Laurie A. Jinkins papers, 1984-1999.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/166428619

Records of WCF/HOW and related organizations showing the development and carrying out of various strategies designed to prevent anti-GLBT (gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, and transgender) individuals and organizations from promoting anti-discriminatory agendas in Washington, including executive and board meeting minutes and agendas, background materials, and director's reports; papers (1993-1996) of local councils, providing a good picture of WCF/HOW statewide policy being carried out at the local level; materials relating to the anti-gay political attacks organized by Lon Mabon and the Citizens Alliance of Washington and his earlier efforts in Oregon; minutes, agendas, and other records of City of Tacoma's Hate Crimes Task Force; Committee to Protect Tacoma Human Rights; Pierce County AIDS Foundation; and the state of Washington's Dept. Of Social and Health Services' Task Force on Gay and Lesbian Concerns; YMCA materials, including correspondence, minutes, and committee files (1992-1997); and records reflecting Jinkins's affiliation with Washington Women Lawyers groups, both statewide and with the Pierce County Chapter. Also includes files (conference and workshop reports, directories, bibliographies, newsletters, photographs, and concert and theater programs) kept by Jinkins regarding various topics in which she was interested such as human rights, hate crimes, and GLBT community issues. Collection provides a good insight into the anti-gay movement in Washington during the 1990s and the people and organizations that rallied together statewide to counter that threat through community awareness programs and political action.
