Subject The topic of the resource Frank Blackburn, a long-time resident of Washington, D.C., recounts his arrival in the DC area, coming out, being a doctor during the AIDS crisis, and meeting his partner. Abstract A summary of the resource. 1960s-2010s Frank Blackburn was born in Jersey City, New Jersey but moved to the DC area when he enlisted in the Navy as a doctor. He discusses his divorce, coming out to his family, and the acceptance of his children. He eventually met his current partner and joined the social group Asians and Friends. Asians and Friends was one of the first gay support groups for Asian-Americans in the nation, yet the splits emerged over the inclusion of non-Asians in the group. All the while, his time as a doctor, both in the Navy and in private practice was marked by homophobia and trepidation. While the impact of the HIV/AIDS crisis did not hit his social group hard, he describes treating what he believes was the first AIDS case in the DC area. He bought a house in the Dupont area in 1986 with his partner and has lived there ever since. He describes LGBT places such as Mr. Ps, Badlands, Friends, Lost and Found, Tracks, JRs, Lambda Rising bookstore, and Whitman Walker Clinic. 1980s Bars and clubs Dupont Circle HIV/AIDS Nightlife Whitman-Walker Clinic https://archives.rainbowhistory.org/files/original/22322efe0a8c3a970a94df1e67249c78.pdf 848be35c6b456664125c183e8bcb7d97 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Jeff DiGregorio is a gay man from Arizona, where he resided along with his father who had taken up a career in the Air Force. In Jeff’s early 20s, he had taken up a career in architecture. He had originally been stationed in a department in Arizona but had received word of an opportunity in DC. Sadly, his carrer takes a turn when it is brough to his attention upon arrival that the department he wished to work for would not except him as the openly gay man his presented himself as. Jeff had been shocked by the way he had been treated because his gender identification had not been a problem at all back in Arizona. He grew concerned about how he would make a living. Eventually Jeff began making significant strides as far as aquainting himself with local gays and supporters of the LGBT community. While doing so he realized that it was time to stop trying to promote/help himself and start helping others who were like him. Jeff speaks to how Arlington Gay and Lesbian Alliance (AGLA) had opened his mind to many aspects of life/humanities, emphasizsing his appreciation for the transgender communtiy in particular as well.

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.

Nancy Tucker moved with her family to the DC metro area in the late 1950s when her father was hired at the Pentagon. In 1966, while a student at Mary Washington University, Tucker learned of The Mattachine Society of Washington from gay newspapers coming out from San Francisco. Upon turning twenty-one, Tucker applied for membership. At the time, the Mattachine Society preached concepts of civil libertarianism, in which homosexuals would receive their civil rights upon proving they were assimilated, upstanding citizens. However, the 1969 Stonewall riots (and the birth of the gay liberation movement) quickly began changing the face of gay activism in DC. During this time, The Mattachine Society of Washington asked Tucker if she would be the co-editor of a community newspaper for the DC gay community. Tucker agreed, and thus the famous Washington Blade was born. Tucker ran the Blade for several years–often as an entirely self-funded endeavor–and provided an invaluable resource to the DC gay community in the early 1970s. Although Tucker was involved in various activist groups during this time (often through her role as editor of the Blade), she found it difficult to find her place in these burgeoning movements, as she was uncomfortable with both the radical separatism of the women’s liberation movement as well as the misogyny of majority-male groups such as the Gay Liberation Front. By the mid-70s, Tucker handed off the Blade to others in the community, and left the world of gay activism. Tucker became re-involved in the DC gay community in the late 1980s via the Gay Women’s Alternative (where she eventually became president), and helped organize their programming around the wildly popular topics of “sex and shrinks.” In her later years, Tucker moved to San Francisco with her partner, and ultimately retired in Albuquerque. 1960s 1970s 1980s Academic organizations Activism Bars and clubs Blackmail Bookstores Cade Ware Community Dupont Circle Eva Freund Frank Kameny Furies Gay Activist Alliance (GAA) Gay Liberation Front Gay Women's Alternative (GWA) Jo-Anna's Johnnie's Mattachine Society Nightlife Plus One Protests Publications Stonewall Riots Virginia Washington Blade Washington D.C. https://archives.rainbowhistory.org/files/original/cda385aeeb4cf451274ee899fbdc2045.pdf b259bf171764744d1acd95879fdd62a7 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This oral history interview belongs to the Rainbow History Project Abstract A summary of the resource. Born in 1954 and moving from Chicago to DC after college, Patrick Crowley describes his life in DC in four ten year increments. Though initially excited to live out and proud, he reflects on his first ten years in DC as a time where he remained in the closet and struggled with alcoholism. Beginning the next ten year increment, Mr. Crowley briefly describes a series of revelations that led him to change course in his life and find community through DC’s gay AA network. Becoming known for finding speakers and putting together events, he identifies his third ten year phase as renovating the Congressional Cemetery in Capitol Hill. He describes his leadership on the board of the Cemetery and how he connected with the “Gay Ghetto” of gay men buried in the cemetery, including Leonard Matlovich and Frank Kameny. After finishing his time as Chair of the Cemetery’s board due to term limits, he briefly describes his fourth ten years as a time of career development and notes his involvement with the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop.

Audio 3 In this transcript, Peter Edwards discusses his involvement with the gay switchboard in the 1980s. The gay switchboard provided information and support to the LGBTQ+ community at a time when resources like the internet and smartphones did not exist.

The switchboard also focused on peer counseling, providing a safe space for people to talk about their feelings and struggles. Peter reflects on the importance of the switchboard in helping individuals who felt lost or isolated, as well as the impact it had on his own life as a gay man in Washington, D.C. Overall, the conversation highlights the vital role the gay switchboard played in the LGBTQ+ community during a time of limited resources and social acceptance. It provided a supportive and anonymous outlet for people to seek information, connection, and guidance. The transcript also underscores the shift in communication and support with the advent of the internet, while acknowledging the continued need for human connection and understanding in today's digital age.
