Tucked into a small, windowless building in a Downtown alley is surely Indianapolis' least-known cultural attraction.
It's the equivalent of the local gay community's attic, a quirky, pint-sized Smithsonian containing four decades of odds and ends: long-defunct gay magazines, videotapes of long-ago drag shows, photo albums and books with gay themes -- gay westerns, gay science fiction, gay history, gay medical books, biographies of Roy Cohn, Rock Hudson, Noel Coward.
The Chris Gonzalez Library & Archives, named for a gay activist who died in the 1990s, was conceived 15 years ago but so far has generated little buzz. Recently, only 20 of its approximately 5,600 items were checked out.
The facility is open only on weekends because its one staffer, Michael Bohr, has a paying job during the week.
