MATT BARNARD/Tulsa World file Matt Barnard After marrying her longtime partner, Mary, in 2014, Sharon BishopBaldwin found herself adjusting to a whole new way of speaking. It wasn’t easy at first. https://www.tulsaworld.com/news/we-share-it-with-a-whole-community--year-anniversary/article_656f2898-cadb-52a7-936f-59de7c5c8f20.html Page 1 of 7 �‘We share it with a whole communityʼ: 5-year anniversary of same-sex…n to remember, look forward, proponents say | News | tulsaworld.com 10/6/19, 6(45 PM “I had trouble sometimes just saying ‘my wife,’ ” she said. “Like if I was calling to get a prescription for Mary. They’d say ‘what’s your relationship?’ And before I replied, there’d be a moment of hesitation.” NOW PLAYING ! 1 of 27 " | | # HD Don't Miss! - 10/5 Preview NEXT Don't Miss! - 10/7 Part of the problem, Bishop-Baldwin said, was her anticipation of the reaction. Too often back then, it was an awkward one. “They might respond oddly,” she said, causing a little “nervous embarrassment” for both parties. But today, five years later, all of that has changed. “Now the word ‘wife’ rolls off my tongue without a second thought,” Bishop-Baldwin said. And the reactions? For the most part, they’ve smoothed out, too, she said — “to just such a matter-of-fact transaction.” Society, Bishop-Baldwin believes, is finally getting used to its new reality. And with it, acceptance of same-sex relationships is slowly growing. This Sunday, Oct. 6, will officially mark five years since same-sex couples in Oklahoma were first legally permitted to marry. For the Bishop-Baldwins and other couples who took advantage of it that first week in 2014, it means their own five-year anniversary is at hand. And with that, an opportunity also comes to both reflect and look forward. The Bishop-Baldwins, whose lawsuit in response to a voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage in 2004 paved the way, became the first to claim a marriage license at Tulsa County Courthouse, after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case and the judge lifted a stay. https://www.tulsaworld.com/news/we-share-it-with-a-whole-community--year-anniversary/article_656f2898-cadb-52a7-936f-59de7c5c8f20.html Page 2 of 7 �‘We share it with a whole communityʼ: 5-year anniversary of same-sex…n to remember, look forward, proponents say | News | tulsaworld.com 10/6/19, 6(45 PM The couple will commemorate the five-year milestone, they said, with some special company: They’re having dinner with Sue Barton and Gay Phillips, the other couple involved in their long 10-year legal battle. “That seemed like the appropriate thing to do,” Mary BishopBaldwin said. “They were with us every step of the way.” Barton and Phillips had been married previously elsewhere, and won the right that same day to have Oklahoma recognize their union. John David and Jason Bragg-Sutton, formerly of the Tulsa area, will celebrate their 5-year anniversary on Oct. 11. The Nowata couple had been together five years before marriage became legal, John David said. Secure in their bond, they didn’t feel like they needed marriage to affirm that. However, that doesn’t mean they don’t see the value in it, John David said: “It’s not a gay marriage certificate that I hold, it’s a marriage certificate. The ability to say that shows it doesn’t matter. I’m on the same level as others and equal to them.” The couple were married in 2014 at a park in Owasso, joined by a few friends and family. “It is a huge thing,” John David added of the anniversary. “It feels like we’ve accomplished something. It’s definitely a milestone.” Complicating any celebratory plans, he said, are the demands of parenthood. With six adopted children, “we may just be taking a nap that day,” John David laughed. “Maybe we can go out for a quiet dinner — just relax and be married for a little while rather than being parents.” Rush to the courthouse Surprised like everyone else by the unexpected news of Oct. 6, 2014, Toby Jenkins, director and CEO of Oklahomans for Equality, joined other marriage equality proponents at the Tulsa courthouse, where he made sure the Bishop-Baldwins would be first to get a license. “I said nobody gets married until Sharon and Mary do,” he said, wanting to make sure their role was properly recognized. https://www.tulsaworld.com/news/we-share-it-with-a-whole-community--year-anniversary/article_656f2898-cadb-52a7-936f-59de7c5c8f20.html Page 3 of 7 �‘We share it with a whole communityʼ: 5-year anniversary of same-sex…n to remember, look forward, proponents say | News | tulsaworld.com 10/6/19, 6(45 PM A total of 21 couples would be issued licenses that first day. From there, the surge continued, Jenkins said. Over the first year of legal same-sex marriage, around 1,200 licenses would be issued in Tulsa, and 4,200 statewide, said Jenkins, whose organization tracked the numbers. The painstaking task involved some guesswork, he