In this interview, Louis Hughes, a native Baltimorean, recounts his experiences within DC’s African-American LGBTQ community during the 1970s and 1980s. Hughes, who came out in the mid-1970s, soon discovered Washington to be an exciting center of African-American gay life. Hughes joined many other Black Baltimoreans who were involved in gay activism and community life in DC. He routinely commuted to DC to dance at the famed ClubHouse, and discover innovative Black artists at the ENIKAlley Coffeehouse (such as Thurlow Tibbs and Essex Hemphill). He also served as co-chair of the National Black Coalition of Black Lesbians and Gays, organized the 1979 Third World Lesbian and Gay Conference, and advised Howard University’s pioneering gay-rights student organization Lambda Alliance. Later, he refocused his activism within Baltimore, working on a gay rights bill at the Baltimore City Council, and serving as a peer advisor at Morgan State University. By the end of the interview, Hughes laments the loss of historic LGBTQ spots in DC, and wonders if DC culture is inherently more superficial and fleeting than the more deep-rooted community organizations that grow within Baltimore. 1970s 1980s ABilly Jones-Hennin Academic organizations Activism Advocacy groups African Americans Bachelor's Mill Baltimore MD Bars and clubs Brass Rail ClubHouse Coffee houses Conventions Drag performances Essex Hemphill Gay rights HIV/AIDS La Zambra Lost and Found Marches Melvin Boozer Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) Michelle Parkerson Music Nightlife Nob Hill Publications Religious facilities Restaurants Student groups Tracks Washington Blade https://archives.rainbowhistory.org/files/original/b26a6f9cdc31f739499563be60961dff.pdf 5916e8ee4fd73a6e2aea004f94a147ab Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In these audio clips, John Hannay recounts his journey working in LGBTQ+ spaces in the D.C. metro area. Hailing from Rochester, New York with an educational background in theological studies, Hannay began his career working with the Coalition for the Homeless at the onset of the AIDS epidemic. He then held the first position devoted solely to combatting the AIDS epidemic at the community staple Whitman Walker clinic, where he focused on building relationships between government-based public health structures and non-profit organizations, as well as educating the gay community and public health community about each other. He then worked for SMYAL (Supporting and Mentoring Youth Advocates and Leaders), serving as their first paid professional staff, where he focused on developing a volunteer core to run educational and support groups around health, mental health, and family and relationship issues. He then worked for the Maryland Department of Health’s AIDS program, focusing on developing educational programming to disseminate information about the AIDS virus to affected communities and the broader community. Following his time at the Maryland Department of Health, Hannay helped revive the Gay and Lesbian Community Center in Baltimore. He now works for the United States Department of Health and Human Services, where he continues to work on projects surrounding HIV and AIDS. While recounting his storied career, Hannay touches upon the influence of religion, family, and community in his life as both a professional and a gay man living through the AIDS epidemic. He interjects with anecdotes about other accomplishments in his storied career, always connecting them back to how it fits into the larger picture of the movement he was fighting for and the work he was doing. This 90-minute series of audio clips gives insight into one of LGBTQ D.C.’s pioneers during the turn of the 21st century. Description An account of the resource Interested in listening to this audio?

Executive Director of Capital Pride Alliance, Ryan Bos discusses his experiences concerning the attendance and planning of LGBTQ pride parades. Drawing inspiration from when he was a young boy attending music festivals in Indiana or when he competed in Washington DC’s LGBTQ sports leagues, Bos shows deep appreciation for the sense of community surrounding larger pride events. Joining Capital Pride in the early 2010s, Bos works with organizations such as InterPride, NERP (Northeastern Regional Prides) and POSE (Prides of the Southeast) to orchestrate large-scale pride parades. In this discussion, Bos also tackles issues such as the No Justice No Pride protest, the necessity to promote diverse voices in the community, and the question of whether ‘Pride’ itself is still needed in the present day.

Keith Clark provides us with a bit of narration of his early life in the DMV area, first arriving in Baltimore back in 83’ for an internship, and then shortly making way to DuPont Circle just two years later. The DC area is where Keith makes his permanent move as he expresses that the quality of people allowed for a most comfortable stay. When not working at the architecture firm, he spent a good deal of time making friends at the gym where the population of other gay men had been plentiful. Keith also expresses that DC had a way of making politics more interesting and enjoyable for him. Around this time is when the aid crisis began to take flame as well. Keith had lost many friends to such, and later would find that he had become infected himself. Depression has struck Keith many times. He feared his inevitable death, as well as the death of his friends/acquaintances. Nonetheless, Keith continued to volunteer, first with HRC, then participating in the aid walk, and many more events thereafter. Eventually there was a time when Keith started his own volunteer opportunities, and then he felt that he must consider things for himself. Kieth started “One in 10” and began to sell high-end clothing so that he could begin saving up enough to prepare for a time when working may not be much of a choice anymore due to his illness.

