Helping Donors Assist Tulsa Area Nonprofits That Are Committed to Diversity
Every day, the LGBT community and its allies support causes and organizations in Tulsa that affect
everyone's quality of life. Because there has been no way of identifying money coming from these
committed community members, this philanthropy has been, to some extent, "invisible." In 2003, a group
of Tulsa, Oklahoma citizens formed the Gay & Lesbian Fund for Tulsa as a donor-advised fund of the Tulsa
Community Foundation. The Gay & Lesbian Fund for Tulsa is committed to making visible the philanthropic
contributions of the LGBT and allied community to Tulsa.
The Gay & Lesbian Fund for Tulsa will consolidate and brand money given locally by the lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) community and their allies. These funds and certain matching funds
from the Gill Foundation will provide an important source of grants to issues we all care about; helping
children and the aged, eliminating disease, feeding the homeless and promoting equal opportunity for
everyone. It will also provide incentive for organizations to examine and update their employment
practices to ensure that they provide equal opportunity to all, regardless of their sexual orientation.
Organizations that receive grants from the Gay & Lesbian Fund for Tulsa must have an employment nondiscrimination policy that includes sexual orientation and must recognize the Gay & Lesbian Fund for Tulsa
as the grant source.
This effort is modeled after the Gay & Lesbian Fund for Colorado, a fund of the Gill Foundation, which
since 1996 has given millions of dollars to nonprofits on behalf of the gay and lesbian community in
Colorado. We are proud to be an affiliated program with the Gill Foundation and very much appreciate
their willingness to provide matching dollars, which will increase the giving ability of the Gay & Lesbian
Fund for Tulsa.
If you are interested in making a tax-deductible contribution to the Gay & Lesbian Fund for Tulsa, please
see our website at www.gayandlesbianfund.org (click on Gay & Lesbian Fund for Tulsa or contact the
Tulsa Community Foundation, (918) 494-8823.
If your nonprofit is interested in applying for funds or wishes to have assistance on revising your policies
and procedures to include sexual orientation in order to be eligible to receive funding, please contact us at
tulsa@gayandlesbianfund.org. You may also call the Tulsa Community Foundation at (918) 494-8823 and
they can help direct you to more information.
The mission of the Gay & Lesbian Fund for Tulsa is to support effective Tulsa nonprofits which practice diversity in
their policies and workplace while building public awareness of the contributions that the LGBT community and
their friends, family and other allies make to improve the quality of life in the Tulsa area.
�How can you make a positive impact through the Gay & Lesbian Fund for Tulsa?
• Create Positive Visibility
Are the words “gay & lesbian” being heard openly in Tulsa? Having members of our community hear the words
“gay and lesbian” in a positive and non-politicized context can be an effective means of normalizing and
building awareness.
To create positive visibility consider…
ü Sponsorship of highly visible events, particularly ones that provide donor recognition visibility to
moderate and conservative members of the community.
ü Underwriting of public television or radio programs. This is the #1 source of name recognition for the
Gay & Lesbian Fund for Colorado.
• Increase Equitable Employment Policies
By requiring that nonprofits have an employment non-discrimination policy that includes sexual orientation,
funding provides an incentive for Tulsa nonprofits to adopt more equitable and inclusive policies. It is also
important education, as many mistakenly think that current laws protect gay men and lesbians from
employment discrimination.
To increase equitable employment policies consider…
ü Support for key Tulsa area nonprofits that do not currently have equitable employment policies
ü Support for large Tulsa nonprofit organizations with a significant number of employees.
ü Support for local chapters of national nonprofit organizations that can contribute to momentum for
national policy change.
ü Support for nonprofits whose boards of directors include prominent business owners and leaders.
• Build Social Justice Alliances
The Tulsa LGBT community shares social justice concerns with other marginalized groups. What a great way
to support and remind those communities of our shared challenges and to build those relationships. It is easier
to ask for support of LGBT families and civil rights when we are reaching out to support other communities and
their civil rights. And, as we promote justice for other populations, we raise the commitment of the whole
community to equality for everyone.
To build social justice alliances consider…
ü Support for nonprofits serving People of Color, women, and the disabled.
ü Support for programs advancing social justice and civic participation for allied constituents.
• Challenge Public Perceptions and Stereotypes
What do gay men and lesbians care about? By visibly supporting valued mainstream nonprofits, the
community is challenged to recognize that we all care about the same things. Particularly when those
contributions go to organizations that clash with negative stereotypes, it can provide a “learning moment”.
To challenge public perceptions and stereotypes consider…
ü Support for nonprofits or issues that are considered moderate or conservative.
ü Support that directly contradicts negative stereotypes, such as supporting organizations serving
children, families and the faith community.
�• Leverage Community Allies
Seeing well-known and well-respected Tulsa nonprofits and their leaders modeling comfort and appreciation
for their gay and lesbian donors can be very influential. Community partners give a “seal of approval” with their
acknowledgment of support from the Gay & Lesbian Fund. There is a sense that “If the American Red Cross
and Boys & Girls Club feel comfortable accepting and acknowledging contributions from the gay and lesbian
community, it must be OK.”
To leverage community allies consider…
ü Support for nonprofits that are influential and well respected in the Tulsa community.
ü Support for nonprofits that are considered “mainstream” and not typically associated with gay issues.
ü Support that provides donor recognition opportunities linking your Gay & Lesbian Fund with influential
allies and leaders, such as an on-stage “thanks” from organizational leaders where they will model their
comfort and support in front of community members.
• Influence Specific Issues
When specific gay and lesbian issues are in the news and before the Tulsa public, Gay & Lesbian Fund
support can focus attention and influence attitudes on these issues. Positive exposure to LGBT contributions
can influence public perception, opinion and support.
To influence specific issues consider…
ü Support for Tulsa nonprofits strengthening marriage and families
ü Support for Tulsa nonprofits promoting employment equality.
ü Support for organizations or events that expose policy makers to LGBT support.
ü Support for issues of concern and debate in Tulsa.
• Build a Sense of Reciprocity
While LGBT donors give up to 50% of their charitable dollars to non-LGBT programs that benefit the whole
community, few straight donors contribute to LGBT organizations. Are there significant and influential donors in
your community who might be influenced to contribute to LGBT causes if the contributions of the LGBT
community to their causes were made visible? Would organizations like your local United Way include LGBT
organizations or programs if they were aware of the valuable contributions LGBT donors are making to their
fundraising?
To build a sense of reciprocity consider…
ü Support for causes and nonprofits valued by Tulsa donors who might reciprocate by supporting LGBT
causes and organizations.
ü Support for Tulsa events or organizations that contribute to multiple causes, when LGBT organizations
or causes are included.
• Enhance the quality of life in your community
Underlying all the work of the Gay & Lesbian Fund is the commitment of LGBT donors to making a positive
contribution for everyone in their community. These strategies should compliment sound philanthropic
decision-making and considerations regarding the financial and administrative stability of nonprofits and their
ability to achieve concrete positive results on issues of importance.

