L.A. Gay Community Services Center, 1996
Scope and Content
The Organizations, Events, and Topics Series consists primarily of fliers along with agendas, meeting notes, and correspondence. The best documented organizations include Aid for AIDS; First Tuesday, a moving collaborative space to coordinate Los Angeles lesbian and gay events; and the Los Angeles Commission on Human Relations. The series also contains topical files for the Human Right Coalition and Police Commission / Review Board files, which document a number of precursor organizations. The California and Los Angeles and the Progressive Organizations files consist of scarcely documented organizations. The final topical file, Radio and Television, documents the media's stereotypical portrayal of gays and lesbians and the communities reaction to the Marcus Welby episode, "Outrage" (1974, ABC); America's Secret Shame (1977, KHJ); Gay Power, Gay Politics (1980, CBS) and other broadcasts. Aside from Morris Kight Press Releases & Memorandums files, the remaining folders document events and organizations.
