Papers compiled by Nichols and Constans concerning gay rights and gay activism in Madison, Wisconsin and nationally. Included are partial records of the Madison Committee for Gay Rights, for which Nichols served as coordinator, such as correspondence, statements and platform proposals; a questionnaire, responses, and list of endorsed candidates for a local 1978 election; and a few financial records of the associated Gay Activists Alliance. Both Nichols and Constans were on the staff of MCGR's newsletter, “The Gay Endeavor,” which published only one issue. There are partial records present from both the national and local committees which promoted the National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights, October 14, 1979. Other local gay rights organizations are also represented by fragmentary files of newsletters, leaflets, and press releases; these include Gay Renaissance of Madison and Lesbian Communication Collective (publisher of “We Got It” newsletter). Newsclippings are primarily from Madison newspapers, and concern local human and gay rights activities, as well as threats to gay rights and homosexuals. English
