                <text>Eye-witness accounts of what we’ve seen and experienced provide a valuable resource to researchers and future generations to understand our past and how we arrived where we are today. &#13;
&#13;
Each interview in this collection has a narrator telling the story and a documenter guiding the process. &#13;
&#13;
Collected since the founding of the RHP, this collection is growing and is open to researchers. &#13;
&#13;
All interviews have been digitized and are described in the catalog; only some of them have transcripts available. &#13;
&#13;
None of the interviews stream online.  To obtain access to an interview, you must request by contacting us directly, providing a brief description of your project and your research interests.  Our email address is:  info AT rainbowhistory DOT org&#13;
&#13;
One of our team will share the file from our Google Drive, and you can listen from home.  Please be sure to have "Music Player for Google Drive" enabled on your machine to play the recording.  www.driveplayer.com&#13;

              <text>David Card moved to Washington, DC from New York in 2001 with his now-husband. He was involved in progressive politics, first working for Americans for Democratic Action, which counted Eleanor Roosevelt amongst its founding members. Later, he volunteered with and then worked for the Stonewall Democrats, and the John Kerry campaign. One of the people he worked with at Stonewall Democrats was Chrissy Gephardt, who is the daughter of Dick Gephardt, and who had come out as lesbian in 2001. Discussion also covered: the Democratic National Committee, DADT, Queer as Folk, Barney Frank, Stonewall Sports, Casa Ruby, MOVA, the 1968 riots, the National Disability Rights Network, the National LGBT Task Force, and the Human Rights Campaign.  </text>
