The Rainbow History Project partnered with LC-GLOBE to present the lunchtime panel “Lost Lesbian Spaces” at the Library Congress. The panel addressed the swift disappearance of local lesbian spaces, such as bookstores and bars, since the 1980s. Dr. Bonnie Morris traced the history of the changing cultural landscape through images, while Denise Bump shared her perspective as former owner of the now-closed local women’s bookstore Lammas. In a Q&A session, members of the audience contributed their own thoughts, as well as memories of the “lost lesbian spaces." LISTEN ONLINE Part 1 of 1 (from Drive) Part 1 of 1 (Streaming Version)

National Gay Task Force
Members of the National Gay Task Force gather with politicians at a press conference in the Rayburn House Office Building announcing the introduction of the Civil Rights Amendment of 1975, H.R. 5452. This would have added "affectional or sexual preference" to the list of classes protected by the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

1982-2015 (bulk 2005-2015) Anne Q. Scott was born outside of Boston, MA, on January 29, 1982. In this Rainbow History Project (RHP) oral history Scott briefly discusses her background and life at Mount Holyoke College before graduation and relocation to the Washington, DC area (Alexandria, VA) in 2004. Scott discusses her interests in moving to the District and her introduction to the city and its gay community. The largest part of the interview involves Scott’s involvement (2005-2012) in Capital Pride and the different entities that managed the annual LGBT pride festival. She documents the transition period (2007-2009) of Capital Pride management from the Whitman-Walker Clinic (clinic) to the Capital Pride Alliance (Alliance). As a founding member of the Alliance, Anne discusses the clinic’s Capital Pride Request for Proposal (RFP) process and her expertise in non-profit finance. Scott explains the Alliance’s transition from RFP candidate to Capital Pride steward and subsequent years of the festival. Scott closes the oral history reflecting on changes in the city and the gay community during her years in the District.