Support Tulsa non-profit
organizations while promoting
equality and inclusiveness
The gay, lesbian and allied
communities, along with their family
and friends, are generous
contributors to and supporters of the
Tulsa community. Their efforts to
improve the quality of life for Tulsa’s
citizens include supporting non-profit
organizations that are focused on
eliminating diseases, helping our
youth and our seniors citizens,
feeding the homeless, and
improving the arts. However,
these significant
contributions are
often overlooked or
go unrecognized.
The Gay & Lesbian Fund for Tulsa (GLFT) was
formed to increase the visibility of gay and lesbian
philanthropy and promote equality and
inclusiveness in the Tulsa community.
By consolidating and branding tax-deductible
contributions we can leverage and direct them to
Tulsa non-profit organizations that embrace
diversity through their outreach programs and
promote equality in the workplace.
Organizations receiving grants through the GLFT
are required to have a non-discrimination policy
which includes sexual orientation and credit the
GLFT as the grant source.
If you support quality non-profits in the Tulsa area,
consider giving your tax-deductible contri-butions
through the GLFT. You will be able to specifically
direct your funds to any of the pre-screened Tulsa
Area Non-Profits, ensuring that your contributions
are going to agencies which support diversity in
their policies and outreach.
Your donation may be matched at a certain
level by other financial sources which means a
larger contribution to your designated agency.

