REPRESENT YOURSELF!
Tulsa Oklahomans for Human Rights, along with Soulforce in Oklahoma and PFLAG Tulsa marched in the Martin
';. • Luther King Jr. Parade last month.
.
Nearly a 4 hour wait to cross the starting line (lined up
;• f- .directly behind a Boy Scouts float-see page 5 for related
~ •• ! _,_ • story) the TOHR float "Visualize Equality" was hard to miss
as it reached 12' in the air, took up the width of the street
•~~:i:::' and fluttered in the wind-thanks to the use of the largest
--··~i pride flag in the state.
Thanks to the all who marched in the MLK Parade and
helped with construction the day before the Parade.
And-make plans to take the day
ff and represent yourself at next
ear's MLK Parade.

GLBT AGING GENERATIONS
At least one to three million Americans over 65 years of age are gay, lesbian, or bisexual
The number and proportion of GLBT elders will increase significantly over the next few decades, along with the overall elder population. By 2030, one in five Americans will be 65 or older.
Roughly four million will be GLB. About five percent of elder women, and four.-------------..
percent of elder men, have never married in their lifetime. It is likely that many
G LB
T AG/NG
of them are gay or lesbian and that many GLBT people are not counted I this
statistic because they had been legally married to an opposite-sex partner at
GENERATIONS
some point in their life. National voter exit polls in 1998 report that 8.3 percent
of the GLB electorate is 65 years and older. The population estimates above

Racial and ethnic diversity among GLB people mirrors
that of the general population.
POPULATION. EVERYONE IS
INVITED TO PARTICIPATE
AND GET INVOLVED.
There is little research on people of color, seniors, sexual orientation and
gender identity. However, we can point out some available data. Voter exit
MEETING AT THE TULSA
polls show that GLBT people are distributed proportionately among racial
categories. In medium and large sized cities voter exit polls report that: 17% GLBT COMMUNITY CENTER of GLB voters are African American, while the overall African American elecA HOME FOR EVERYONE/
torate is 16%, five percent of the urban GLB vote is Latino (5.6% overall).
U.S. Census Bureau data from 1990 show that: 16 percent of all Americans
FEB. 14@ 7PM
over 65 years of age are ethnic minorities, while 84% are white, non-Hispanic.
FEB. 28@ 7 PM
Of this group eight percent are African American, five percent Latino, two percent Asian and Pacific Islander and less than one percent Native American ... --------------•
By 2050, it is expected that 66% of seniors will be white, non-Hispanic; 16%
will be Latino, ten percent Black, seven percent Asian Pacific Islander and one percent Native American.
•
GLBT Elders may be more likely to face poverty and economic insecurity.
Gay men and lesbians face income discrimination. Gay men earn as much as 27% less than heterosexual men.
Lesbians and heterosexual women have little income difference, but women as a category persistently make significantly
less than their male counterparts. Income discrimination coupled with the lack of legal recognition of same-sex partners
has serious economic consequences for GLBT elderly. Social Security pays survivor benefits to widows and widowers,
but not to the surviving same-sex partner of someone who dies. This may cost GLBT elders $124 million a year in unaccessible benefits.
The above is a portion of: Outing Age: Public Policy Issues Affecting Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Elders, a
report by the Policy Institute of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Foundations Aging Initiative.

Surprises are called surprises for a rea
son - they catch you off guard.
The recent Martin Luther King Jr. Parade
held surprises for two very different groups.
The TOHR contingent arrived at the pa •
rade staging area only to realize we were lined1
up directly behind a Boy Scout of America en-:~.
try.
'
TOHR members viewed this as an op
portunity for education. After all, we all
were participating in the Martin Luther King~
parade together.
However, to the leaders of the Bo
Scout troop - it was an opportunity
teach hate. Upon realizing who was behin
them in the line-up, scout leaders worked fo
nearly 30 minutes to move their truck to the
empty adjacent lane (space was very limited with approximately 3 feet between entries), but they didn't stop there.
"GETAWAY FROM THAT NASTY TRUCK" the leaders told their troops after a few of the scouts wandered around
the huge flag admiring the flowing colors.
Now, we all know the Boy Scouts of America hate the GLBT community. Yes, hate is the appropriate word - you
hate what you fear and obviously these leaders fear our community. (to be fair, it could be a phobia of trucks or large
pieces of cloth, but somehow that seems doubtful).
But c'mon - teaching hate at the Martin Luther King Parade?
Sad, isn't it.

