Description

Larry Wegner’s oral history traces his life from Yuma, Colorado, to Boulder, Denver, Los Angeles, and back, centered on music, performance, publishing, and gay community life. He recalls growing up as a talented pianist in a small farming town, coming out gradually through Boulder and Denver gay spaces, touring with entertainer Al Boring, and experiencing West Hollywood in the 1970s. Wegner discusses Denver bars, bathhouses, police harassment, early gay publications, the Colorado Directory, Out Front, business advertising, AIDS-era loss, and the growth of LGBTQ visibility, culture, and community infrastructure in Colorado.