Gay and Lesbian Fund for Tulsa
Employment Non-Discrimination Policy Requirements and Samples
Nonprofits eligible to receive funding through the Gay and Lesbian fund for Tulsa must provide a
copy of their official employment non-discrimination policy that includes “sexual orientation” (required) and
“gender identity and expression” (recommended). The required wording may be inserted into your existing
employment non-discrimination policy, or a sample policy is provided below.
Sample Employment Non-Discrimination Policy
[Organization’s name] provides equal employment opportunity. [Organization’s name] does not discriminate
against any individual in the terms or conditions of employment on the basis of race, color, nation or ethnic
origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, physical or mental disability,
marital or family status, military or veterans status, or any other basis made unlawful by applicable federal, state,
or local laws or regulations. This policy applies to all aspects of the application process and employment
relationships, including recruitment, application, hiring, compensation, benefits, training, job assignments,
transfers, performance evaluation, promotions, layoffs and terminations.
This policy also applies to relationships with outside vendors and customers, use of contractors and consultants,
volunteers and clients, and in dealing with the general public.
The following examples are sufficient to document the official employment non-discrimination policy of your
organization.
1. Copy of policy text is in organization's by-laws, employee manual, or other official source. Please include
copy of relevant page(s), highlight the policy text and reference the source and date of passage.
2. Policy text on organization's letterhead, signed and dated by Chair of the Board of Directors
3. Policy text on organization’s letterhead with statement of approval, such as "unanimously approved by
Board of Directors on month, day, 20xx."
4. Minutes of Board of Directors meeting during which the policy was approved. (Be sure the complete text
of the policy is included in minutes, or attach complete policy.)

Frequently Asked Questions - Non-Discrimination
Policy Requirement
The Gay and Lesbian Fund for Tulsa requires organizations to have an employment nondiscrimination policy that specifically includes “sexual orientation” (required) and
“gender identity and expression” (recommended) in order to be eligible for funding. This
will help to explain why we have such a requirement and why it is necessary to include
this specific language.
Q: Why does the Gay and Lesbian Fund for Tulsa require an employment nondiscrimination policy?
A: The founders and donors of the Gay and Lesbian Fund for Tulsa include gay men,
lesbians, their families and allies. We have made the decision not to provide funds to
organizations who do not extend employment protection to their gay and lesbian
employees. It also allows us to educate local nonprofits and the public on the need and
importance of employment protection for this group of employees.
Q: Why do we need a formal policy? Isn’t it enough that we don’t practice
discrimination based on sexual orientation?
Q: Why does our non-discrimination policy need to specifically list “sexual
orientation” and “gender identity and expression”?
A: Many people are surprised to learn that gay men and lesbians are not protected by
current federal employment non-discrimination laws. While a few states have passed
their own employment protections, in 36 states including Oklahoma, it is legal to deny
employment or to fire an employee based only on their sexual orientation. Only 9 states
provide employment protection based on gender identity and expression.
The Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1968 established nine protected classes: race, religion,
creed, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, marital status, and familial status. The 1990
Americans with Disability Act extended protection to persons with physical or mental
disabilities and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 added age to the list of protected
classes. The only legal protection available to gay, lesbian and transgender employees is
for employers to specifically list “sexual orientation” and “gender identity and
expression” in their employment non-discrimination policies.
Q: Can’t we just pass a policy stating that we don’t discriminate against anyone?
Do we have to include a long list of all the groups that the non-discrimination policy
applies to?
A: Although this is an appealing notion, a general policy stating that you do not
discriminate has no legal significance.
�The term “discrimination” is often misunderstood. A dictionary defines “discrimination”
as “to draw distinctions, distinguish from or between.” In this ordinary sense, all
organizations discriminate, because all organizations need to draw important and valid
distinctions between current and potential employees based on their qualifications, skills
and performance. We all might agree that it is appropriate for a child-serving
organization to discriminate, i.e.: draw valid distinctions in hiring, against persons with
substance abuse or criminal histories.
In a legal sense, discrimination has a different meaning. “Discrimination” in law refers to
drawing invalid distinctions based on established legal classes. The case above, in which
the organization might refuse to hire, or fire an employee, based on substance abuse is
not “discrimination” in the legal sense, because substance abuse is an appropriate
distinction for purposes of employment.
In the same way, under current law, employment decisions based on sexual orientation or
gender identity and expression are not legally “discrimination” because these are not
established by law as protected classes. It is perfectly legal to fire an individual based on
their sexual orientation or gender identity. Only by specifying “sexual orientation” and
“gender identity and expression” in the employment policy, can organizations extend
legal protection to all their employees. Over 3,000 organizations, including 88% of
Fortune 500 companies have taken this step to ensure equal employment opportunities for