ALLOWS ALL ACCESS
TO THE WORLD!
-----------------------------.
NEW COMPUTER SYSTEM INSTALLED
THANKS TO THE GILL FOUNDATION
TOHR recently completely a year of partnership with the Denver based Gill
Foundation through the OutGiving lnCommunity project. OutGiving provided over
25 local non-profits access to fundraising and structuring seminars during 2001.
One aspect of the partnership between the Gill Foundation and Tulsa Oklahomans for Human Rights was the inclusion of a brand new computer system including hardware, software, scanner, and two (2) new computers w/ monitors.
This enables TOHR to be more efficient in all aspects of the management of
the organization.
Thanks to the Gill Foundation for making 2001 the best year TOHR has experienced! (and Hi to Russell, Patty, Janet, and all the faculty and staff at the Gill.
You can now access the web at
the CyberQueer Lounge in the Tulsa
GLBT Community Center!
The lounge (where the fireplace
is located) is being transformed into
the CyberQueer Lounge. Walls have
been taken down, new carpet has
been donated and will soon be laid
and many more improvements are
soon on the way.
Access to the web, via two stations, is available to the public in the
lounge. Those using the stations are
asked to observe the regulations as
well as encouraged to limit your time
on the net to one ( 1) hour so that others might be able to access the web.
The CyberQueer Lounge is open
during the Center's hours: M-F: 69:00 PM and Saturday: 12-9:00 PM

REPRESENT YOURSELF!
Tulsa Oklahomans for Human Rights, along with Soulforce in Oklahoma and PFLAG Tulsa marched in the Martin
';. • Luther King Jr. Parade last month.
.
Nearly a 4 hour wait to cross the starting line (lined up
;• f- .directly behind a Boy Scouts float-see page 5 for related
~ •• ! _,_ • story) the TOHR float "Visualize Equality" was hard to miss
as it reached 12' in the air, took up the width of the street

GLBT AGING GENERATIONS
At least one to three million Americans over 65 years of age are gay, lesbian, or bisexual
The number and proportion of GLBT elders will increase significantly over the next few decades, along with the overall elder population. By 2030, one in five Americans will be 65 or older.
Roughly four million will be GLB. About five percent of elder women, and four.-------------..
percent of elder men, have never married in their lifetime. It is likely that many
G LB
T AG/NG
of them are gay or lesbian and that many GLBT people are not counted I this
statistic because they had been legally married to an opposite-sex partner at
GENERATIONS
some point in their life. National voter exit polls in 1998 report that 8.3 percent
of the GLB electorate is 65 years and older. The population estimates above

Racial and ethnic diversity among GLB people mirrors
that of the general population.
POPULATION. EVERYONE IS
INVITED TO PARTICIPATE
AND GET INVOLVED.
There is little research on people of color, seniors, sexual orientation and
gender identity. However, we can point out some available data. Voter exit
MEETING AT THE TULSA
polls show that GLBT people are distributed proportionately among racial
categories. In medium and large sized cities voter exit polls report that: 17% GLBT COMMUNITY CENTER of GLB voters are African American, while the overall African American elecA HOME FOR EVERYONE/
torate is 16%, five percent of the urban GLB vote is Latino (5.6% overall).
U.S. Census Bureau data from 1990 show that: 16 percent of all Americans
FEB. 14@ 7PM
over 65 years of age are ethnic minorities, while 84% are white, non-Hispanic.
FEB. 28@ 7 PM
Of this group eight percent are African American, five percent Latino, two percent Asian and Pacific Islander and less than one percent Native American ... --------------•
By 2050, it is expected that 66% of seniors will be white, non-Hispanic; 16%
will be Latino, ten percent Black, seven percent Asian Pacific Islander and one percent Native American.
•
GLBT Elders may be more likely to face poverty and economic insecurity.
Gay men and lesbians face income discrimination. Gay men earn as much as 27% less than heterosexual men.
Lesbians and heterosexual women have little income difference, but women as a category persistently make significantly
less than their male counterparts. Income discrimination coupled with the lack of legal recognition of same-sex partners
has serious economic consequences for GLBT elderly. Social Security pays survivor benefits to widows and widowers,
but not to the surviving same-sex partner of someone who dies. This may cost GLBT elders $124 million a year in unaccessible benefits.
The above is a portion of: Outing Age: Public Policy Issues Affecting Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Elders, a
report by the Policy Institute of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Foundations Aging Initiative.

