Text Any textual data included in the document Leo Treadway is most well-known for his leadership of Lutherans Concerned/North America; the development of the Wingspan Ministry at St. Paul-Reformation Lutheran Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, and through that context his educational and advocacy efforts across a broad expanse of church and society; his creation of the first programming for GLBT youth in Minnesota; and, more recently, his work with the Minnesota Historical Society to insure the preservation and archiving of Minnesota’s GLBT heritage.  While not ordained, Leo became active with the fledgling Lutherans Concerned for Gay People (later Lutherans Concerned/North America) within a month of their formation in the Twin Cities and represented them at the American Lutheran Church Assembly of Congregations in Detroit later that same year (1974). Leaving a marriage, he relocated to the Twin Cities and immediately immersed himself in the activities of the local LCGP chapter, eventually serving as chair of the chapter for several years.  Recognizing the need for expanded organizing at the national level (among gay and lesbian Lutherans), Leo eventually served as co-chair of Lutherans Concerned/North America with Pastor Anita Hill (later to become his colleague with St. Paul-Reformation’s Wingspan Ministry, and finally to be ordained in defiance of ELCA policy). During his tenure as national co-chair (1978-1982), Leo helped to expand LC/NA into an international organization with the recognition of Canadian GLBT Lutherans. He currently serves on a LC/NA Task Force that is developing a Partnership Project with GLBT Lutherans in Brazil.  The Reconciled In Christ Project was developed and implemented under his leadership and he assisted St. Paul-Reformation Lutheran Church in becoming its first registered congregation. A liturgist by avocation, Leo provided leadership and inspiration for the development of Orders for Worship, addressing the needs of both women and men, as well as addressing the positive faith experience of lesbians and gay men.  He collaborated with others to develop Creating Worship That Welcomes and Includes , a resource still available through LC/NA (including a Order of Service in Celebration of Coming Out, and several orders for the Celebration of Union). <img src="http://rollingthestoneaway.org/media/profile/leo-treadway/Pic%20Emcee%20for%20Queer%20Jeopardy%20late%201980s.jpg" />Emcee for Queer Jeopardy game on LGBT history & culture at AIDS conference in Minneapolis late 1980sAt local, national and international levels, Leo encouraged GLBT Lutherans to develop cooperative relationships with other GLBT religious organizations and his work led to the creation of the Lesbian and Gay Interfaith Council of Minnesota. Later, in his role as co-chair for LC/NA, Leo served as one of the founding members of the Lesbian and Gay Interfaith Alliance, a national organization committed to helping the many established and newly emerging GLBT religious groups to work, worship and advocate collaboratively. By 1981, Leo’s continuing work with the local LC/NA chapter in the Twin Cities led him to believe in the importance of finding a home congregation that would be fully welcoming of GLBT people, their friends and families and who would actively advocate on their behalf. That year became a year of "mission development" with St. Paul-Reformation Lutheran Church and resulted, the following year, in the establishment of the Wingspan Ministry.  Leo served as a Ministry Associate with the congregation and Wingspan for another 12 years. During that period, Leo successfully used that congregational base to provide active leadership in community organizing and development with Minnesota’s GLBT communities. In early 1982, working closely with Pastor Paul Tidemann (senior pastor at St. Paul Reformation), Leo helped the Minnesota Council of Churches to adopt their historic "Statement on Ministry To and With Gay and Lesbian Minnesotans." Although adopted by their board with a significant majority, this statement sparked a whirlwind of reaction, ending in the firing of the Council’s Executive Director. A few years later, secretive actions by