Yolanda Santiago is a Latina lesbian activist and the former president of ENLACE, an organization dedicated to supporting LGBT+ Latinos. In this interview, she reflects on her dual identity as both Latina and lesbian, and the ways that intersection shaped her experiences within the predominantly white LGBT+ community. She explains how the struggles and priorities of Latino LGBT+ people, such as immigration status, economic survival, and culturally rooted definitions of family, often differed significantly from those of white LGBT+ individuals. In this interview, she also discusses her leadership within ENLACE, including organizing community dances as acts of political power designed to demonstrate collective strength and demand recognition from both mainstream Latino institutions and the broader LGBTQ+ community. Under her guidance, ENLACE established critical services such as a national Latino gay and lesbian hotline and HIV/AIDS outreach programs. Santiago further reflects on the Mount Pleasant riots and the community response to the murder of Anna Marie Rosario, situating these events within broader struggles for justice and visibility. 1980s 1990s Advocacy groups Communication systems Community Dances Discrimination ENLACE Gay Pride HIV/AIDS Intersectionality Latine Lesbians Police Protests Racism Washington Blade Washington D.C.

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.

His parents are Filipino (father) and Russian Jewish (mother); he was raised Catholic and practices some Judaism and also Buddhism. In 1970, during his senior year in high school, he gave a speech on gay rights and came out to his class and wrote “Legalize Homosexuality” on the chalkboard. He briefly studied dentistry in the Philippines (to avoid the Vietnam War draft), and returned to DC in 1972 to attend the University of Maryland College Park. He became active in the Gay Student Alliance and coordinated to bring Frank Kameny and Craig Howell, the then-president of the Gay Activists Alliance, to speak at UMD. He joined their efforts and traveled to New York for the 1976 Gay Pride March. He volunteered at the Gay Men’s VD Clinic on Wisconsin Avenue where he met Leonard Matlovich, the ex-military activist and a fellow volunteer. He was also active in Bet Mishpachah, a group for gay Jews. In 1980 he began a relationship with Robert Coggin and helped form the Suburban Maryland Gay and Lesbian Alliance. They worked together to pass the 1984 Montgomery County ordinance to prohibit discrimination on the grounds of sexuality; they also assisted with other counties and statewide efforts. Both Crisostomo and Coggin became active in the Couples Support Group, a social and support network for gay men in committed relationships. Together they marched in the 1988 Gay Pride parade, and their photograph appeared on the front of the Washington Post’s Metro Section (June 22, 1988). He volunteered with the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt. He then joined ENLACE and was recording secretary. After the November 1990 murder of Ana Maria Rosales, the Walk Without Fear annual marches took place; he spoke at the peace vigil about violence against Asians as both a representative of ENLACE and the Gay Asian Pacific Islander Network (GAPIN). In conjunction with the 1993 March on Washington, he organized the first national conference for Gay Asians to coincide with the march. He coordinated many groups from across the country to participate; it included a special forum for gay Asian women. GAPIN had a banner created for the march and Crisostomo inherited the banner when the previous leader left the group. They marched in the Stonewall 25 March in New York in 1994, and used the banner at other events. There was conflict with the Asians and Friends group surrounding the Asians-only focus of GAPIN and the non-exclusive nature of AF. In 1995 he relocated to San Francisco, where he was active in gay community affairs, especially AIDS activism and Asian support networks. In 2013 he moved to Albuquerque. 1970s 1980s 1990s Academic organizations Asian Pacific Islander (API) Asians Community centers ENLACE Gay and Lesbian Activists Alliance (GLAA) Gay men Jewish Latine Maryland Religious facilities Student groups Suburban Maryland Lesbian/Gay Alliance (SMLGA) Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Shi moved to Washington in 1986 to start work. Not yet fully out of the closet, he secured brief relationships through The Washington Blade and frequented many gay bars and restaurants in Dupont Circle, where he often felt invisible. He sought out company from other Asians and eventually helped found and manage the social group 'Asians and Friends' even running their newsletter and marching with the group in early Pride parades. He experienced a lack of community among gay Latins but found a home in the Asian community despite tensions over Asian fetishes and emasculation. He and a partner bought a house between Dupont and Logan circle in 1986 and has lived there ever since, noting the changes in the neighborhood, which he borders with P St and 16th St NW. The rest of the family remains in the El Salvador with varying levels of acceptance of his sexual orientation and marriage to a long-term partner. He talks about 'de-gaying' the house when his relatives came to visit, until eventually coming out.

