Description
Scott Perrin’s oral history explores growing up gay in a restrictive Church of Christ family in suburban Denver, surviving childhood trauma, and finding escape through school, work, and Denver’s gay bars. He describes living a double life, coming out, family rejection framed as “I love you, but,” and the impact of religion on LGBTQ identity. Perrin also reflects on Denver’s LGBTQ nightlife, the AIDS crisis, marriage equality, chosen community, and the importance of self-acceptance. His story centers survival, justice, religious trauma, and the long process of claiming one’s own voice.
