Help Create Content Re WW I Centennial for Outhistory.Org H-Histsex Help create content re WW I Centennial for OutHistory.org Discussion published by Jonathan Ned Katz on Thursday, January 30, 2014 OutHistory.org, the website on LGBTQ history, would like several scholars to create or direct the creation of an entry or entries relating to the Centennial of World War I. That war started in Europe on July 28, 1914. The U.S. Congress voted to declare war on April 6, 1917. We’d like to publicly announce the entry online on July 1, 2014. The entry or entries can include whatever inspires the creators. Maybe one person would like to create an annotated bibliography of what research has been done about homoerotic relationships and WW I. Maybe another person would like to coordinate this content creation. The entries should include lots of great pictures.

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.

  • The Lavender Scare: Persecution of Lesbianism During the Cold War
    Western Illinois Historical Review © 2013 Vol. V, Spring 2013 ISSN 2153-1714 The Lavender Scare: Persecution of Lesbianism During the Cold War Jessica Toops The Cold War era of the 1950s is often connected with the “Red Scare” and the idea that the spread of communism must be stopped no matter the cost. People remember the persecution that those who were suspected of being affiliated with the Communist Party faced. What is often forgotten within textbooks is something that many refer to as the “Lavender Scare,” which was the fear that homosexuals had infiltrated the government and that they were spreading their influence throughout the United States. Persecution of female homosexuals was pervasive during this time. The Lavender Scare had detrimental effects on lesbians, such as the loss of jobs, military status, social status, and isolation from society. However, the attempts to rid American society of the “disease” of lesbianism, especially in the government, military, and entertainment industries, actually led to the establishment of a lesbian subculture, which was much stronger than it had ever been, and which would eventually be instrumental in the later movement for equal rights for homosexuals. That being said, the social isolation and discrimination experienced by all lesbian women often had severely detrimental effects on their mental and emotional health, so even if they were not directly persecuted by the Lavender Scare, they all suffered from its prejudice. In order to understand the perception of lesbianism in the fifties and its effect on lesbian women, it is important to understand opinions about lesbianism from earlier decades and how they evolved.

AS MUCH FOR YOUR SAKE is a play devised out of letters sent between gay men and queer people during the 20th Century as they document their experiences in life, loss, and love. The project developed out of Rictor Norton’s collection, My Dear Boy, which anthologizes hundreds of love letters written by real gay people across history from Marcus Aurelius to Tchaikovsky. These letters make up the entire text of the play. This type of work in which a performance is built out of found material is known as Verbatim Theatre and emphasizes selection and organization as an act of creative expression.
