Description
Donaciano was born and raised in Colorado Springs. His family lived in an area which would later be torn down for "urban renewal" to make America the Beautiful Park. He grew up seeing signs which said things like "No dogs or Mexicans allowed." He also grew up when gay men had few spaces to find each other and had only the "bars and the bushes." Donaciano grew up, went to college, and was a member of the Gay Liberation Front at Colorado College, later founded La Gente Unida, led efforts to pass Denver's first anti-discrimination ordinances, and is a life long Chicano activist.