March 20, 2004
Dear Tulsa Community Donor
Recently, four of us in Tulsa (Nancy McDonald, Mona Pittenger, Doug Campbell, and Dennis Neill)
established the Gay and Lesbian Fund for Tulsa with the Tulsa Community Foundation. As more fully
explained in the attached copy of our Web site (www.gayandlesbianfund.org/tulsa), our mission is “to
support effective Tulsa area nonprofits which practice diversity in their policies and workplace while
building public awareness of the contributions that the LGBT community and their friends, family and
other allies make to improve the quality of life in the Tulsa area.”
Our goal is not to ask you to contribute more to Tulsa area non-profits, but to consider directing some of
your charitable giving thru the Fund, with the following benefits:
•
•
•
Branding dollars as coming from the LGBT community and their allies
Encouraging non-profits to include sexual orientation in their non-discrimination policies and
procedures.
Enhancing the level of local giving with the possibility of matching some of our giving with dollars
from the Gill Foundation of Colorado.
The Gay and Lesbian Fund for Tulsa has been working to encourage non-profits to add Sexual Orientation
to their non-discrimination policies. To date, some 35 Tulsa area non-profits have indicated that they have
such policies or are working to do so. We have already sponsored events with 5 non-profits. The Gay and
Lesbian Fund for Tulsa has been recognized in their programs and other appropriate publicity. We hope to
support many other non-profits through grants for events, programs and capital campaigns. To do so, we
need you to consider re-channeling some of your giving through the Fund. This will allow us to encourage
non-profits to recognize diversity and maximize the dollars available through the Gill Foundation matching
program.
To learn more about the purpose of this Fund and the benefits to the local non-profit community and you,
we would like to invite you to a casual continental breakfast on March 31st. Our special guest will be Jan
Brennan, Executive Director of the Gay and Lesbian Fund for Colorado which is affiliated with the Gill
Foundation. She will explain the enormous success of this fund over the last 5 years in the Colorado nonprofit funding area and we will discuss the local Fund and answer questions.
Date: Wednesday, March 31
Time: 8 am
Place: 2nd Floor of the Ambassador Hotel, 14th and Main, Tulsa – Continental Breakfast
To RSVP: Please call Dennis Neill, 743-4354, email dneill@cox.net or Tulsa@gayandlesbianfund.org
We hope you can join us on March 31. Also, if you know of others who may be interested in this program,
please feel free to contact us and we will make sure and extend an invitation.
Sincerely,
Nancy McDonald, Mona Pittenger, Doug Campbell, Dennis Neill

[2003] Gay and Lesbian Fund For Tulsa
Description
An account of the resource
In 2003, Dennis Neill attended the Gill Foundation's Outgiving Program. At the meeting Gill explained the use of a donor fund, the Colorado Gay & Lesbian Fund, to bring awareness to LGBTQ giving and ensure non-profits have appropriate non-discrimination policies. In 2004, Nancy and Joe McDonald, Mona Pittenger, Doug Campbell, and Dennis Neill established the Gay and Lesbian Fund for Tulsa with the Tulsa Community Foundation. The mission is “to support effective Tulsa area nonprofits which practice diversity in their policies and workplace while building public awareness of the contributions that the LGBT community and their friends, family and other allies make to improve the quality of life in the Tulsa area.” Leveraging off of a matching grant from the Gill Foundation, the organizers contributed funds and reached out to others to consider directing some of their charitable giving thru the Fund, with the following benefits:
• Branding dollars as coming from the LGBT community and their allies • Encouraging non-profits to include sexual orientation in their non-discrimination policies and procedures. • Enhancing the level of local giving with the possibility of matching some of our giving with dollars from the Gill Foundation of Colorado.
The Gay and Lesbian Fund for Tulsa has been working to encourage non-profits to add Sexual Orientation to their non-discrimination policies. To date, some 35 Tulsa area non-profits have indicated that they have such policies or are working to do so. We have already sponsored events with 5 non-profits. The Gay and Lesbian Fund for Tulsa has been recognized in their programs and other appropriate publicity. We hope to support many other non-profits through grants for events, programs and capital campaigns. To do so, we need you to consider re-channeling some of your giving through the Fund. This will allow us to encourage non-profits to recognize diversity and maximize the dollars available through the Gill Foundation matching program.

Early Home for LGBTQ Movement in Tulsa
From Vernon Jones on Facebook 10/4/19From Vernon Jones on Facebook 10/4/19
The home base of Tulsa's gay equal rights activist organizations was crushed into rubble and the rubble
removed during the 50th Anniversary Year of Stonewall. 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.

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.

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.

“
I worked with Tina at Tulsa County in Administration Services. She was fun to be
around and always made me laugh. She always cared about others and was a good
friend. I think of her from time to time and and have fond memories of her. I just
discovered her passing and am very sorry to hear about it. I will always remember
her.

