Episode 40: Gay Bravery
Amplified Oklahoma Show Notes
August 16, 2019
Show Notes
With the fiftieth anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising in 2019, we are looking back at Oklahoma's own LGBT history. From the smallest personal victory to forcing administrative change through collective action, gay history is inextricably tied to a drive to improve the world we live in. In this episode of Amplified Oklahoma, we’re highlighting the bravery, perseverance, and actions of OSU alumni, staff, and faculty from the OSU Diverse Sexuality and Gender Oral History Project and the moments that shaped their lives, worldviews, and communities. We'll hear stories of understanding the AIDS crisis to some of the first pride marches in the state, and how gay activism continues to change the LGBT experience in Oklahoma.