Title A name given to the resource Oral history interview with Chuck Goldfarb Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 6/21/2004 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource "Not to be used for commercial gain or financial profit without my written permission" Subject The topic of the resource 70s-00s Gay experience, SMYAL, interracial relationships Description An account of the resource Interested in listening to this audio? Email <a href="mailto:oralhistories@rainbowhistory.org">oralhistories@rainbowhistory.org</a> for access Abstract A summary of the resource. In part one, Chuck Goldfarb discusses his experiences as an openly gay federal worker in the 1970s and 1980s when there were regulations against homosexuals working in the government. Chuck also talks about the first gay pride and his experiences with the Gay Switchboard, Black and White Men Together, SMYAL, Asians and Friends, and the SHARE Project. Chuck was extremely involved in various community organizations. For the Gay Switchboard, he was a facilitator for several years. Chuck discusses a split within the Gay Switchboard group over the need for more formal training for the volunteers and the challenges with intersectionality at the Gay Switchboard. In the 1980s, Chuck became involved in Black and White Men Together (BWMT) around the same time when the discrimination response system had been put in place. Chuck discusses the people who were working at BWMT that he got to work with, such as Chris Bates, Jim Mercer, and Bruce Pennington. He briefly touches upon the tension that existed between the local and national association of BWMT in terms of how politically radical they were. Chuck describes the major changes happening to the gay community at the beginnings of the AIDS Epidemic and the resources available in the Washington D.C. area, such as Whitman Walker Clinic. He goes on to discuss how the Whitman Walker Clinic was pushed to be more open to Black people, since it was primarily serving white men. Chuck was also heavily involved with AIDS related research, specifically the SHARE Project out of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore MD which conducted essential AIDS epidemiological study with over a thousand participants. He discusses both his participation in the SHARE Project as well as his role on the Community Advisory Board reviewing and approving questionnaires. Overall, Chuck discusses building his career in Washington D.C. and getting involved in the gay community, including being involved with and serving in leadership positions at several local organizations. In part two, Chuck continues to discuss his work with local organizations, primarily focusing on SMYAL and Asians and Friends. He got involved with SMYAL through the founders Stefan Wade and Robert Hartman. SMYAL was formed to support sexual minority youth in response to criminalization and hospitalization of gender non-conforming youth. Chuck discusses the challenges with working with a youth advocacy organization, including concern over adults volunteering and homophobia. He discusses how from the beginning of SMYAL, leadership was cognizant of the need to have strict rules in place to protect the volunteers, the organization, and youth from abuse allegations. Chuck describes the demographics of the youth that SMYAL served and the various ways they tried to publicize SMYAL through school newspapers. He acknowledges that SMYAL, while successful in having a racially diverse youth audience, struggled with serving youth across social classes. Chuck emphasizes that the struggle of serving youth across social classes was not an issue limited to SMYAL, but an issue inherent in American society. In the 1990s, Chuck became involved with Asians and Friends. Unlike with other organizations, Chuck decided to only be involved with Asians and Friends as a member not as a leader within the organization. That was mainly due to the core function of Asians and Friends being social not political. When discussing Asians and Friends, Chuck draws connections between them and Black and White Men Together. Additionally, he describes a tension between interracial organizations and all Black or all Asian organizations. While some organizations wanted to work with all Black or all Asian organizations, there was also tension and some organizations did not want to work with them. In addition to discussing the organizations Chuck was involved with, he also describes an annual Halloween party he held for several years starting in the 1980s. He discusses doing drag for the first time, at the urging of his friend Phillip Wright, and costumes people would wear to his parties. While discussing drag and dressing up, he notes that it is a liberating experience and that his parties created spaces where people could express themselves. In part three, Chuck discusses his friendship with Simon Nkoli, an anti-apartheid and gay rights activist in South Africa. Chuck became friends with Simon through a tour he did with the National Association of Black and White Men Together. In the 1990s Chuck traveled to South Africa for the first time, where he was able to reconnect with Simon and attend the first AIDS awareness event in South Africa. Chuck discusses Simon’s activism in South Africa and when he came to the US. Throughout the years, Chuck and Simon maintained their friendship and visited each other in South Africa and the US. Chuck describes how Simon was always interested in coming to SMYAL when visiting DC and talking with youth. Finally, Chuck discusses his passion for working with local organizations because of the importance of community. 1970s 1980s 1990s Activism Advocacy groups Asians Badlands Baltimore MD Black Black and White Men Together (BWMT) Bruce Pennington Community Community centers D.C.

