We had a good time at the GLBT Historical Society in San Francisco socializing as well as touring the facilities. During October, the Steering Committee and we co-chairs discussed the two proposals which came to us for our endorsement: “Sleeping with the Enemy: Hate Collections in Catholic, Masonic, and LGBTQ Repositories,” and “Survey Says . : Motivations, Methodologies and Findings from Four Archival Repository Surveys.” Both proposals actively involve archivists from LGBT repositories, and we endorsed both of them; whether they will be accepted or not, time will show. Austin is a mere nine months away. Of note, SAA web site is now encouraging us to make our reservations at the hotel. What will perhaps surprise you more is our announcement now that it is time to begin putting together a proposal for Washington, D.C. for 2010. What?! If we begin now, we can have the proposals ready to wrap up by the annual meeting in Austin, rather than just beginning work on them.

This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/hp_theses/579 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Throwing Open the Door: Preserving Philadelphia's Gay Bathhouses Abstract In 2014 the National Park Service called for increased preservation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender places in the United States, thereby legitimizing LGBT history on a national level. This thesis is an extension of that appeal and undertakes a study of the preservation of gay bathhouses in an urban landscape. More specifically, it investigates the geographic and architectural significance of gay bathhouses between the early twentieth century and present day. Using the City of Philadelphia as a case study, the thesis explains the cultural and political trends that created the geography and history of the Philadelphia bathhouses. Utilizing quantitative and qualitative data, archival research, and an original survey, the thesis concludes that bathhouses are important to the landscape of gay neighborhoods and that their architecture highlights invaluable narratives of gay life in American history.

The gloves are off. The Rolling anger is fierce. In a somewhat obscure gay marriage case in California, the U.S. Department of Justice sub- mitted a brief June 11 that many LGBT activists Along are decrying as a betrayal of President Barack Obama’s promise to work to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). And yet a prominent, widely respected con- Queer stitutional law professor urges caution, arguing Bronzeville page 7 that the particular lawsuit that triggered this latest controversy is “extremely vulnerable” on a number of legal grounds. The case is Smelt v. U.S., one that has been brewing since 2004 and which gay legal activists openly criticized as premature and ill-conceived at the time. That criticism has not changed with the lawsuit’s new incarnation, filed last Decem- ber. What has changed is the president, his ap- pointees to the Department of Justice, and the Chaz expectation on the part of many in the LGBT To Become community that the Obama administration page 18 would mount only a perfunctory defense of a Man DOMA, given that President Obama has vowed to work to repeal the statute. But instead, the DOJ, under Obama appointee page 26 Tony West, an Assistant Attorney General, has filed a brief vigorously defending DOMA as a rea- sonable and necessary law.
