Scope and content:

Correspondence, printed materials, organization files, notes, recorded interviews, and photographs related to Sears' planned volume on gay history focusing on "Gen X" lesbians, gays, and transgender individuals born in the 1970s and 1980s. Printed materials include clippings, newspapers, flyers, and articles. Topics with significant amounts of material in these research files include gay youth and AIDS, same-sex sexual harassment, and gay communities in Florida. One set of files follows the case of Pedro Zamora, gay activist who died of AIDS at age 22, especially focusing on media coverage of his life and death; another set of research materials documents the "Enloe Six" case in N.C., and includes original correspondence with one of the young men involved in the case. Material has not been published. Finally, there are three videos: one covering the memorial service for Zamora, another about the media coverage of the "Enloe Six." A third contains unknown material, possibly on AIDS as presented through Hollywood productions. Arranged in original order as received.