Spector, originally from Toms River, New Jersey, moved to DC in 1976 to attend American University. Although Spector was a self-described “straight girl” during her college years, she nonetheless enjoyed going out to LGBT clubs such as The Pier and The Clubhouse for the disco and funk music. During this time Spector also learned that her brother Stan was gay, and enjoyed spending time with him and his long-distance boyfriend when Stan would visit them in DC. After college, Spector began working at DC’s Channel Five. It was during this time that Spector was first introduced to the lesbian community by coworkers and friends, and began to realize her own attraction to women. Spector came out in 1983, and threw herself into the DC LGBT scene, spending her weekends partying and DJing at clubs such as The Phase, Hung Jury, Tracks, and The Other Side, and involving herself in lesbian groups such as The Gay Women’s Alternative and Roadwork. In 1984, Cheryl’s brother Stan was diagnosed with AIDS, and took his life a year later. Her brother’s death spurred Spector to become involved in queer and HIV/AIDS activism in DC, and in 1987 Spector joined the local planning committee for The Second National March on Washington for Gay and Lesbian Rights. After the march, Spector helped co-found OUT (“Oppression Under Target”), and subsequently participated in various actions around DC protesting anti-LGBT discrimination and demanding the government acknowledge the AIDS crisis. Spector later also became involved with the DC chapters of ACT UP and Queer Nation, and continued finding new and creative ways to protest the government’s inaction, spread awareness about safe sex, and criticize anti-LGBT legislation. Spector often used her public relations and media expertise to document and promote these actions.

Title A name given to the resource Jack Nichols Photographs and Papers : Digital Collection, 1955-2005 Description An account of the resource The Jack Nichols Digital Collection includes photographs and documents created by, about, or collected by Jack Nichols. The collection includes an unedited draft of his memoirs, which were never completed. Jack Nichols is a native of Chevy Chase, MD. Until he moved to New York City with his partner Lige Clarke in the late 1960s, Nichols was extensively involved in gay activism and gay life in Washington, DC. He was a founding member of the Mattachine Society of Washington (MSW), participated in MSW’s picketing at the White House, the Pentagon, Civil Service, and at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Nichols was an active participant in annual meetings of the East Coast Homophile Organizations (ECHO) and spoke from the podium on several occasions. In New York City, Nichols and Clarke founded, wrote for, and edited the early national newspaper Gay. Today he edits and writes for the online newspaper Gay Today (www.gaytoday.com) which is published by the Badpuppy website. He has generously contributed a wonderful album of photographs of his life in DC and elsewhere from which the following photographs are drawn. The Rainbow History Project (RHP) greatly appreciates Jack Nichols’ generosity in sharing these photographs and more with RHP. The photographs displayed here are the property and copyright of either Jack Nichols or the credited creators of the photos. They may not be used without permission.

Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre text. Text Any textual data included in the document. The Homosexual Citizen May, 1967, page 10 WJZ-TV Baltimore By Warren D. Adkins (pseudonym for Jack Nichols) A telephone call from producer Norman Ross took me to Baltimore on March 22 to appear on John Sterling’s 45-minute show “Contact.” Appearing with me was the Reverend Leroy Graham, Ph.D., chaplain of American University and a strongsupporter of civil liberties and social rights for homosexuals. During the preceding week, WJZ had flashed my picture on TV screens, with a caption reading “The Second Largest Minority” advertising the program at station breaks and promising to give Baltimore’s public its first glimpse of a live homosexual “associated with the Mattachine Society.” Questions from both the moderator and the TV audience revolved principally around the notion that homosexuality is a malfunction or illness. Both Dr. Graham and I vigorously countered such concepts, maintaining that homosexuality is probably being “caused” in the homosexual at the same time that heterosexuality is being “caused” in the heterosexual – and that the former is not due to pathological taint. Dr. Graham and I agreed with each other, supplementing and reinforcing our common viewpoint, namely, that homosexuals are not a priori sick, and deserve equal treatment as citizens of this free nation. The significance of this show lies in the fact that for the first time, a distinguished Methodist clergyman on the east Coast has publicly associated himself with the civil libertarian aims of the homophile movement and has made his views known to a wide television audience. After the completion of the show, the producer led us to his office where we both answered a great number of telephone calls from an interested TV audience.

Box# 13438 Baltimore, Maryland 21203 phone 235-HELP LEGAL ACTION COMMITTEE ACTIVITIES 1977 Delegate Bert Booth has announced that she will reintroduce her bill (last year's HB 1004) to ban anti-gay discrimination in employment by amending the Human Relations Code of Maryland, Article 49B. Last year, the bill was soundly defeated in the House Judiciary Committee after Maryland gay groups got off to a late start in their lobbying efforts. This year, work has begun earlier. Delegate Booth is working with BGA and law students at U. Md., among others, to prepare testimony and lobbying. The Legal Action Committee of BGA, in cooperation with local gay organizations, NGTF and GAA of D.C., is attempting to reach all areas of the state to organize letter-writing and personal lobbying. In addition, we are gathering evidence of discrimination and taking a survey of local employers to find their attitudes toward hiring gays. Support from local civic and professional groups has been solicited, and NOW will be helping to circulate literature. We have been fortunate in finding a contact person to distribute literature in Kent County, but we still need persons to write their representatives from the less urban sections of Maryland. There is also an urgent need for persons willing to testify in Annapolis about their own experiences with employment discrimination.
