Pauline Park Clip 2: Victories
Collection: Queens Memory Collection at the Archives at Queens Library: Pauline Park
Description: One of the offshoots of NYAGRA was a short-term project Pauline conducted with Sheila Lambert (a noted activist) called the Coalition for Unity and Inclusion. The goal was to get all major organizations, to rename themselves LGBT. At the time in 2001, organizations were named ‘lesbian and gay’, or just ‘gay’. A number of organizations eventually endorsed the campaign. The Center's name was changed from the Lesbian and Gay Community Services Center, to the LGBT Community Center of NYC, which was a big deal. Some other prominent name changes included the New York LGBT Film Festival and the LGBT Pride March and Rally. The Gay and Lesbian Anti-Violence Project is now the Anti-Violence Project. In 2018, every organization calls itself LGBT or some version of that.