another Executive Director quietly disavowed that the historic statement had ever really been adopted. In the meantime, church bodies and congregations all across Minnesota were given the opportunity to learn about, discuss, and argue over ministry with their GLBT sons and daughters. <img src="http://rollingthestoneaway.org/media/profile/leo-treadway/Pic%20at%20LCNA%20Assembly%201992.jpg" />At the Lutheran Church North America Assembly 1992Leo’s earlier involvement with the St. Paul Citizens for Human Rights campaign (1977-78) had paved the way for his commitment to advocacy for legal protections for Minnesota’s GLBT citizens. Twenty years of educational and organizing work, advocacy, and leadership led to the passage of statewide human rights protections, signed into law by the governor in 1993. During that journey, Leo served on three task forces appointed by successive Minnesota governors: The Governor’s Task Force on Prejudice and Violence that led to two new laws protecting Minnesotans from hate crimes and upgrading the penalties for such actions; The Governor’s Task Force on Lesbian and Gay Minnesotans, and later The Governor’s Task Force on Gay and Lesbian Minnesotans, both of which paved the way for full human rights protection. During service on all three task forces, Leo strongly advocated the use of public hearings throughout the state, for the first time allowing GLBT Minnesotans the opportunity to speak to state-appointed officials about their experiences with prejudice and discrimination. These hearings throughout Minnesota formed an enduring commitment for Leo to advocacy on behalf of GLBT citizens in small towns and cities all around Minnesota; and he was to become known for his unflagging commitment to helping such communities become recognized and represented in the state’s major GLBT organizations. <img src="http://rollingthestoneaway.org/media/profile/leo-treadway/Pic%20Introduces%20Marcelo%20Bischoff,%20international%20grand%20marshall%20Twin%20Cities%20Pride%201991.jpg" />Introducing Marcelo Bischoff, international grand marshal for Twin Cities Pride 1991 Through this community organizing Leo came to recognize the financial needs of many small and emerging GLBT organizations in the Twin Cities and, more broadly, throughout the state. In accepting the invitation to join the Headwaters Fund as Chair of its Grantmaking Committee, Leo committed the foundation to become increasingly more proactive in funding GLBT programs and projects. He left this volunteer position after achieving his goal and moved on to become involved with the Philanthrofund Foundation, a small foundation from within the GLBT community itself, where he again became involved in the grantmaking process. Before his departure from this board, he helped to design a more proactive outreach to small GLBT organizations in Minnesota and the Upper Midwest. When the HIV crisis hit Minnesota (in the early 1980s), this too became part of Leo’s ministry work through Wingspan.  Although he created and established the "Embrace Hope" series of prayer services for those affected by HIV, Leo is perhaps better remembered for chairing the effort that brought the NAMES Project Quilt to Minnesota during its first display tour of the nation. Leo developed other major efforts to bring public and community attention to the AIDS crisis, including the area premiere of Buddies and a widely publicized piece of guerrilla theatre involving Leo in protesting the restrictive policies being encouraged by the Berean League (a long time enemy to GLBT people in Minnesota). In a less confrontational setting, Leo also served on the HIV Task Force for the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Health (a group  whose primary task was to recommend levels of funding for HIV programs in the state). <img src="http://rollingthestoneaway.org/media/profile/leo-treadway/Pic%20with%202nd%20International%20Grand%20Marshal%20for%201993%20TC%20PRIDE%20Glademer%20Lorenzi.jpg" />With Glademer Lorenzi, international grand marshal for Twin Cities Pride 1993 In 1983, Leo began work on a long-time interest and helped to develop the state’s first established programming for GLBT youth, a weekly support group for which Leo provided leadership during the next decade.  