Surprises are called surprises for a rea
son - they catch you off guard.
The recent Martin Luther King Jr. Parade
held surprises for two very different groups.
The TOHR contingent arrived at the pa •
rade staging area only to realize we were lined1
up directly behind a Boy Scout of America en-:~.
try.
'
TOHR members viewed this as an op
portunity for education. After all, we all
were participating in the Martin Luther King~
parade together.
However, to the leaders of the Bo
Scout troop - it was an opportunity
teach hate. Upon realizing who was behin
them in the line-up, scout leaders worked fo
nearly 30 minutes to move their truck to the
empty adjacent lane (space was very limited with approximately 3 feet between entries), but they didn't stop there.
"GETAWAY FROM THAT NASTY TRUCK" the leaders told their troops after a few of the scouts wandered around
the huge flag admiring the flowing colors.
Now, we all know the Boy Scouts of America hate the GLBT community. Yes, hate is the appropriate word - you
hate what you fear and obviously these leaders fear our community. (to be fair, it could be a phobia of trucks or large
pieces of cloth, but somehow that seems doubtful).
But c'mon - teaching hate at the Martin Luther King Parade?
Sad, isn't it.

-----------------------------.
NEW COMPUTER SYSTEM INSTALLED
THANKS TO THE GILL FOUNDATION
TOHR recently completely a year of partnership with the Denver based Gill
Foundation through the OutGiving lnCommunity project. OutGiving provided over
25 local non-profits access to fundraising and structuring seminars during 2001.
One aspect of the partnership between the Gill Foundation and Tulsa Oklahomans for Human Rights was the inclusion of a brand new computer system including hardware, software, scanner, and two (2) new computers w/ monitors.
This enables TOHR to be more efficient in all aspects of the management of
the organization.
Thanks to the Gill Foundation for making 2001 the best year TOHR has experienced! (and Hi to Russell, Patty, Janet, and all the faculty and staff at the Gill.
You can now access the web at
the CyberQueer Lounge in the Tulsa
GLBT Community Center!
The lounge (where the fireplace
is located) is being transformed into
the CyberQueer Lounge. Walls have
been taken down, new carpet has
been donated and will soon be laid
and many more improvements are
soon on the way.
Access to the web, via two stations, is available to the public in the
lounge. Those using the stations are
asked to observe the regulations as
well as encouraged to limit your time
on the net to one ( 1) hour so that others might be able to access the web.
The CyberQueer Lounge is open
during the Center's hours: M-F: 69:00 PM and Saturday: 12-9:00 PM

REPRESENT YOURSELF!
Tulsa Oklahomans for Human Rights, along with Soulforce in Oklahoma and PFLAG Tulsa marched in the Martin
';. • Luther King Jr. Parade last month.
.
Nearly a 4 hour wait to cross the starting line (lined up
;• f- .directly behind a Boy Scouts float-see page 5 for related
~ •• ! _,_ • story) the TOHR float "Visualize Equality" was hard to miss
as it reached 12' in the air, took up the width of the street
•~~:i:::' and fluttered in the wind-thanks to the use of the largest
--··~i pride flag in the state.
Thanks to the all who marched in the MLK Parade and
helped with construction the day before the Parade.
And-make plans to take the day
ff and represent yourself at next
ear's MLK Parade.