Email <a href="mailto:oralhistories@rainbowhistory.org">oralhistories@rainbowhistory.org</a> for access Abstract A summary of the resource. Earl Fowles moved to Washington DC from New York in 1996 for a position in Damien Ministries and at the encouragement of his friends in DC. His friend, Christopher Bates, connected him to several people and organizations that he became involved in, such as the DC Care Coalition where he served as a board member. He succeeded Carlene Cheatam as president of DC Capital Pride in 1997. He remained in that role for three years. He then became president of the National Federation of Black Prides (the predecessor of today’s International Federation of Black Prides). Upon leaving that role, he served as co-chair of the Community Prevention Group, an advisory body for DC’s Agency for HIV/AIDS (AHA). In that role, he advised AHA on how to spend monies provided by the CDC for the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS. Fowlkes preferred “behind the scenes” activism; continuing dialogue and managing follow-up activities long past marches, demonstrations, and events. Key events that he did attend include the AIDS Memorial Quilt display on the National Mall in 1992 and 1996, the latter in which he participated by reading a selection of names of those represented in the quilt. Other topics covered include: His work of getting DC’s Pride organizations with similar missions to talk to each other and learn from each other; The importance of patience in nonprofit work and how progress is propelled by a small committed group of activists; DC institutional culture and how to make career civil servants in hospitals, prisons, police, and other community services care about LGBT issues; His personal life, including where he goes to socialize in DC and Atlanta; and the inception of a DC-area archive for saving items from the prides and other LGBTQ+ activism, and archivists interested in volunteering. 1980s 1990s Advocacy groups AIDS remembrance Arlington VA Asian Pacific Islander (API) Bachelor's Mill Bars and clubs Black Capital Pride Gay men HIV/AIDS JRs Latine Marches Medical facilities Nightlife Pride Publications Restaurants Transgender people Valerie Papaya Mann Washington Blade Washington D.C.

Metropolitan Area Latino Lesbian and Gay Coalition Records : Digital Collection, 1991-1993 Collection #14 Description An account of the resource The 1987 March on Washington brought Latino lesbians and gays together from around the country and inspired new local, regional, and national organizations. ENLACE: Washington, DC Metropolitan Area Latino Gay & Lesbian Coalition, DC's first political support organization for Latino gay men and Latina lesbians, had just been formed and the March gave it the impetus to grow as a force in the local community. Some of those who had come to Washington for the March stayed on in the city and helped organize ENLACE: Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area Latino Gay & Lesbian Coalition. Until 1987, Latinos had no special voice to speak for them as Latinos in the LGBT community and as gays and lesbians in the Latino community. Over the next eight years ENLACE spoke, acted, and created new standards in political and social representation of its members and in educating its community about HIV/AIDS. ENLACE members were the first gay men and lesbians to march in the city's annual Hispanic parade. They created HOLA GAY, the first Spanish language hotline. "Un grupo de apoyo para latinos gay ofrece la oportunidad para los que buscan discutir las preocupaciones que tenemos en comun incluyendo el SIDA, la familia, el auto-estima, las relaciones personales y la identidad gay. Juntos podemos trabajar para encontar soluciones saludables con la asistencia de un moderador entrenado." A peer support group allows gay Latinos to come together to discuss common issues of AIDS/HIV, family relationships, identity and self-esteem. Together, with the help of trained facilitators, we can find healthy solutions. ENLACE defined itself as a political organization but it used social events to identify Latino gays and lesbians and to deliver its message of support. In April 1988, ENLACE introduced itself to the community with a reception at the Office of Latino Affairs. From the outset, ENLACE (the word means "link") built coalitions and links to other organizations in both the gay and lesbian community and the Latino community. In the wake of disturbances in the Mount Pleasant area, ENLACE presented its own analysis and recommendations to the commission investigating the events. One of ENLACE's major contributions, of course, was its ground-breaking work in AIDS awareness and HIV education. With the DC Coalition of Black Lesbians, Gays, and Bisexuals, ENLACE sponsored social events. It worked with the Latin American Task Force, the Whitman-Walker Clinic, and other social, political, and health organizations to ensure recognition and satisfaction of Latino gays and lesbians' needs. ENLACE held its first social event, La Fiesta Tropical, at the popular straight disco Cities. Despite a slow start, the evening ended with a room packed with Latino men and women who learned for the first time of ENLACE's work. La Fiesta Tropical became an annual event. The group sponsored dances at Hill Haven, a lesbian club on Capitol Hill, at hotels in the Dupont area, and supported early Latino clubs such as El Faro. Noticias de Enlace, a monthly newsletter, chronicled much of ENLACE's organizational, political, and social development and is a primary source for ENLACE's activities and for insights into the concerns of Washington, D.C.'s Latino gay and lesbian population. The Rainbow History Project, through the kindness of former members of ENLACE presents many issues of the Noticias and event flyers (in .pdf format). Unfortunately, the file size of Noticias issues has meant that we have had to offer some of them page by page, rather than in their entirety. Also below are event flyers for ENLACE's social activities, as well as the group's report on the Mount Pleasant incidents.

