Gay And Lesbian Washington, D.c.

From the planner of the city on the Potomac River, to generations of gay women who fought for the ratification of the 19th Amendment, through the 1980s when people covered the Mall with a quilt to finally hear politicians utter the word AIDS, Washington, D.C., has a place in the identity of gay and lesbian America, which continues even now in the fight for marriages equal under the law and in the heart.