I just discovered that Tina had died. We were out of town when it happened and
missed hearing the news. We both enjoyed working with her when Floral Haven did
their salute to Women in Military Service. She was an amazing lady! Steve and

If it wasn't for Tina's compassion I would not be alive. She literally saved my life by

Celebrate
DIVERSITY 20051
Kelly Carter
Each year TOHR brings a week of Diversity Celebration to
Tulsa and to the State of Oklahoma. Our goal is to bring
people together to celebrate wbo and what we are. It’s a
week that wi[I be filled with the laughter of children playing
in the "KID ZONE", with volleyball games in the park,
great music coming from the stage, good food and the harmony of a community united.
In 1997, TOHR hosted the first-ever Tulsa gay pride march
with 60 participants. Today, Diversity has grown to a week
filled with events and we have the second largest gay pfide
parade and the [m-gest gay pride festival in the state of Oklahoma. In an effort to make Diversity 2005 bigger and better
than even, Open am~s Youth Project (OYP), Parents and
Friends of Lesbians and gays (PFLAG) and Tulsa Oklabomarts for Human Rights (TOHR), the three leading GLBT
organization in Northeast Oklahoma, are working together
to sponsor a week of exciting events.

Anne Magro and Heather Finstuen (pictured above with
their six-year old twin daughters) came to Tulsa last month
to attend a reception for Lambda Legal’s Executive Director
Kevin Cathcart, hosted by Lambda Legal Board Member
(and TOHR supporter) Mona Pittinger. Anne and Heather
moved to Norman after Anne accepted a position in the
University of Oklahoma’s School of Accomtting. Heather,
who has worked in publishing, is cun’ently a student in
OU’s College of Law.
Since the family moved to Oklahoma, they bare enjoyed
friendly neighbors and co-workers but they also have had to
confront our state’s stubborn homophobia. Together for I3
years, both are rooms to their daughters Heather legally
adopting the children after Anne gave birth to the twins,
when the coupled lived in New Jersey.
In May, 2004, the Oklahoma State Legislature burried to
pass a law that withdrew state recognition of adoption of
children by same-sex parents elsewhere in the U.S. Legislators responded to Attorney General Drew Edmondson’s
opinion that Oklahoma was obligated to recognize such

Dear TOHR Members and Supporters,
So many wonderful things are happening at TOHR as you will read throughout
this TORCH. TOHR is known in Madison, Wisconsin. 1 have been invited to
appear on a panel at an Indian Law conference at the University of Wisco~sin
Law School on April I, 2005. The panel will discuss the case of Kathy and
Dawn who are litigating with Todd Hembree, a Cherokee Nation member, who
filed suit to "void" their marriage certificate. I was invited as the President of
TOHR.
On behalf of the Board, I want to acknowledge the dedication of Toby Jenkins
(see article in this issue) t’or his work in programlning the Palm Sunday Service. The service was wonderful. We had over 150 in attendance and the offaring raised almost $500.00 for TOHR. The Board wishes also to thank the
many spiritual leaders who participated. We look forward to the upcoming
Pride Interfaith Service that will expand upon the Palm Sunday Service by
bringing leaders from many faith communities together.

certificates listing Gay or Lesbian
parents. The law decrees that Oklahoma "shall not recognize an adoption by more than one individual of
the same sex from any other state or
foreign jurisdiction." But in addition
to preventing future Oklahoma
recognition of adoptions occurring in
other states or nations, the law could
also be interpreted to nullify existing
adoptions whenever families come
into our state. Anne and Heather’s
neighbors recognize that they are
their children’s mothers, but will the
State of Oklahoma? The law threatens families and endangers parents’
relations with their children.
With the help of Lambda Legal,
Anne and Heather have joined together with a number of other parents
and children and sued to overturn
this hurtful law. Brian Chase, Lambda Legal Staff Attorney, has criticized State legislators "who disapprove of gay people and lashed out
by passing a law that punishes children for having gay or lesbian parents." The law should be found unconstitutional and in violation of the
14th Amendment, which guarantees
equal protection, and the Full Faith
and Credit clause of the U.S. constitution.
Anne and Heather have won their
first round in federal court. The
State filed a motion to dismiss the
suit under the 1 lt~ amendment and
lost. It has, however, taken this loss
to the 10ta Circuit Court Court of Appeals in Denver. Anne and Heather’s
family will be caught in the courts
for some time to come. TOHR members can help by talking to friends
and neighbors to help them understand that strong Oklahoma families
come in all shapes and sizes. TOHR
supporters might also attend
PFLAG’s Lobbying Day at the State
Capital on April 6 (see back cover
for details) and buttonhole legislators
urging them to rescind this attack on
Oklahoma’s families and children.

