Description
Troy Pegg’s oral history traces his childhood in Riverton, Wyoming, and Brighton, Colorado, his close family relationships, school struggles, bullying, and early awareness of difference. He recalls college in Sterling and Fort Collins, his father’s death, an internship in Los Angeles, and first experiences with same-sex attraction and Denver/Boulder gay nightlife. Pegg describes coming out, finding community through bars such as Tracks, living a double life, and his mother’s loving response. His story highlights family care, class, grief, queer self-recognition, and the social worlds of gay men in late-1980s Colorado.