Metropolitan Area Latino Lesbian and Gay Coalition Records : Digital Collection, 1991-1993 Collection #14 Description An account of the resource The 1987 March on Washington brought Latino lesbians and gays together from around the country and inspired new local, regional, and national organizations. ENLACE: Washington, DC Metropolitan Area Latino Gay & Lesbian Coalition, DC's first political support organization for Latino gay men and Latina lesbians, had just been formed and the March gave it the impetus to grow as a force in the local community. Some of those who had come to Washington for the March stayed on in the city and helped organize ENLACE: Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area Latino Gay & Lesbian Coalition. Until 1987, Latinos had no special voice to speak for them as Latinos in the LGBT community and as gays and lesbians in the Latino community. Over the next eight years ENLACE spoke, acted, and created new standards in political and social representation of its members and in educating its community about HIV/AIDS. ENLACE members were the first gay men and lesbians to march in the city's annual Hispanic parade. They created HOLA GAY, the first Spanish language hotline. "Un grupo de apoyo para latinos gay ofrece la oportunidad para los que buscan discutir las preocupaciones que tenemos en comun incluyendo el SIDA, la familia, el auto-estima, las relaciones personales y la identidad gay. Juntos podemos trabajar para encontar soluciones saludables con la asistencia de un moderador entrenado." A peer support group allows gay Latinos to come together to discuss common issues of AIDS/HIV, family relationships, identity and self-esteem. Together, with the help of trained facilitators, we can find healthy solutions. ENLACE defined itself as a political organization but it used social events to identify Latino gays and lesbians and to deliver its message of support. In April 1988, ENLACE introduced itself to the community with a reception at the Office of Latino Affairs. From the outset, ENLACE (the word means "link") built coalitions and links to other organizations in both the gay and lesbian community and the Latino community. In the wake of disturbances in the Mount Pleasant area, ENLACE presented its own analysis and recommendations to the commission investigating the events. One of ENLACE's major contributions, of course, was its ground-breaking work in AIDS awareness and HIV education. With the DC Coalition of Black Lesbians, Gays, and Bisexuals, ENLACE sponsored social events. It worked with the Latin American Task Force, the Whitman-Walker Clinic, and other social, political, and health organizations to ensure recognition and satisfaction of Latino gays and lesbians' needs. ENLACE held its first social event, La Fiesta Tropical, at the popular straight disco Cities. Despite a slow start, the evening ended with a room packed with Latino men and women who learned for the first time of ENLACE's work. La Fiesta Tropical became an annual event. The group sponsored dances at Hill Haven, a lesbian club on Capitol Hill, at hotels in the Dupont area, and supported early Latino clubs such as El Faro. Noticias de Enlace, a monthly newsletter, chronicled much of ENLACE's organizational, political, and social development and is a primary source for ENLACE's activities and for insights into the concerns of Washington, D.C.'s Latino gay and lesbian population. The Rainbow History Project, through the kindness of former members of ENLACE presents many issues of the Noticias and event flyers (in .pdf format). Unfortunately, the file size of Noticias issues has meant that we have had to offer some of them page by page, rather than in their entirety. Also below are event flyers for ENLACE's social activities, as well as the group's report on the Mount Pleasant incidents.