cautioned, since licenses don’t identify male or female, just spouse names. Primarily concerned with making sure all counties were complying, Jenkins didn’t pursue numbers after that. But he’s happy to report that “in five years, there’s not been a court clerk who’s refused (a license) that we are aware of. It does feel like our elected officials are willing to follow the rule of law.” A few months after Oklahoma began issuing licenses in June 2015, same-sex marriage became legal nationwide thanks to a U.S. Supreme Court decision. Undoubtedly, it’s contributed to the rapid rise in the number of samesex households in which the couples are married. The rate has more than doubled over a decade, from 26.6% in 2008 to nearly 60% in 2017, according to the most recent data available, the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2017 American Community Survey. The survey estimated that in 2017 there were 935,229 same-sex households in the U.S., of which married couples made up 555,492. That growth is one reason advocates like Jenkins believe same-sex marriage is here to stay. “There are so many LGBTQ Americans who have exercised their legal right to ever strip us totally of that,” he said. In addition, Mary Bishop-Baldwin believes, there are fewer people today who would even want to take it away. “Too many straight people know gay people, and love gay people, and now see what marriage means to them,” she said. Both Bishop-Baldwins were editors at the Tulsa World when the lawsuit was filed, and Mary Bishop-Baldwin is still an assistant editor. https://www.tulsaworld.com/news/we-share-it-with-a-whole-community--year-anniversary/article_656f2898-cadb-52a7-936f-59de7c5c8f20.html Page 4 of 7 �‘We share it with a whole communityʼ: 5-year anniversary of same-sex…n to remember, look forward, proponents say | News | tulsaworld.com 10/6/19, 6(45 PM Never forget While Jenkins is grateful for marriage, the occasion of the anniversary also reminds him of its limitations. “Marriage fixed so much,” he said, “but the sad reality is there’s a lot it didn’t … employment protection, housing protection and certainly it has not stopped hate crimes. … it hasn’t changed people’s hearts.” Just this past July, a mural at the Oklahomans for Equality center was vandalized, a reminder that anti-LGBTQ sentiment still exists in the community, he said. Jenkins also can’t help feeling sad, too, for all the Oklahomans for whom Oct. 6, 2014, came too late. “There were so many people who needed those protections but who missed out on it,” he said. For Oklahoma’s LGBTQ community going forward, Jenkins said, it’s important not to forget how it got here. He thinks it’s already become too easy to take marriage for granted. “We need to remember how forever indebted we are” to the BishopBaldwins, Barton and Phillips, he said. “We are able to get married because of their work, which was courageous and at times isolating for them.” For their part, the Bishop-Baldwins say they would rather people remember the struggle, and what the situation once was for same-sex couples. A good reminder of it, they said, comes every year in the form of their original anniversary. Many years before they were allowed to marry, the Bishop-Baldwins held a commitment ceremony. “It was at a beach house in Florida — and at the time, that was all the wedding we thought we’d ever have,” said Sharon Bishop-Baldwin. As a result, that original anniversary — which they will celebrate for the 20th year next March 26 — will always have a special meaning to them. But this week, they added, the focus will be on Oct. 6. https://www.tulsaworld.com/news/we-share-it-with-a-whole-community--year-anniversary/article_656f2898-cadb-52a7-936f-59de7c5c8f20.html Page 5 of 7 �‘We share it with a whole communityʼ: 5-year anniversary of same-sex…n to remember, look forward, proponents say | News | tulsaworld.com 10/6/19, 6(45 PM “It’s not just a celebration about us,” Mary Bishop-Baldwin said. “We share it with a whole community of people — a whole community who never thought they’d have the opportunity to get married.” Featured video Mourners show up to honor World War II veteran w… Tim Stanley 918-581-8385 tim.stanley@tulsaworld.com Twitter: @timstanleyTW Tim Stanley Staff Writer Stanley is a general assignment reporter and the writer behind the award-winning "World War II Veterans Remember" series & book. 918-581-8385 https://www.tulsaworld.com/news/we-share-it-with-a-whole-community--year-anniversary/article_656f2898-cadb-52a7-936f-59de7c5c8f20.html Page 6 of 7 �‘We share it with a whole communityʼ: 5-year anniversary of same-sex…n to remember, look forward, proponents say | News | tulsaworld.com https://www.tulsaworld.com/news/we-share-it-with-a-whole-community--year-anniversary/article_656f2898-cadb-52a7-936f-59de7c5c8f20.html 10/6/19, 6(45 PM Page 7 of 7 � Still Image A static visual representation.