�Focus on Supporting Organizations:
Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays
(PFLAG TULSA)
In eacb Torcb, we offer a supporting organization in Oklahoma rite opportunity to highligbt its activities on behalf of tbe GLBT communi~F, lfyour organization is interested in submitting an article in a future Torch, please contact us
at communiO@~tobr.org. In tbis edition, Nancy McDonaM of PFLAG’s Tulsa
Chapter describes the history and mission of this important and supportive organization.
In 1972, Morton Manf~rd was physi~
cally ariacked at a gay rights demonstration in New York. It just happen
to be the Stonewall Bar. MorO’s parents, Jeanne and Jules Manford, saw
the attack on a local newscast and
witnessed the failure of the police to
intervene, Their outrage turned them
into activists.
The concept of PFLAG began in 1972
when Jeanne Manford lnarched with
her gay son in New York’s first
PRIDE Day Parade. During and after
the parade many g~y men and lesbians ran up to Jeanne and begged her
to talk to their parents. Jeanne decided to begin a support group. Approximately 20 people attended the first
formal meeting held in March 1973 at
a local church.
In the next years, through word of
mouth and in response to communit3,
need, similar groups sprung up around
the country, offering "safe havens"
and mutual support for parents with
gay and lesbian cbildren. Following
the 1979 National March for Gay and
Lesbian Rights, representatives from
these support groups met for tbe first
time in Washington, DC and in !981,
members decided to launch a national
organization. The first PFLAG office
was established in Los Angeles under
founding President Adele Start’.
In 1982, the Federation of Parents and
Friends (PFLAG), then comprising
some 20 groups, incorporated in California and was declared a nonprofit
organization. In 1990, fo[Iowinga
period of enormous growth, PFLAG
hired an Executive Director, added
family to its name, and became a
membersbip based organization.
PFLAG Tulsa was organized as a
Chapter in I987. The Metropolitan
Community Church hosted a group of
interested people to ascertain interest
in organizing a Chapter. Three Tulsa
Families decided to formally organize
the Tulsa Chapter and there bas been
steady growth in membership. We
affiliated with the National organization in 1988 and were the 27th Chapter to be organized. There are now
500 Chapters in the United States.
The vision of the organization is,
"We, the parents, families m~d friends
of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trangender persons, celebrate diversily and
envision a society that embraces everyone, including those of diverse sexual orientations and gender identifies.
Only with respect, digni~ and equaliW for all will we reach our full poten-
tia[ as human beings, individually and
collectively." PFLAG welcomes the
participation and suppol~ of all who
share in, and hope to realize, this viOur mission is to promote the health
and well being of GLBT persons,
their families and fi’iends through:
support, to cope with an adverse society; education, to enlighten an ill in,brined public, and advocacy to end
discrimination and secure equal civil
rights. PFLAG provides an opportunity for dialogue about sexual orientation and gender identity and acts to
create a society that is healthy and
respectful of human diversity.
The Tulsa chapter offers support
groups for parents, family members,
and friends who learn they have a
child, sibling, relative or friend who is
GLBT as well as GLBT persons who
are considering coming out to their
families. Members are actively engaged in educafion of self, family,
fi-iends and the community at large.
They make presentations to schools,
community groups, nonprofit organizations and civic clubs plus provide
information to any person or group
requesting this, Tbey hold monthly
educational meetings, The chapter is
actively engaged in advocacy and has
participated in lobbying days at the
State Capitol, speaking before committees at the Legislature, working for
safe schools, meeting with editorial
boards, State Representatives, State
Senators, CiW Council members,
etc.
We welcome anyone to join the organization and ceriainly encourage
parents to participate. PFLAG is the
bridge between the gay and straight
communities and opens doors to conversation and action. PFLAG’s Helpline number is (918) 749-490 I, and its
email address is pflagtulsa@hotmail.com.
�Palm Sunday Service
Toby Jenkins
Pahn Sunday marks the beginning of
Holy Week in Christianity, the days
leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus
and His resurrection. Newspapers are
full of announcements publicizing
special events and services to cornrent interpretations. Lost among the
publicity of services for Yulsa’s religious community was one rather historic and unique evem for those who
identify themselves as lesbian, gay,
bisexual, transgender, and their
friends and families. The LGBT
community held a Joint Palm Sunday
Service for affirming and inclusive
churches, a first time event they hope
to recreate annually.
SCANDALS!
Homophobic society regularly suffers
scandals and sex panics, and Tulsa has
been no exception. The case of Billy
James Hargis (1925-2004) was one of
the most lurid of these. Hargis rose to
fame as leader of the Christian Crusade and American Christian College,
once located on S. Sheridan Ave. Hargis gained a national reputation, while
working as a pastor in Sapulpa in the
1950s, for preaching the perils of communism and its godless allies that had
infiltrated government, business, unions, Hollywood, and the mainline
Protestant churches. He ran with this
message onto TV and radio.
But Hargis is even more famous as the
first televangelist to be burned by Gay
sex. His organization, in 1968, had
published is the School House the
Proper Place to Teach Raw Sex? But
in 1974, according to Time magazine.
Hargis officiated at the wedding of
two of his students who discovered
that both had lost their virginity to
him. Three young men in the college’s
choir (All-American Kids) next revealed that Hargis had sexually abused
them for several years. Hargis resigned from the College which went
bankrupt, its campus later purchased
by OU’s College of Medicine.
Buddhist temples, synagogues,
almost every branch of the Christian
faith include gay believers. The Diversity Interfaith Service has always
been one of the pillars of Pride Week.
a week of celebration and honor for
the LGBT community, so it was not
difficult to assemble several pastors,
ministers and churches for an afternoon of worship. With 23 churches
represented, Diversity Christian Fellowship International hosted the afternoon in their newly remodeled sanetuary. Dr. Mark Bighley. organist for
Bethany Lutheran Church, played the
processional piece "Glory, Laud, and
Honor." Reverend Rad~brd Rader,