Metropolitan Area Latino Lesbian and Gay Coalition Records : Digital Collection, 1991-1993 Collection #14 Description An account of the resource The 1987 March on Washington brought Latino lesbians and gays together from around the country and inspired new local, regional, and national organizations. ENLACE: Washington, DC Metropolitan Area Latino Gay & Lesbian Coalition, DC's first political support organization for Latino gay men and Latina lesbians, had just been formed and the March gave it the impetus to grow as a force in the local community. Some of those who had come to Washington for the March stayed on in the city and helped organize ENLACE: Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area Latino Gay & Lesbian Coalition. Until 1987, Latinos had no special voice to speak for them as Latinos in the LGBT community and as gays and lesbians in the Latino community. Over the next eight years ENLACE spoke, acted, and created new standards in political and social representation of its members and in educating its community about HIV/AIDS. ENLACE members were the first gay men and lesbians to march in the city's annual Hispanic parade. They created HOLA GAY, the first Spanish language hotline. "Un grupo de apoyo para latinos gay ofrece la oportunidad para los que buscan discutir las preocupaciones que tenemos en comun incluyendo el SIDA, la familia, el auto-estima, las relaciones personales y la identidad gay. Juntos podemos trabajar para encontar soluciones saludables con la asistencia de un moderador entrenado." A peer support group allows gay Latinos to come together to discuss common issues of AIDS/HIV, family relationships, identity and self-esteem. Together, with the help of trained facilitators, we can find healthy solutions. ENLACE defined itself as a political organization but it used social events to identify Latino gays and lesbians and to deliver its message of support. In April 1988, ENLACE introduced itself to the community with a reception at the Office of Latino Affairs. From the outset, ENLACE (the word means "link") built coalitions and links to other organizations in both the gay and lesbian community and the Latino community. In the wake of disturbances in the Mount Pleasant area, ENLACE presented its own analysis and recommendations to the commission investigating the events. One of ENLACE's major contributions, of course, was its ground-breaking work in AIDS awareness and HIV education. With the DC Coalition of Black Lesbians, Gays, and Bisexuals, ENLACE sponsored social events. It worked with the Latin American Task Force, the Whitman-Walker Clinic, and other social, political, and health organizations to ensure recognition and satisfaction of Latino gays and lesbians' needs. ENLACE held its first social event, La Fiesta Tropical, at the popular straight disco Cities. Despite a slow start, the evening ended with a room packed with Latino men and women who learned for the first time of ENLACE's work. La Fiesta Tropical became an annual event. The group sponsored dances at Hill Haven, a lesbian club on Capitol Hill, at hotels in the Dupont area, and supported early Latino clubs such as El Faro. Noticias de Enlace, a monthly newsletter, chronicled much of ENLACE's organizational, political, and social development and is a primary source for ENLACE's activities and for insights into the concerns of Washington, D.C.'s Latino gay and lesbian population. The Rainbow History Project, through the kindness of former members of ENLACE presents many issues of the Noticias and event flyers (in .pdf format). Unfortunately, the file size of Noticias issues has meant that we have had to offer some of them page by page, rather than in their entirety. Also below are event flyers for ENLACE's social activities, as well as the group's report on the Mount Pleasant incidents.

The distinction between titles and alternative titles is application-specific. ENLACE Collection Enlace ENLACE : Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area Latino Lesbian and Gay Coalition Records : Digital Collection, 1991-1993 Collection #14 Description An account of the resource The 1987 March on Washington brought Latino lesbians and gays together from around the country and inspired new local, regional, and national organizations. ENLACE: Washington, DC Metropolitan Area Latino Gay & Lesbian Coalition, DC's first political support organization for Latino gay men and Latina lesbians, had just been formed and the March gave it the impetus to grow as a force in the local community. Some of those who had come to Washington for the March stayed on in the city and helped organize ENLACE: Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area Latino Gay & Lesbian Coalition. Until 1987, Latinos had no special voice to speak for them as Latinos in the LGBT community and as gays and lesbians in the Latino community. Over the next eight years ENLACE spoke, acted, and created new standards in political and social representation of its members and in educating its community about HIV/AIDS. ENLACE members were the first gay men and lesbians to march in the city's annual Hispanic parade. They created HOLA GAY, the first Spanish language hotline. "Un grupo de apoyo para latinos gay ofrece la oportunidad para los que buscan discutir las preocupaciones que tenemos en comun incluyendo el SIDA, la familia, el auto-estima, las relaciones personales y la identidad gay. Juntos podemos trabajar para encontar soluciones saludables con la asistencia de un moderador entrenado." A peer support group allows gay Latinos to come together to discuss common issues of AIDS/HIV, family relationships, identity and self-esteem. Together, with the help of trained facilitators, we can find healthy solutions. ENLACE defined itself as a political organization but it used social events to identify Latino gays and lesbians and to deliver its message of support. In April 1988, ENLACE introduced itself to the community with a reception at the Office of Latino Affairs. From the outset, ENLACE (the word means "link") built coalitions and links to other organizations in both the gay and lesbian community and the Latino community. In the wake of disturbances in the Mount Pleasant area, ENLACE presented its own analysis and recommendations to the commission investigating the events. One of ENLACE's major contributions, of course, was its ground-breaking work in AIDS awareness and HIV education. With the DC Coalition of Black Lesbians, Gays, and Bisexuals, ENLACE sponsored social events. It worked with the Latin American Task Force, the Whitman-Walker Clinic, and other social, political, and health organizations to ensure recognition and satisfaction of Latino gays and lesbians' needs. ENLACE held its first social event, La Fiesta Tropical, at the popular straight disco Cities. Despite a slow start, the evening ended with a room packed with Latino men and women who learned for the first time of ENLACE's work. La Fiesta Tropical became an annual event. The group sponsored dances at Hill Haven, a lesbian club on Capitol Hill, at hotels in the Dupont area, and supported early Latino clubs such as El Faro. Noticias de Enlace, a monthly newsletter, chronicled much of ENLACE's organizational, political, and social development and is a primary source for ENLACE's activities and for insights into the concerns of Washington, D.C.'s Latino gay and lesbian population. The Rainbow History Project, through the kindness of former members of ENLACE presents many issues of the Noticias and event flyers (in .pdf format). Unfortunately, the file size of Noticias issues has meant that we have had to offer some of them page by page, rather than in their entirety. Also below are event flyers for ENLACE's social activities, as well as the group's report on the Mount Pleasant incidents.

