The Intemational Gay Rodeo
Association (IGRA) Finals highlight a busy fall for the Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Transgender (GLBT)
and allied community of NE
Oklahoma. See the back cover
for a listing of fall events.
Tulsa GLBT Information Line
The Tulsa Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual &
Transgender (GLBT) History Project presents Dr. Leisa Meyer as the featured speaker
at the FallSpeakers Dinner on Friday, October 10, 2003 at All Souls Unitarian Church
2952 S Peoria.
Dr. Meyer is the Director of Women’s
Studies and an associate professor of history
at William & Mary College, Williamsburg,
VA. She is the chair of the American Historical Association’s Committee on Gay &
Lesbian History. Her boo’ks include Creadng
G.1. Jane: Sexuality and Power in the
gEomen’s Army during Igorld gear H (1996)

(Continued on page 5 - see GLBT History)
�After years of living in denial, the man had fmally accepted he was Gay. He left his job as an associate pastor at a large church, told his wife and boss he wa~s gay and drove to his hometown - Tulsa,
He arrived in Tulsa and stayed with friends from college (all graduates of Rhema Bible College),
wondering about the next step and searching for answers.
He called the Tulsa GLBT Information Line, 743-GAYS, the next morning and talked to a volunteer - who happened to be there during the day. That afternoon, he came to the Tulsa Gay, Lesbian, Bi
& Trausgender (GLBT) Community Center and stayed for over 4 hours.
He felt free and honest about his life for the first time,
What might he expect in his future?
Would his family ignore him?
Would he ever see his children again?
Were there others like him?
As he left the Center and thanked the
volunteer, he said "You’ll never
know how coming here has helped.
It saved me."
Memorial
That is one of the reasons the Tulsa GLBT Community Center exists.
Thousands of individuals call the Tulsa GLBT Information Line, housed in the center, searching for
answers. Young adults come through the doors wondering if they will ever be accepted by their family and friends. Others of all ages step through the doors in the lifelong process of coming out. Still
more find a community they never knew existed. Families and friends of GLBT individuals learn
their loved one is part of a community that cares. Community organizations have a place to call home
and meet - educating those in and a part of the GLBT & allied community.
The very presence of the Tulsa GLBT Community Center educates the general population on the
issues of equality and social acceptance - the mission of Tulsa Oklahomans for Human Rights
(TOHR).
Tulsa Oklahomans for Human Rights has operated the Tulsa GLBT Community since 1996 and is
Oklahoma’s oldest GLBT organization having been in existence since 1980. Through advocacy, education, leadership and unity, TOHR provides the 6LBT & allied community a place to call home - the
Tulsa GLBT Community Center - and a voice to educate Oklahoma on equality and social acceptance.
You are TOH1L You can provide, through your volunteer time or membership/contribution, a
home for the community and a place for all - gay or straight - to feel comfortable and be themselves.
Advocacy and educational programs can continue to demonstrate to all Oklahomans GLBT individuals deserve the same basic rights, equality and acceptance most people enjoy.
Be a part of TOHR (member/donor form on page 7). You’ll be doing your part for equali~’ and
social acceptance. You could be saving a life.

An Executive Director
Next Step for TOHR will be
achieved with your help
Tulsa Oklahomans for Human Rights
(TOHR) has made great strides in recent years:
o
Working for legal equality and social ac-
®
ceptance for the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual,
Transgender and allied community.
Operating the Tulsa Gay, Lesbian, Bi &
Transgender (GLBT) Community Center
while raising alraost a quarter of the funds
needed to acquire a permanent home for
the community center through TOHRs
Capital Campaign, the Pyramid Project.
This success is due to the generosity of those
who have supported the TOHR operating fund
and the capital campaign.
So far, TOHR’s capital campaign, the Pyramid Project, has raised more than $245,000
toward the $1 million goal of acquiring a
permanent facility for the community center and
establishing an endowment to ensure its
operation well into the future.
The next step for TOHR is the addition of a
full-time executive director.
"In the coming months, we will be asking
members of the GLBT community to help us
realize this goal," said Brent Ortolani, president
of TOHR and vice chair of the capital campaign. "The presence of paid staff will allow
TOHR to reach new levels of success in several
areas - in the professional management of the
organization, operational efficiency of the community center, and fundraising assistance for
both the operating fund and capital campaign."
In addition, a full-time executive director will
provide TOHR and the GLBT community with
greater visibility in the Tulsa area.
TOHR has established a goal of raising
$45,000 by Sept. 30 to fund the staff position.
"This amount will provide us with one year’s
worth of salary and benefits for a full-time executive director," Ortolani said. After employment, many executive directors play a major
role in obtaining continuing funding for their
positions.