Neill Equality Center operated by Oklahomans for Equality. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Oklahomans for Equality Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource April 27, 2019 Description An account of the resource Lynn Riggs, Oklahoma's premier playwright, wrote most of his 25 full-length plays about his home state - stories of the people he knew in this childhood as they struggled to create new lives in a changing culture . Son of a part-Cherokee mother and pioneer father in Claremore , Lynn wished to introduce the public t the diverse people of the Plains Many of Riggs' early poems, The Iron Dish 1930, evoked the ambiance of Santa Fe, his favorite city. Later, more personal poems, This Book, This Hill, These People, 1982, often reflected a Native American view of life. His interests were in singing, playing guitar, and acting. After high school, as a young man with identity issues, Riggs signed on as a cattle puncher on a train bound for Chicago. then went to New York , where he played an extra in some early cowboy movies being filmed in the Bronx. By 1920, he was in Hollywood, working as a film extra. Between film jobs, as he read proof for the Los Angeles Times, a disaster brought him a windfall . In 1928, Riggs' talents earned him a Guggenheim Fellowship to work for a year in Franc e. It freed him from money worries and gave him peace to write his most famous play, Green Grow the Lilacs. The Theatre Guild produced it on Broadway in 1931, featuring many of the old folk songs from Lynn's childhood that he loved. The same group revived it on Broadway in 1943, substituting contemporary music by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein and the new title, Oklahoma!. It broke all records and continues to be produced across the U.S. and around the world. He continued to write all his years, and to encourage aspiring writers. He supported amateur theatre groups wherever he could believing that they would shape the future of American theatre . He died of lung cancer in New York in 1954. -By Phyllis Cole Braunl ich, author of Haunted by Home: The life and letters of Lynn Riggs, 1988, and "R.

I owned the structure during the 1970s. Tulsa Gay Alliance(TGA) was one of the many gay activist organizations that sprang up from coast to coast within a year after the Stonewall Riots in New York City June 28,1969. The house was the home base for all the gay activists' organizations for most of the decade of the 1970s including TGA,Tulsa's Gay Awareness Program (GAP), GAP's newsletter GAP RAP, and the Tulsa Caucus. Initial meetings of Tulsa Metropolitan Church (MCC)were also held there to provide those who needed a more friendly Christian faith church. Gay activism was out-of-the-question for most Tulsa gay men In 1969. They feared being outed and facing life-changing outcomes of total rejection by family,friends and employers. But five gay men gathered secretly for the first time in a small meeting room on the 3rd floor of the Tulsa City-County Main Library. Names, identification, or phone numbers were not exchanged for fear that Tulsa police might learn who the activists were. Meetings then moved to 1629 South Cincinnati.. The address of the building that police eventually labeled "a nest of queers". The rich gay rights history associated with the house is as interesting as some of the activists themselves were. One of Tulsa's activists had been a homeless teenager who was thrown out by his parents for being gay. He survived as a dishwasher and go-go boy at Stonewall Inn when the riots broke out. Two of the activists had been committed to mental institutions by their families because they were gay. One activist had been an emergency room nurse. Another was an honorably discharged veteran after serving In a highly classified career field. One was a black activist who singularly dared to publicly raise the issue of being gay to Tulsa's African American community. One had a law enforcement background. Another later became an ordained Priest-Pastor at Tulsa's St. Jeromes Angelican Church. President Herbert Walker Bush appointed one of the activists to be 28th recipient of the President's "1,000 Points of Light" award and medallion. Another activist received a Letter of Commendation from President Bill Clinton for his previous activism for equal gay rights Most of the activists had been abandoned by their families and churches. All the activists were as common as any except all were deeply committed to securing equal rights for themselves and others. 1 �The first activist group of TGA failed to enlist less than a dozen Tulsa gays and lesbians to join the effort to seek their equal rights. Being outed was too dangerous In the "City of Churches" and living in such anti-gay political and law enforcement environment. Dallas gays were not as shy as Tulsans were in 1972.They asked me and my companion as TGA organizers to lead Dallas' first and only gay "March" through the main downtown streets of the city. In 1974 the GAP RAP newsletter broke a story that Associated Press picked up. Newspapers around the country published their own articles about the Tulsa story. Tulsa local government recoiled from all the bad press. But, GAP and its GAP RAP had finally managed to get the attention and concern the group sought about the need for local government to address the abuse and discrimination Tulsa gays were experiencing from police and others. GAP's sister activist group of the Tulsa Caucus followed through with their part. Their appeals to Tulsa Human Rights Commission secured that Commission's attention. A Special Task Force was created by the Commission that included gay activists. Assertions of the Special Task Force eventually resulted in the Mayor declaring an Executive Order(EO). The EO prohibited discrimination of gays by businesses that had any relationship with the City such as licensing, approvals, agreements, etc. The EO was rescinded by the next Mayor James Inhofe after encouraged by the "Orange Juice Lady" Tulsa native Anita Bryant. Tulsa law enforcement's retaliation toward gay activists was harsh. The house of gay activists might