Metropolitan Area Latino Lesbian and Gay Coalition Records : Digital Collection, 1991-1993 Collection #14 Description An account of the resource The 1987 March on Washington brought Latino lesbians and gays together from around the country and inspired new local, regional, and national organizations. ENLACE: Washington, DC Metropolitan Area Latino Gay & Lesbian Coalition, DC's first political support organization for Latino gay men and Latina lesbians, had just been formed and the March gave it the impetus to grow as a force in the local community. Some of those who had come to Washington for the March stayed on in the city and helped organize ENLACE: Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area Latino Gay & Lesbian Coalition. Until 1987, Latinos had no special voice to speak for them as Latinos in the LGBT community and as gays and lesbians in the Latino community. Over the next eight years ENLACE spoke, acted, and created new standards in political and social representation of its members and in educating its community about HIV/AIDS. ENLACE members were the first gay men and lesbians to march in the city's annual Hispanic parade. They created HOLA GAY, the first Spanish language hotline. "Un grupo de apoyo para latinos gay ofrece la oportunidad para los que buscan discutir las preocupaciones que tenemos en comun incluyendo el SIDA, la familia, el auto-estima, las relaciones personales y la identidad gay. Juntos podemos trabajar para encontar soluciones saludables con la asistencia de un moderador entrenado." A peer support group allows gay Latinos to come together to discuss common issues of AIDS/HIV, family relationships, identity and self-esteem. Together, with the help of trained facilitators, we can find healthy solutions. ENLACE defined itself as a political organization but it used social events to identify Latino gays and lesbians and to deliver its message of support. In April 1988, ENLACE introduced itself to the community with a reception at the Office of Latino Affairs. From the outset, ENLACE (the word means "link") built coalitions and links to other organizations in both the gay and lesbian community and the Latino community. In the wake of disturbances in the Mount Pleasant area, ENLACE presented its own analysis and recommendations to the commission investigating the events. One of ENLACE's major contributions, of course, was its ground-breaking work in AIDS awareness and HIV education. With the DC Coalition of Black Lesbians, Gays, and Bisexuals, ENLACE sponsored social events. It worked with the Latin American Task Force, the Whitman-Walker Clinic, and other social, political, and health organizations to ensure recognition and satisfaction of Latino gays and lesbians' needs. ENLACE held its first social event, La Fiesta Tropical, at the popular straight disco Cities. Despite a slow start, the evening ended with a room packed with Latino men and women who learned for the first time of ENLACE's work. La Fiesta Tropical became an annual event. The group sponsored dances at Hill Haven, a lesbian club on Capitol Hill, at hotels in the Dupont area, and supported early Latino clubs such as El Faro. Noticias de Enlace, a monthly newsletter, chronicled much of ENLACE's organizational, political, and social development and is a primary source for ENLACE's activities and for insights into the concerns of Washington, D.C.'s Latino gay and lesbian population. The Rainbow History Project, through the kindness of former members of ENLACE presents many issues of the Noticias and event flyers (in .pdf format). Unfortunately, the file size of Noticias issues has meant that we have had to offer some of them page by page, rather than in their entirety. Also below are event flyers for ENLACE's social activities, as well as the group's report on the Mount Pleasant incidents.
