 in New York City as a lesbian direct-action group. Lesbian Avengers were known for their street theater and in-your-face activism. Lesbians would often "eat fire" at their demonstrations as a symbol of taking power back from those who attempt to destroy us. Among their symbols were a bomb with a fuse and t-shirts stating "We Recruit", playing on heterosexual fears. Organizing materials for direct action protests became guides that were often used by other LGBTQ groups. The Lesbian Avengers formed a chapter in Washington, DC ahead of the 1993 March on Washington. Beth Armitage was among the principal conveners of the new group. Cheryl Cort was a co-founder of the Lesbian Avengers' second incarnation (1996). The DC Lesbian AVengers have re-organized at least twice since 1993. Weekly meetings were held at Lammas Bookstore (1426 21st St NW). The DC group became an ally of local AIDS protest organizations and provided a new activist front for local lesbians. The Avengers protested many forms of discrimination: against the Promise Keepers movement, against George Mason University, against harassment of Casa Nova in Pennsylvania. The Avengers' flyer for the Promise Keepers protest warned: We are here to remind you that we are not invisible. We are not quiet. We may be part of your families, but we want no part of your vision for our country. The flyer goes on to make its own promises: We promise to recruit. We promise to lead. We promise to fight hate. We promise to be visible. We promise to subvert. We promise to be inclusive. We promise to reproduce. DC's chapter was instrumental in organizing the first Dyke March on April 24, 1993. The march, without a permit (a tactic which has become a tradition), drew 20,000 women who set off from Dupont Circle to march through the neighborhood and up to Meridian Hill.

Title A name given to the resource Lesbian Avengers - DC Subject The topic of the resource The Lesbian Avengers were founded in 1992 in New York City as a lesbian direct-action group. Lesbian Avengers were known for their street theater and in-your-face activism. Lesbians would often "eat fire" at their demonstrations as a symbol of taking power back from those who attempt to destroy us. Among their symbols were a bomb with a fuse and t-shirts stating "We Recruit", playing on heterosexual fears. Organizing materials for direct action protests became guides that were often used by other LGBTQ groups. The Lesbian Avengers formed a chapter in Washington, DC ahead of the 1993 March on Washington. Beth Armitage was among the principal conveners of the new group. Cheryl Cort was a co-founder of the Lesbian Avengers' second incarnation (1996). The DC Lesbian AVengers have re-organized at least twice since 1993. Weekly meetings were held at Lammas Bookstore (1426 21st St NW). The DC group became an ally of local AIDS protest organizations and provided a new activist front for local lesbians. The Avengers protested many forms of discrimination: against the Promise Keepers movement, against George Mason University, against harassment of Casa Nova in Pennsylvania. The Avengers' flyer for the Promise Keepers protest warned: We are here to remind you that we are not invisible. We are not quiet. We may be part of your families, but we want no part of your vision for our country. The flyer goes on to make its own promises: We promise to recruit. We promise to lead. We promise to fight hate.
