She went to University of Hawaii for her undergraduate degree in Political Science, graduating in 1968, and got her Master of Science in Social Work from University of Tennessee, Knoxville. ","She came to Richmond in 1979 where she briefly worked at the child welfare office and then got involved in Richmond Lesbian Feminists (RLF) and NOW (National Organization for Women). It was at a RLF party that she met the woman, Betty, who, as Mary Gay states, brought her out as a lesbian in her forties, leading to ending her marriage with her husband at the time. It was feminist organizing and NOW where most of her activism started, specifically around ERA-related activism. Her big contribution to RLF was that she gathered a group of about twenty-five RLF members, and began a potluck dinner every month, called First Friday Potluck. Sometimes attendance reached as high as 100 people, and First Friday Potlucks were hosted at Mary Gay's house for about 10-15 years.","Mary Gay was also involved in Richmond WomensBooks, a book co-op downstairs from a food co-op. She did work hours and was on the board. The board received a letter from Olivia Records, whose records were sold at the co-op. They were starting to do cruises geared towards, as their site says now in 2026, \"lesbians and LGBTQ+ women\". Olivia Cruises wanted someone to throw a party to introduce the women in the Richmond area to the concept of Olivia Cruises. Mary Gay organized the party at The Pyramid, and for doing the party, she got a two-for-one cruise. She later worked with Olivia Cruises as a solo coordinator on a cruise. ","In her time in Richmond, Mary Gay Hutcherson organized golf tournaments for CampOut (formerly InTouch). CampOut is a members-only, private campground for women and home of the Virginia Women's Music Festival. CampOut was started by a couple of friends of Mary Gay on land halfway between Charlottesville and Richmond. The friends had investors and purchased the property, and many people helped build the stage for music festivals.

CampOut was started by a couple of friends of Mary Gay on land halfway between Charlottesville and Richmond. The friends had investors and purchased the property, and many people helped build the stage for music festivals. The golf tournaments were for lesbians and held at different golf courses in Richmond, partly as a fundraiser, but more as public relations for people who were not interested in camping at InTouch. It was at these golf tournaments that she met the developers of Carefree, Gina Razete and Cathy Groene. Carefree Resort is a retirement community that caters to lesbians, located in North Fort Myers Florida.  Carefree broke ground in 1996 and opened in 1997. They flew Mary Gay down to see it, because, in Mary Gay's words, she \"talked to so many women\", and to perform duties as the Olivia Cruises coordinator, such as at information booths for Olivia Cruises.","Mary Gay's community building extended beyond RLF, NOW, Richmond WomensBooks, Olivia Cruises, CampOut, and Carefree. Mary Gay also chaired Richmond Pride one year, a Richmond gay film festival one year that was held at VCU, and the Run for Equality on Women's Equality Day.","Mary Gay worked as a school social worker for Chesterfield County Public Schools from 1992 until 2002 when she retired. She was able to remain completely closeted at work for the school system, while at the same time living an active and eventful life in the Richmond lesbian and gay community. Richmond had a network of \"gay people who were all connected,\" but were all closeted at work, because most people would've lost their jobs at the time if their employer knew. In 2000, she married Yolanda Farnum at Metropolitan Community Church after they first met at Babe's of Carytown in the 90's. They now reside at Carefree Resort with their two pomeranians.

The land was first used in 1786 by the Chevalier Quesnay de Beau Repaire as the location of his Academy of Arts and Sciences. The school only lasted a few years and Quesnay returned to France. One of the buildings that survived was the assembly hall that was quickly converted into the Academy Theatre. It was there that Virginia ratified the Constitution of the United States in 1788. In 1802, the wooden theater caught fire and burned to the ground, but another was erected on its foundation.","This new theater was very popular and often drew large crowds. On December 26, 1811 the theatre was full. During a scene change, a lantern caught the stage backdrop on fire and soon the entire stage was ablaze. In the aftermath of the fire 73 people, mostly women, were killed including Governor George William Smith. The next day a town commission met and resolved to create a memorial to those who died on the theaters grounds. Monumental Church became this memorial.","Two heroes who emerged from the inferno were Gilbert Hunt, an enslaved blacksmith and Dr. James McCaw, a Richmond physician (and grandfather of Dr. James B.

Under an agreement with Virginia Commonwealth University the Church became a religious center for the student body supplementing its own congregation in 1958. After a major renovation phase of the Church that began in 1960, the Episcopal diocese found the cost too high and moved the congregation to a newer building in 1965. Ownership transferred to the University who attempted to continue the renovations. The Church was listed on National Registry of Historic Places in 1971.

The land was first used in 1786 by the Chevalier Quesnay de Beau Repaire as the location of his Academy of Arts and Sciences. The school only lasted a few years and Quesnay returned to France. One of the buildings that survived was the assembly hall that was quickly converted into the Academy Theatre. It was there that Virginia ratified the Constitution of the United States in 1788. In 1802, the wooden theater caught fire and burned to the ground, but another was erected on its foundation.","This new theater was very popular and often drew large crowds. On December 26, 1811 the theatre was full. During a scene change, a lantern caught the stage backdrop on fire and soon the entire stage was ablaze. In the aftermath of the fire 73 people, mostly women, were killed including Governor George William Smith. The next day a town commission met and resolved to create a memorial to those who died on the theaters grounds. Monumental Church became this memorial.","Two heroes who emerged from the inferno were Gilbert Hunt, an enslaved blacksmith and Dr. James McCaw, a Richmond physician (and grandfather of Dr. James B. McCaw).","Opened in 1814 the Church was built on land \"for ever kept sacred\". In a vault under the church lay the bodies of those who perished that night, and several plaques and memorials line the churches walls. Chief Justice John Marshall was instrumental in the initial phases in creating this Greek revival church. And after it opened, Marshall was a congregation member. Designed by Roberts Mills, Monumental is the only surviving Church Mills designed with its dome intact. The church was known as Monumental Episcopal Church.","As the City of Richmond grew so did the Medical College of Virginia, taking up most of the city plots around the Church. Under an agreement with Virginia Commonwealth University the Church became a religious center for the student body supplementing its own congregation in 1958. After a major renovation phase of the Church that began in 1960, the Episcopal diocese found the cost too high and moved the congregation to a newer building in 1965.
