<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span
style='color:windowtext'>It's been said, “Gays have a past but no history.” <i>Swimming
with Lesbians</i> explores an upstate New York community’s efforts to create an
LGBT historic archive, led by the extraordinary Madeline Davis. <br>
<br>
Davis is more than the keeper of Buffalo’s archive. In addition to writing and
recording the song “Stonewall Nation,” produced by the Mattachine Society, she
was the first openly lesbian elected delegate to speak at the Democratic
National Convention, she taught the first course on lesbianism ever offered at
a major American university, and she co-authored a seminal history of blue
collar lesbian life, <i>Boots of Leather, Slippers of Gold</i>. <br>
<br>
The work of Davis and her community highlight the movement to pull gay rights
out of urban gay meccas and onto Main Streets in small towns. Davis’s own story
is surrounded by the stories of five unique Buffalo residents who have suffered
and continue to suffer homophobia and transphobia in this blue collar city. <br>
<br>
Davis poignantly summarizes her motivations for starting the archive as she
says, “We are ephemeral. We will be gone. This is for the ages.” She is
determined to see this archive installed in a library or university in Buffalo
but continues to struggle with the straight gatekeepers who hold the key to
preserving her life’s work.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