have accurately been labeled a "nest of queers". The queer activist's certainly 'hatched' their plans there. I was the activists who was falsely labeled as being associated with "organized crime" and targeted by the RICO Act(racketeering). But, the accusations were debunked by an IRS investigation. The entire contents of the Tulsa Caucus were striped by unknown persons. I and my partner experienced relentless police harassment likely Intended to intimidate or drive us out of the city. We were stopped, detained, and harassed repeatedly for no valid reason. The stops were so numerous they became was a subject of jokes to police dispatchers. The black activist(my partner) was the easiest target by police He was arrested 3 times. One arrest resulted in a ten day work assignment. Another bogus charge was dismissed in court. The third was ruled as "Unconstitutional" by the Oklahoma Supreme Court and dismissed. My employer attempted to fire me due to my sexual orientation and activism. My partner and I began to receive frequent threats of violence. A night-time brick enclosed in a sack of burning substance crashed through one of the house's windows seriously jeopardizing the lives of the sleeping residents. The house that became the home base of gay activists in the historic Maplewood District had been built in the early 1900s during the oil boom. Due to the dryness and flammability of the near 70 year old wooden structure, the terrorist's act would have 2 �burned to the ground within minutes. It would have likely trapped residents on the second story if the fire had not been detected immediately. I vacated all the activists "nesters" and renters. I then sold the property at a loss to end Its being a serious endangerment to residents because it was the home base of the activist's groups. The "nest of queers" had its own interesting history that preceded the struggle for gay equal rights. There was a weird, weird, sense of strange quality about the house. Residents and visitors alike believed "spirits" were present. Others claimed they witnessed unexplained and unnerving sights. There were suspicions expressed by persons who were not in a position to know things that proved accurate after being investigated. There was evidence that a murder may have occurred on the property years previously. Two persons who were known to have been present in the house multiple times before they were In fact actually murdered elsewhere. Gay Tulsans had valid reasons for not wanting to be outed in the 1970s. But significant advances associated with the house at 1629 South Cincinnati Avenue in Tulsa began making a difference. Gay Tulsans began to regain their courage. The new decade presented new challenges. Gays began to revel -- RECKLESSLY -- in their new sense of emerging freedoms. The 1980's decade was the one of HIV and AIDS. But new and effective support organizations in Tulsa were created and dealt with It. The "nest of queers" Is now gone. But the details of its rich history, secrets, and personal knowledge of the details of events and activists who contributed so much to help secure equal rights for Tulsa's LGBTQ and HIV/AIDS communities still resides In the hundreds and hundreds of hours of notes, audio, video, and printed records I preserved over the years and written about in my book.

The stops were so numerous they became was a subject of jokes to police dispatchers. The black activist(my partner) was the easiest target by police He was arrested 3 times. One arrest resulted in a ten day work assignment. Another bogus charge was dismissed In court. The third was ruled as "Unconstitutional" by the Oklahoma Supreme Court and dismissed. My employer attempted to fire me due to my sexual orientation and activism. My partner and I began to receive frequent threats of violence. A night-time brick enclosed in a sack of burning substance crashed through one of the house's windows seriously jeopardizing the lives of the sleeping residents. The house that became the home base of gay activists in the historic Maplewood District had been built in the early 1900s during the oil boom. Due to the dryness and flammability of the near 70 year old wooden structure, the terrorist's act would have burned to the ground within minutes. It would have likely trapped residents on the second story if the fire had not been detected immediately. I vacated all the activists "nesters" and renters. I then sold the property at a loss to end its being a serious endangerment to residents because it was the home base of the activist's groups. The "nest of queers" had its own interesting history that preceded the struggle for gay equal rights. There was a weird, weird, sense of strange quality about the house. Residents and visitors alike believed "spirits" were present. Others claimed they witnessed unexplained and unnerving sights. There were suspicions expressed by persons who were not in a position to know things that proved accurate after being investigated. There was evidence that a murder may have occurred on the property years previously. Two persons who were known to have been present in the house multiple times before they were in fact actually murdered elsewhere. Gay Tulsans had valid reasons for not wanting to be outed in the 1970s. But significant advances associated with the house at 1629 South Cincinnati Avenue in Tulsa began making a difference. Gay Tulsans began to regain their courage. The new decade presented new challenges. Gays began to revel - RECKLESSLY - in their new sense of emerging freedoms. The 1980's decade was the one of HIV and AIDS. But new and effective support organizations in Tulsa were created and dealt with it. 5 �The "nest of queers" is now gone. But the details of its rich history, secrets, and personal knowledge of the details of events and activists who contributed so much to help secure equal rights for Tulsa's LGBTQ and HIV/AIDS communities still resides in the hundreds and hundreds of hours of notes, audio, video, and printed records I preserved,over the years and written about in my book. f .» t A V \ txi.k 1. : J • A 6 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
