Lincoln Blvd. Room #417A Oklahoma City, OK 73105 Re: Same-gender civil unions Dear Senator Williams: I am pleased to see comments in the press recently that the Oklahoma Democratic leadership recognizes that the Legislature has much more important business to attend to than the divisive bills introduced by various House and Senate members on same-gender civil unions. While I come from the position that such unions should be permitted as a basic individual right and liberty, it is also important that the state of Oklahoma not once again be labeled as backward and bigoted. This is not the image we need if we want to develop real economic opportunity for our citizens. As the two enclosed articles note, the states and cities which support a progressive and diverse work environment –including their gay and lesbian citizens - are the ones who will most likely move forward in their economic development. We should also be supportive of the thousands of Oklahoma families who have gay children or other relatives – and simply wish to have the same rights and responsibilities as of the rest of the population. We certainly do not want to codify in our state or federal constitutions examples of blatant bigotry, a legacy which would be ashamed of for generations to come. Instead, let’s take a deep breath – and pursue the real issues that mean a better quality of life for all. Sincerely, Dennis R.

TOHR GLBT History Project The GLBT History Project (the “History Project”) is a volunteer group of interested members of the Tulsa community who are committed to uncovering, preserving and presenting the rich contributions of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people within the state of Oklahoma, with a particular emphasis on Tulsa and the surrounding area. Why undertake this effort, which will include gathering and indexing documents, news stories, oral and video interviews and creating a permanent and accessible archive? How else can we understand the contributions, sacrifice, and dedication of our GLBT community and its many supporters? As we fight for a better society that more openly accepts its rich diversity and extends equal rights to all, the History Project will be an important source of knowledge and inspiration. Due to past discrimination, the contributions and sacrifices of GLBT persons around the world and through the ages have been overlooked and minimized. The History Project is proudly joining the struggle to document these issues and lay a firm foundation to addressing the wrongs of past discrimination and marginalization. One brief historical example. For the last four hundred years, millions of people have traveled to Rome to view Michelangelo’s ceiling in the Sistine Chapel – one of the great achievements in Western culture. They accept as a historical fact that he was an Italian living in the sixteenth century; for Italians, his accomplishment is a source of national pride. Less well known, and less accepted, is the fact that he was a homosexual. The latter fact, like the former, does not intrinsically amplify or diminish the work itself. For gay people everywhere, however, his sexuality engenders a similar sense of pride. It says to us something akin to what it says to Italians: We are here. We have always been here. One of us did this. We matter. The GLBT community has been served by many outstanding individuals, gay and straight, each with their own history and perspective on where we have been and where we need to go. The lack of comprehensive documentation presents a critical problem in the formation of a truly balanced history of GLBT Oklahomans, their friends and family. It also demonstrates the need for permanent GLBT archives, repositories for the evidence that reveals how we live, work, play, love and die. In gathering this history, we have discovered men and women who struggled to lead whole lives and who fought to express themselves as active, creative and loving human beings and Oklahomans. It is with pleasure that we will tell their stories. Additional Background: The History Project was launched by Tulsa Oklahomans for Human Rights in 2002. To date, it has received funding from TOHR, the GLBT Project at All Souls Unitarian Church of Tulsa, and many individuals. It will continue to operate under the direction of the Board of Directors of TOHR. The gathered materials will be made available to interested persons at the Project’s Office or the TOHR Community Center. Certain information will be provided for use by TOHR in its newsletter and other communications. Historical excerpts will also be regularly posted to the Project’s Web site. The Project will provide speakers and materials to share the Project’s information with interested organizations. Upon the completion of TOHR’s new Community Center, the Project will maintain a permanent office and display space which will enhance the availability of its archives and the ability to continue its work. In conjunction with TOHR, the Project will sponsor a Fall Speaker’s Bureau. This event will be an opportunity to seek financial support for the Project while at the same time bring to the Tulsa area a notable individual who can add to our understanding of the GLBT community at-large.

His mother was 1/8 Cherokee, and when he was two years old, his mother secured his Cherokee allotment for him. He moved to Shelter Island, New York after he started receiving a steady income when Green Grow The Lilacs was adapted into the landmark musical Oklahoma! (In 1943) James Fugate (pen name James Barr), author of several gay themed novels, plays, and articles was born in Oklahoma. It was while in Holyrood that the bulk of his literary output was produced including his groundbreaking novel Quatrefoil published in 1950. In the 1950s Fugate began a journalism career as the area feature writer for the Great Bend, Kansas, Tribune. In addition to Quatrefoil, Fugate also published the play Game of Fools (1955), and his second novel The Occasional Man (1966). Bruce Alonzo Goff (June 8, 1904 - August 4, 1982) was an American architect, distinguished by his organic, eclectic, and often flamboyant designs for houses and other buildings in Oklahoma. Goff accepted a teaching position with the School of Architecture at the University of Oklahoma in 1942. In 1955, Goff, who was homosexual, was accused of "endangering the morals of a minor", as homosexuality was not socially acceptable in Norman, Oklahoma in 1955. As a result of the unproven claims, he was forced to resign from his position at the University of Oklahoma. Anita Bryant was born in Barnsdall, Oklahoma. Bryant became Miss Oklahoma in 1958 and was a second runner-up in the 1959 Miss America beauty pageant at age 19, right after graduating from Tulsa's Will Rogers High School. In 1977, Dale County, Florida, passed an ordinance sponsored by Bryant's former friend Ruth Shack that prohibited discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. Bryant led a highly publicized campaign to repeal the ordinance as the leader of a coalition named Save Our Children. The campaign was based on conservative Christian beliefs regarding the sinfulness of homosexuality. Phyllis Ann Lyon and Dorothy Louise Taliaferro "Del" Martin, are an American lesbian couple known as feminist and gay-rights activists. Phyllis Lyon was born on November 10, 1924 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She holds a degree in journalism from the University of California, Berkeley, earned in 1946.