Lambda Legal Attorney to
Headline April 14 Event
The regional director of the Lambda Legal
Defense and Education Fund - which successfully petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to hear
a case that may overturn state sodomy laws,
including Oklahoma’s - wil! headline a Town
Hall Meeting co-sponsored by Tulsa Oklahomans for Human Rights (TOHR) and Parents,
Family and friends of Lesbians And Gays
(PFLAG - Tulsa) on Monday, April 14, at Fellowship Congregational Church in Tulsa.
Lee Taft, Lambda regional director in Dallas,
will discuss the case of Lawrence and Garner v.
Texas. The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to

the right to criminalize sodomy on grounds of
public morality.

Advoca
TOHR Advocacy Committee works with Human Rights
Commission to encourage Mayor to Review Pro-Gay Report
The City of Tulsa’s Human Rights Commission recently voted to encourage Tulsa
Mayor Bill LaFortune to review the Report
and Recommendations of its Committee on
Sexual Orientation Discrimination issued in
1994.
The Human Rights Commission voted 7-1
with one abstention on Feb. 18, 2003 to encourage the Mayor to review the report,
which recommended that the Tulsa City
Council amend the city’s non-discrimination
ordinances to include sexual orientation.
Sections 104, 105, and 110 of the City’s
human rights ordinances prohibit discrimination in housing, public accommodations, and
employment among city contractors. Several
characteristics of persons are currently protected, including race, disability, and religion.
The motion to encourage the Mayor to review the report was made by Tommy Chesbro, a member of the Human Rights Cornmission and TOHR’s Advocacy Committee.
In February 1994, the Committee on Sexual Orientation Discrimination submitted its
report and recommendations after months of
research, data-gathering, and public forums
across Tulsa. The report was approved by the
Human Rights Commission and forwarded to
the office of Mayor Susan Savage. Mayor
Savage did not forward the report to the City
Council for action.
"Since then, no further action was taken
until this recent Human Rights Commission
vote," said Brent Ortolani, chair of TOHR’s
Advocacy Committee. "Our hope is that this
action by the Human Rights Commission
will help strengthen our efforts to encourage
Mayor LaFortune to review the report and
submit it to the City Council for possible action this year."
Nancy McDonald and Marty Newman,
along with Ortolani, spoke at the Human
Rights Commission meeting before the vote
was taken. Commissioner Chesbro also discussed the report.
Members of the original Committee on
Sexual Orientation Discrimination included
Nancy McDonald, Sandy J. Hill, Terry Luce,
Kelly Kirby (past TOHR president), Bill
Morrison, Dennis Neill (TOHR cofounder), Rev. Leslie Penrose, Jill Tarbell,
and Terrye Williams. Committee CoChairs were William Hinkle and Barbara
Longwith.

Oklahoma Democratic Resolutions
Where Do They Stand
on GLBT Issues?
HUMAN RIGHTS
The Oklahoma Democratic Party respects and upholds the civil, human
and equal rights of every person.
o
The Oklahoma Democratic Party affirms the role of government at all
levels in providing education and protection of the basic civil and human
rights of every person regardless of
race, ethnicity, color, national origin,
age, gender, gender identity, sexual
nature or orientation, religion, creed,
disability, employment, civil service
or political affiliation, and of which
may be actual or perceived; and,
The Oklahoma Democratic Party
supports the passage of hate crime
laws and the improved reporting and
monitoring of hate crimes with appropriate legislation necessary to enforce the protection of the basic civil,
human, and .equal rights of every
person without exception.
e
The Oklahoma Democratic
Party
supports the reproductive freedom of
every woman, which means that
every woman has the right to decide
for herself when to bear children, and
commits to the correction of economic and social factors that contribute to unintended pregnancies.
The Democratic Party of Oklahoma
recognizes that while the citizens of
our state have benefited from a
’tough on crime’ approach to law enforcement and prosecution, our judicial system must be equally diligent
in preventing the conviction and execution of innocent persons.
The Democratic Party of Oklahoma
supports a two-year moratorium on
the death penalty to evaluate the effectiveness of our own system of justice to do no harm to the innocent,
and to provide DNA testing, and
other appropriate forensic testing, for
all capital punishment cases at state
expense to make certain that no innocent person is wrongly convicted
and put to death.
The above are excerpts f!’om resolutions of the Oklahoma Democrats.
Tulsa Oklahomans for Human
Rights (TOHR) does not endorse a political position.
TOHR wishes to educate the GLBT allied community
of the NE Oklahoma area.