pastor of Genesis Ministries, depicting Jesus entering Jerusalem. Reverend Leslie Penrose, pastor of Community of Hope UCC, took the historic account mid weaved a modemday reflection of how Jesus’ disciples
loved the parade atmosphere of the
triumphal entry but the work of the
cross was still ahead. "We too
love the parade of Palm Sunday, but
there is still so much work that is
ahead of us," said Penrose. She
praised significant accomplishments
within the I~st 30 years saying, "At
this time, we associate Gay with
Marriage and not Gay with AIDS.
Diversity 2005 will feature an even bigger parade, more live entertainment by
our local stars, more gaines and fun for
the kids, and more activities for youth.
Even though these three groups are
pulling together there is much still to
do. Volunteers, sponsors, and colnmunity chairs are needed to help make the
day a success. The next volunteer planning meeting takes place April 2 at
10:00 a.m. atthe GLBT community

�Interview with a Board Member."
Christina Elder
Christina Elder was elected last month to f!ll an empO~ chair
on TOHR’s Board of Directors. Christina is also TOHR’s
new Vohmteer Coordinator.
TORCH." Where did you grow up? Where is’ homeJbr you?
CE: I moved to Tulsa when I was 8 so this is definitely where
I call home.
TORCH." How did you become involved with TOHR?
CE: I started volunteering with TOHR in October of 2004
when I answered a cry for volunteers through an online support group. I jumped right in and began helping organize
TOHR’s public communications, sending emails and making
phone calls. I also suggested a number of changes I thought
would beneficial to the organization. In February, I received a
call asking me to take over as volunteer coordinator and in
March I was elected to the TOHR board.
TORCH." How is’ it coordinating TOHR’s volunteers?
CE: Honestly, I haven’t had to do much at this point. I have
scheduled some training dates this Spring. I am also signing
up new volunteers who are excited about what TOHR is doing
in our community. I think the biggest advantage of
my position is the opportunity to meet new, amazing people.
The hardest part so far: Convincing people that change is a
good thing.
CE: In addition to regular volunteer hours needed to keep
the Center open, Tulsa’s Diversity Celebration is coming
up this June 4-11. Everyday of that week will offer new
and exciting ways to take part in the celebrations. There is
something for everyone, everyday. Whether you like parties and parades or greeting and cleaning, I have something planned for you!
TORCH." And are there new ways in which people can vohmteer to help TOHR serve the community?
ing the LGBT community and
thanked them for their years of solitary service. Reverend Penrose used
a timeline to describe how churches
began to open up and new ministries
were founded to minister to the spiritual needs of the community, stating
"we were challenged to create a new
world." Reverend Chuck Breckenridge of Diversity Christian Fellowship International presided over the
communion portion of the service
with the very touching words: "we
say with Jesus, we have been waiting
for you," as the congregation joined
each other at the open communion
table. Mark Watkins, Minister of Liturgical Worship and the Arts at Fellowship Congregational Church UCC,
directed their choir in two musical
selections, with Victor Evans, Minister of Music at Community of Hope
UCC, accompanying them. Bishop
Rick Hotlingsworth, founder
of The Parish Church of Saint Jerome
thanked everyone for their attendance
and participation and gave the final
benediction and blessing. Justin
Schroeder, Young Adult Minister at
All Souls Unitarian Church was unable to attend due to prior commitments but sent word of support to the
united effort of all Tulsa inclusive
churches.

