Abstract A summary of the resource. <div class="sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html"> <div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class="sqs-html-content"> <p style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Maurice Dorsey is a thirty-year resident of Logan Circle, an author, a former ANC commissioner, and former employee of the University of the District of Columbia and the USDA where, among other things, he helped LGBT employees become successful in the workplace. He related stories of two long-term relationships and how they quietly lived their lives – going to the Kennedy Center, sharing newspapers at coffee shops.</p> <p style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Maurice recalled that in the 1990’s there was a perceived divide between 14th and 15th Streets, NW given drugs, crime and prostitution along 14th Street. Annie’s on 17 th Street NW was a safe restaurant for gays to dine out. Friends and Halo were bars of choice. Reflecting on the changes he has seen, Maurice said, <em>“Logan Circle was not the Logan Circle we know now…If you walked out my front door and turned right to go to 15th Street, you would have thought you were on the Champs-Elysées with the beautiful trees and everything, the cars zooming up and down the street. But if you turned left…14th Street was just dreadful.”</em></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sqs-block audio-block sqs-block-audio sqs-stretched"> <div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class="sqs-audio-embed"> <div class="yui3-widget sqs-widget sqs-widgets-audio-player dark first-play"> <div class="sqs-widgets-audio-player-content"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 6/15/2022 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource This interview belongs to LCCA, the Washington Blade, and Rainbow History Project.

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. <br /><br />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.<br /><br /><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRrHRW9S4p4M2LbE8Ot_uy0s29zU0-WxmmuAc1mdFyw-B29zuwkrTGp2ajcMR5VfDL8j97idIwbmXZ_/pub" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>VIEW ONLINE FINDING AID</strong></a> Access Rights Information about who can access the resource or an indication of its security status.
