                <text>Since 2001, the Rainbow History Project hosts public panels and group discussions on a wide variety of historical topics. Each of these sessions is recorded and available to researchers and members of the community. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some events were filmed and are available through the &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxBpdDGhR6XmUFVoEGLLeOA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;RHP YouTube Channel&lt;/a&gt;. Others are in audio-only format. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All panels have been digitized and are described in the catalog; only some of them have transcripts available. If the recording does not stream from inside the record, please contact RHP for assistance: info@rainbowhistory.org</text>

              <text>In 1981, the DC City Council passed a sodomy repeal measure as part of the Sexual Assault Reform Bill. Like all measures passed by the Council, the bill went to Congress for approval. The religious right, led by the Moral Majority,  lobbied against the bill and persuaded Congress to reject it.  Since then, sodomy repeal measures have been introduced into the Council, but they have remained bottled up in the Judiciary Committee. Gay activists convinced Councilmember Jack Evans to circumvent the Judiciary Committee and attach the measure to an unrelated bill. </text>
