Description

This is an interview with a gay man in his fifties raised on a farm, one of several siblings, in Southern West Virginia. Not aware of his sexual orientation until he had been married with a family for several years, the informant came out to himself and others well into his adult years. He chronicles that experience, as well as directions his life has taken subsequently in committed relationships with men and with a continuation of close involvement in the church. This interview contains descriptions of the formation of West Virginia’s first gay pride march.
