For episode fifty, I spoke with Glenda Russell who is a historian of the LGBTQ movement as it has unfolded here in Boulder and Colorado and beyond. Glenda has had a long career as a clinical psychologist, educator, and writer and has a PhD in psychology from the University of Colorado at Boulder (’84). We talked about the struggle to get ‘sexual orientation’ included in Boulder’s human rights ordinance which was added in 1987 by means of a ballot measure that won by a very small margin after a similar ballot measure was crushed thirteen years earlier. This story includes many interesting characters including Penfield Tate who was a tireless human rights activist and for whom our municipal building is now named, Tim Fuller who was considered a more radical liberal who ran on a tenant’s rights platform, and Glenda herself who showed up at many contentious city council meetings during this time and started taking notes about what she witnessed. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Glenda Russell.
