Description
David Ford’s two-part oral history traces his life from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Colorado College and Colorado LGBTQ community life, centered on family, friendship, coming out, mental health, and self-acceptance. He discusses a supportive childhood, bicycles, cars, photography, Boy Scouts, high school crushes, depression, suicidal thoughts, and the loneliness of growing up without visible gay role models. Ford reflects on moving to Colorado Springs in 1968, researching homosexuality, coming out to a roommate and then his parents, early counseling, family support, and the gradual process of building an openly gay life.