From such a humble beginning, Leo was able to provide an enormous amount of training and advocacy for youth-serving organizations and professionals in Minnesota as well as nationally. He developed a high profile poster series on GLBT youth issues (still available from Wingspan Ministries) and managed to have these posters carried in buses throughout the Twin Cities. His work with GLBT youth, and on their behalf, led to his selection as a recipient for the McKnight Foundation Award in 1987. Yet he credits the high point of this portion of his career with the establishment of the Out 4 Good program in the Minneapolis School District--one of the first programs to help GLBT students, teachers, staff, and parents in the nation. As his career and ministry have aged, Leo has now turned his interests to the preservation and archiving of Minnesota’s GLBT population. In addition to donating an extraordinary amount of material to the Minnesota Historical Society, Leo helped them establish the GLBT Collections Working Group, a project he chaired until stepping down in 2003. Currently, Leo is working to establish regional GLBT Collections elsewhere in Minnesota. Despite his continuing commitment to build the MHS Collection, once again Leo is on the road traveling and visiting smaller GLBT communities in Minnesota--something for which he has a great passion.  With numerous articles and contributed chapters to his credit, Leo is now working on two books with a lesbian colleague--one a memoir style reporting of "critical moments in Minnesota GLBT history," and the second a photo essay, seeking to retain a visual memory of Minnesota’s GLBT community organizations and queer spaces.  Although now part of a passing generation of GLBT leadership, Leo has well over 1,000 speaking engagements to his credit, including his well-known Queer Jeopardy program on GLBT history. <img src="http://rollingthestoneaway.org/media/profile/leo-treadway/Pic%20with%20youth%201993%20March%20on%20Wash.jpg" />With Minnesota youth at 1993 March on WashingtonNow living in partial retirement from his previous demanding schedule on GLBT issues, Leo has committed a significant portion of his time helping to strengthen Minnesota’s Asian and Pacific Islander communities through leadership on the Planning Committee of the Dragon Festival. In 2003, Leo was the chief organizer for the Dragon Boat Races and was delighted to see the gay-identified Long Yang Club take first prize in their division.  But despite retirement, Leo continues to work on behalf of various causes which benefit minority communities.  Through his home congregation, Leo worked to help provide sanctuary, housing and support for a Nigerian immigrant family.  Additionally, he works with a new set of programs at St. Paul-Reformation:  Shear Grace (a free haircut program for homeless youth and families), and in partnership with The Sheridan Project (providing meal bags for school children unlikely to have sufficient food over the weekend).  He continues his board membership for AEDA (Asian Economic Development Association), which provides business loans for Asian-American businesses, while also supporting the local Asian American arts community and artists. Leo continues his commitment to GLBT youth, and is a regular speaker at a local St. Paul Middle School's program for GLBT students - some 80 in regular attendance.  For several years Leo collaborated with others in a project designed to raise funds and provide support for GLBT organizations in Uganda - while at the same time, raising awareness of their needs with Minnesota's GLBT communities.  Leo will be returning to Brazil in October 2018 to reestablish and strengthen connections with GLBT Lutherans in that country.  Leo was awarded the "Lifetime Achievement Award for a GLBT Individual" in 2018, by Reconciling Works, at their biennial Assembly in Minneapolis.   Leo is pictured with Squeaker, who appeared with Leo in an edition of "The Lutheran," becoming infamous in the process.  Even with these activities, Leo's current cat (Zazu) remains unimpressed and has made it quite clear that his primary responsibility should be as her minion!