GLBT AGING GENERATIONS
At least one to three million Americans over 65 years of age are gay, lesbian, or bisexual
The number and proportion of GLBT elders will increase significantly over the next few decades, along with the overall elder population. By 2030, one in five Americans will be 65 or older.
Roughly four million will be GLB. About five percent of elder women, and four.-------------..
percent of elder men, have never married in their lifetime. It is likely that many
G LB
T AG/NG
of them are gay or lesbian and that many GLBT people are not counted I this

AND GET INVOLVED.
There is little research on people of color, seniors, sexual orientation and
gender identity. However, we can point out some available data. Voter exit
MEETING AT THE TULSA
polls show that GLBT people are distributed proportionately among racial
categories. In medium and large sized cities voter exit polls report that: 17% GLBT COMMUNITY CENTER of GLB voters are African American, while the overall African American elecA HOME FOR EVERYONE/
torate is 16%, five percent of the urban GLB vote is Latino (5.6% overall).
U.S. Census Bureau data from 1990 show that: 16 percent of all Americans

over 65 years of age are ethnic minorities, while 84% are white, non-Hispanic.
FEB. 28@ 7 PM
Of this group eight percent are African American, five percent Latino, two percent Asian and Pacific Islander and less than one percent Native American ... --------------•
By 2050, it is expected that 66% of seniors will be white, non-Hispanic; 16%
will be Latino, ten percent Black, seven percent Asian Pacific Islander and one percent Native American.

GLBT Elders may be more likely to face poverty and economic insecurity.
Gay men and lesbians face income discrimination. Gay men earn as much as 27% less than heterosexual men.
Lesbians and heterosexual women have little income difference, but women as a category persistently make significantly
less than their male counterparts. Income discrimination coupled with the lack of legal recognition of same-sex partners
has serious economic consequences for GLBT elderly. Social Security pays survivor benefits to widows and widowers,
but not to the surviving same-sex partner of someone who dies. This may cost GLBT elders $124 million a year in unaccessible benefits.
The above is a portion of: Outing Age: Public Policy Issues Affecting Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Elders, a
report by the Policy Institute of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Foundations Aging Initiative.

Surprises are called surprises for a rea
son - they catch you off guard.
The recent Martin Luther King Jr. Parade
held surprises for two very different groups.
The TOHR contingent arrived at the pa •
rade staging area only to realize we were lined1
up directly behind a Boy Scout of America en-:~.
try.
'
TOHR members viewed this as an op
portunity for education. After all, we all
were participating in the Martin Luther King~
parade together.
However, to the leaders of the Bo
Scout troop - it was an opportunity
teach hate. Upon realizing who was behin
them in the line-up, scout leaders worked fo
nearly 30 minutes to move their truck to the
empty adjacent lane (space was very limited with approximately 3 feet between entries), but they didn't stop there.
"GETAWAY FROM THAT NASTY TRUCK" the leaders told their troops after a few of the scouts wandered around
the huge flag admiring the flowing colors.
Now, we all know the Boy Scouts of America hate the GLBT community. Yes, hate is the appropriate word - you
hate what you fear and obviously these leaders fear our community. (to be fair, it could be a phobia of trucks or large
pieces of cloth, but somehow that seems doubtful).
But c'mon - teaching hate at the Martin Luther King Parade?
Sad, isn't it.

NEW COMPUTER SYSTEM INSTALLED
THANKS TO THE GILL FOUNDATION
TOHR recently completely a year of partnership with the Denver based Gill
Foundation through the OutGiving lnCommunity project. OutGiving provided over
25 local non-profits access to fundraising and structuring seminars during 2001.
One aspect of the partnership between the Gill Foundation and Tulsa Oklahomans for Human Rights was the inclusion of a brand new computer system including hardware, software, scanner, and two (2) new computers w/ monitors.
This enables TOHR to be more efficient in all aspects of the management of
the organization.
Thanks to the Gill Foundation for making 2001 the best year TOHR has experienced! (and Hi to Russell, Patty, Janet, and all the faculty and staff at the Gill.
You can now access the web at
the CyberQueer Lounge in the Tulsa
GLBT Community Center!
The lounge (where the fireplace
is located) is being transformed into
the CyberQueer Lounge. Walls have
been taken down, new carpet has
been donated and will soon be laid
and many more improvements are
soon on the way.
Access to the web, via two stations, is available to the public in the
lounge. Those using the stations are
asked to observe the regulations as
well as encouraged to limit your time
on the net to one ( 1) hour so that others might be able to access the web.
The CyberQueer Lounge is open

Do you feel that you just can't relate to other lesbians?
Not a "tweener" but know who you are. Comfortable in
your relationship and with yourself. Being labeled a
Butch or a Femme doesn't bother you. Then you
need to join us. Meets on the 1st Saturday of the
month at the Tulsa GLBT Community Center at 7 PM.