The events over the last year t~ave energized our community. Our allies are realizing that they must join us in our stand for equality. Steve Eberle organized a successthl fundralser at the Tulsa Summit Club. Individuals who have never previously donated to TOHR gave money and pledges. Look for a full report from
Steve in the next issue.
The state legislative session is always tense and tiffs year has been no exception.
Only three house members voted against a resolution to direct the public libraries
to restrict access to the book "King and King". This children’s book shows a
prince rejecting the princess in favor of a prince. TOHR continues to work to educate Northeast Oldahomans on the need for civil equality.
On behalf of the board I want to extend our sincere appreciation for those who
have supported TOHR tiffs past year. Those who attend the Diversity Gala wi!l
see how much support we have. These contributions reflect the confidence that the

tulsa glbt history project
Tulsa Oklahomans for Human Rights (TOHR) sponsored Tulsa’s first community
PRIDE picnic (now the Tulsa PRIDE Festival) in 1982 at Chandler Park. In
those years, socialization was very important and TOHR offered a useful way to
meet other GLBT people. The picnic featured activities such as softball, volleyball, and sack and high heel races. It was a true picnic in the sense that people
brought their own coolers, food and blankets and shared their experiences of
living in Tulsa during what was a very difficult time for the GLBT community.
This was just at the onset of the AIDS epidemic and many of those who participated in the first picnic have passed on. We honor their memories during
TOHR "s 25tt’ anniversary year, and the upcoming "Diversity Celebration 2005 Tulsa PRIDE!"
I moved to Tulsa in May 1981. I had just
out of the Navy and finished
graduate school, moving to Tulsa to go to
work for the same institution to which I
am still employed. Those were wonderful days for me. AIDS hadn’t reared its
deadly head as yet; the oil crunch hadn’t
caused scores of professionals to
move to greener pastures. OHR (what
was to become TOHR) had just been established here and it seemed to me that
all one had to say was "OHR is planning..." and people showed up by the hundreds--whether it was a picnic at Chandler Park, a baseball game at Henthorne,
or the Turn-About Show at the Homebuilders’ Association building. Everyone
wanted to be there.
The first picnic took place summer 1982.
I remember it was hot (no shock I’m
sure), but many were pressed and
dressed--remember preppy was in. We
all seemed so young (we were actually)
and nothing seemed impossible. Dennis i
Neill and TOHR officers had created a
venue whereby gay people from all over
Green Country could gather and celebrate their hard-won individuality. The Stonewall Riots were a very recent
memory then and the gay community seemed to feel part of the fabric of America. I think we felt good about ourselves and hoped that the future would bring
other advancements in the cause of the rights of gay, bi-sexual, lesbian and transgendered people everywhere.
That first picnic may then be compared to other halcyon days in history--those
precious times prior to events that forever changed the fabric of society. We
were young, proud, and defiant--we had everything to gain and, we thought,
nothing to lose. The AIDS crisis was and is pure tragedy, but we have come
through it stronger, and even more defiant than before. Here’s to all those wonderful people from that first picnic--whether you’re still with us or whether your
spirit guides us from other plains of existence. We salute you.

returned to Harvard Divinity School
and received a Masters Degree in
Theology in 1999, Rice later moved
to New York City to work as a freelance documentary producer and editor.
In his public advocacy work, Rice
repeatedly bumped up against stubborn limits impeding efforts to hold
representatives accountable to our
nation’s core principles. He decided,
therefore, to run for office himself.
He says, "I am running for Senate to
represent my district in a manner that
has all of our resident’s interests in
mind, to counter the trends in local
government that disrespect the guidance of our constitution, and to represent values that are more broadly defined and inclusive than the often
closed-minded and self-righteous values we see and hear so much about
these days from certain sectors of our
society." Voters can learn more of
Rice’s positions and offer support by