Leonard and Roger (Donated by Marshall Campbell and Pacific Northwest Chapter, MFSA) Stole Text Given in Memory of Leonard and Roger Who grew up in United Methodist Churches, and left their churches for other faiths, but remained more friendly to Methodism than Methodism was to them. Denomination United Methodist Church Contribution Date 2000 Contribution Story This is one of four stoles (#675-677) given to us by the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the Methodist Federation for Social Action (MFSA). MFSA was founded in 1907 by several Methodist Episcopal clergy (including Frank Mason North, author of "Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life") to direct church attention to the enormous human suffering among the working class. Immediately the Federation became Methodism's unofficial rallying point for the Social Gospel and achieved in 1908 the adoption of the first denominational social creed. Today, the Federation unites activist United Methodists to promote action on the liberation issues confronting the church and society and to witness to the transformation of the social order that is intrinsic to the church's entire life, including its evangelism, preaching, counseling, and spirituality. As an independent organization, MFSA works primarily through the ministries of the United Methodist Church, supporting and augmenting peace and justice ministries at the local, conference, and national levels, calling the church to expand its understanding of the radical call of the Gospel to be the inclusive, justice-seeking, risk-taking Body of Christ.  These stoles were given to us in advance of the 2000 General Conference of the UnitedMethodistChurch in Cleveland, OH. In 1999, the Reconciling Ministries Network (RMN) inquired about the possibility of having a display of the Shower of Stoles at the General Conference the following April. At the time, there were only around twenty United Methodist stoles in the collection. We decided to introduce the Shower of Stoles to the Reconciling community by bringing the twenty UM stoles and about a hundred others to RMN’s Convocation in Denton, TX over the Labor Day weekend. Stoles started to trickle in during the fall, and by February they began coming in droves. In all, we received 220 United Methodist stoles – the vast majority of them arriving within eight weeks of the Conference. Thanks to a monumental effort by a number of volunteers who pitched in to help record, inventory, sew labels and make last-minute repairs, all of the new stoles were present in Cleveland. Twenty more people brought stoles directly to Cleveland, bringing the total number on display to 240. Towards the end of the General Conference, twenty eight lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender United Methodists and allies stood on the Conference floor in silent protest over the Conference’s failure to overturn the ban on LGBT ordination – a profound witness and act of defiance for which they were later arrested. As these twenty eight moved to the front of the room, another 200 supporters stood up around the balcony railing, each wearing one of the new United Methodist stoles. Hundreds more stood in solidarity as well, in the balcony and on the plenary floor, wearing symbolic “stoles” made from colorful bands of cloth. A group of young people from Minneapolis, members of a Communicant’s Class, had purchased bolts of cloth the preceding evening and stayed up all night cutting out close to a thousand of these “stoles.” In less than eight months, a handful of stoles had grown to become a powerful, visible witness to the steadfast faith of LGBT United Methodists nationwide.

Towards the end of the General Conference, twenty eight lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender United Methodists and allies stood on the Conference floor in silent protest over the Conference’s failure to overturn the ban on LGBT ordination – a profound witness and act of defiance for which they were later arrested. As these twenty eight moved to the front of the room, another 200 supporters stood up around the balcony railing, each wearing one of the new United Methodist stoles. Hundreds more stood in solidarity as well, in the balcony and on the plenary floor, wearing symbolic “stoles” made from colorful bands of cloth. A group of young people from Minneapolis, members of a Communicant’s Class, had purchased bolts of cloth the preceding evening and stayed up all night cutting out close to a thousand of these “stoles.” In less than eight months, a handful of stoles had grown to become a powerful, visible witness to the steadfast faith of LGBT United Methodists nationwide.

The two women said that this week they seek to obtain a civil marriage license at the clerk of court’s office in Baton Rouge. They said they expect to be denied the license and that they will then launch a court fight to obtain legal recognition for marriages of their type. The ceremony, which included communion and exchange of rings, was performed by the Rev. Ron Anderson from the Metropolitan Community Church in Ft. Worth, Tex. A spokesman for the church said it was founded in 1968 in Los Angeles and that there are now about 60 congregations in North America and Europe. The Sunday ceremony was the 10th such service performed at the church in New Orleans, members said. Both women have lived in Baton Rouge since 1969. Miss Hulsey is a native of Oklahoma and Miss Vallani is a native of Louisiana. They met about a year ago, they said. Miss Hulsey said she was once married to a man but that marriage was annulled.

Though he lived with a partner for 37 years, he has been warmly accepted by his rather conservative congregation. Denomination Presbyterian Church (USA) Contribution Date 1995 Contribution Story This is one of twelve stoles donated by Merrill Proudfoot to honor friends and colleagues. Lester was a friend of mine as well. Part of an older generation (he was in his 70's when I first met him), he was an example of so many whom the church has treated with a double standard. It was quite obvious that his partner was more than just a "roommate" for 37 years. However, as long as Lester was willing not to talk openly about their relationship, the church was more than willing to take full advantage of his many musical and administrative gifts -- even to ordain him as an elder -- while at the same time voting to maintain the ban on LGBT ordination in presbytery.

