Description
Chester MacQuary recounts a life rooted in rural Colorado, political conscience, and queer self-understanding. Born in Granby in 1936, he describes poverty, family resilience, school, early awareness of male attraction, and finding language through Kinsey. His story follows college, National Guard service, growing antiwar politics, draft counseling, communal life in Denver, and work connected to alternative bookstores and peace activism. He also reflects on nuclear protest, beekeeping and small-scale agriculture with Donald, later friendship and partnership with Dan Leatherman, and aging in Fort Collins while maintaining commitments to community, sustainability, justice, and memory.