The executive director will play a key role in attracting foundation and corporate support for both
the TOHR operating fund and Pyramd Project capital campaign, said Sue Welch, chair of the Pyramid Project capital campaign.
"This is the next step in acquiring and operating a permanent GLBT Community Center in Tulsa,"
Welch said.
Last fall, TOHR developed and adopted a strategic plan to help the organization reach new
heights, including the addition of an executive director. Carol Barbieto, Ph.D., a nationally recognized expert in nonprofit management and leadership, provided board development training, facilitated the development of the strategic plan, and helped TOHR develop a plan for adding the position
of executive director.
"Foundations and corporations will evaluate the leadership and management of TOHR. They will
want to see a well-developed, engaged governing board with a good mix of skills and representation.
They will also look at the adequacy of management and program staffing," said Barbeito, who is
president of CLOB & Associates of Littleton, Colo. "In my opinion, they should be impressed with
the dedicated board but will also be concerned with the over-extension of the board members who
are also acting in place of staff. The presence of an executive director who is well qualified will signal that TOHR is maturing and becoming a well-managed, professional nonprofit corporation. This
will go a long way to creating the confidence that foundation and corporate grant-makers need to
invest in TOHR."
TOHR has been successful in carrying out approximately 60 to 70 percent of the goals and objectives in the strategic plan, Ortolani said. "We have implemented professional financial management
practices, developed a variety of policies and procedures governing all areas of the organization, and
increased key efficiencies regarding the management of the present community center."
The next step is to add the position of executive director to ensure that the goals of equality and a
permanent GLBT community center in Tulsa are reached.
A series focusing on groups and organizations
meeting at the Tulsa Gay, Lesbian,
Bi & Transgender (GLBT) Community Center.
During his early years as an attorney in South
Africa, Mohandas K. Gandhi, a Hindu, was
deeply moved by the teachings of Jesus, Tolstoy and Ruskin. "The Sermon on the Mount,"
Gandhi said, "went straight to my heart." Determined to translate those principles into practice, Gandhi developed satyagraha (tntth or
soul force) - a plan of action for the development of inner lives and the nonviolent transformation of society.
While a seminary student, Martin Luther
King Jr. discovered Gandhi’s soul force principles. "While the Montgomery boycott was going on," King wrote, "India’s Gandhi was the
guiding light for our technique of nonviolent
social change..."
For more information on TOHR’s strategic goals, please feel free to contact any member of the
TOHR board ofdirectors.

In October 1999, 200 Soulforce delegates
from across the country traveled to Lynchburg,
Virginia, to meet with the Rev. Jerry Falwell
and 200 delegates from his church and university. It was during that weekend that Rev.
Jimmy Creech, one of the 200 Soulforce delegates, used the term "spiritual nonviolence."
The term soon was adopted by Soulforce as the
name of its nonviolence campaign.
Across the country, local groups gather to
study soul force principles to prepare themselves for actions against injustice in their own
communities and ready themselves for participation in national Soulforce events.
Soulforce in Oklahoma, the local group of
Soulforce Inc., has recently held nonvioi~t
demonstrations in Oklahoma City as well as
participating in "Faithful Dissenters" program
that encourages GLBT people and their allies to
stop giving tithes and offerings (or portions
thereof) until the false teachings end.
Soulforce in Oklahoma meets at the Tulsa
Gay, Lesbian, Bi & Transgender (GLBT) Community Center, 2114 S Memorial, on the 1st and
3rd Wednesdays of each month at 6:30 PM.
