Description

Cole Hart’s oral history traces her life from Nashville and Texas to military service and Colorado, centered on evangelical Christianity, sexuality, family, education, and identity. She discusses growing up in the Church of the Nazarene, gifted education, family therapy, purity culture, first crushes on women, coming out, Oxford, massage therapy, Catholicism, and spiritual deconstruction. Hart reflects on lesbian community in Nashville, serving in the Army during Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, Arabic language training, Fort Bragg, graphic design, and moving to Colorado. Her story highlights faith, shame, resilience, military life, queer self-discovery, and rebuilding identity beyond religious constraint.