From May until July I lost twenty pounds and by the time I left for Israel both my legs had picked up some severe reaction to something. One of the drugs which my doctor prescribed gave me a hallucigenic reaction and for a couple of weeks I lost all bearings - barely making it through the Shabat service when I observed yahrzeit for my father. Now, at least, my weight is stablized - although I must start a tremendous effort to regain weight and I am on a maintance dosage of cordisone until I return to New York. The doctor here said he never saw anything like what has attacked my legs and after hearing the total situation suggested admittance into a hospital for two-three months of test.

Text Any textual data included in the document 26 February 1961 Keith Wedmore: Dear Friend, Thank you for your letter to George Gorman dated 21 February. I am more touched than I can say at the kindness and warmth of your response to my comments. So touched that I will buy a new ribbon before I next write that your aching eyes be not strained beyond bearing in efforts to decipher my comments. If you and the QCH (& OPS of course) think that similar comments on the rest of the drafts would be useful, I will gladly do my best. But you must bear in mind that comments of an "interested party" who has not had the benefit of your discussions is bound to be not merely biased but (to some extent) ill-informed. You will please to make allowances accordingly. I propose to address future letters to you as I find it easier to write 'Don't you think' rather than 'I wonder if the committee has considered'. I think that I would rather continue to send them through George, However--this is strictly confidential and for yourself only, not for the committee--I will not rule out altogether the possibility of my journeying from Chevy Chase (where I am writing, as you will know, border ballads and Elizabethan love songs) to London if it would really be useful in pulling the draft into shape. At the moment I feel extremely critical of it. That brings me to the question: What is the draft. I returned to George the mimeographed Parts 8 and 10 which he let me see in September. Since then I have received the following which I have letters (since the QCH has no Helpful Symbols on the documents):-- A containing Part I (Introduction) 3 pages Part 10 though no to marked (How can help be given?) 2 pages, p.2 being numbered 10 Part 2 (Heterosexuality) 4 pages Part 8 (Homosexuality and the law) being your revise. 8 pages Part 11 (Summary) 1 page B containing Part 5 (Perversions) 2 pages Part 6 (Origins of sexual behavior) 10 pages C containing Part 3 (Homosexuality) I gather that this is all I ought to have, but what is "the later printed revision of Part 8: or do you mean 'duplicated' and therefore the draft in DOCUMENT A? And 'Homosexuality' was Part 5 in your synopsis (letter 4 November 1960): why is it now 3? These are not meant to be captious questions, but I can't use what little intelligence I have on the draft unless I can related each chapter to the book as a whole. While are on the book as a whole can I put in more more plea for a uniform prose--dignified, vigorous, lively, but unfascetious. I know that you said (4 November again) that 'a deadpan article on sex--yet another, let's face it--could be terribly dull'. I agree. Dullness is a perennial danger of drafting documents by the committee method. But the way to avoid it (it seems to me) is to entrust the re-writing of the book to a single individual once the drafts are agreed for content. Naturally the QCH would have to re-vet the rewritten document, but at the moment the changes in style between one part and another are unhelpful. I want a vigorous book, but I also want one that moves with dignity so that is can have effective powers of persuasion. Some of the asides in some of the drafts still seem to me cheap and unworthy and all too likely to defeat what I take to be QCH's intention. Now for Part 3. I am mercifully ignorant of who drafted this. I assume from your letter it wasn't you, but even if it was, I judge from your letters that you are charitable enough to forgive me if I say that it seems to me completely shapeless, with a lot of irrelevancies and non-sequiturs, and with half of it utterly out of place. But I do realize that it is a first draft. Almost the whole of (c) belongs, I should have thought, in Part 9; and I do not therefore propose to discuss it in detail now. Surely the purpose of this chapter is to do the following: 1, Define homosexuality--it is necessary to explain that it does not mean 'the practicing of homosexual acts' (several rather well-informed people have told me that it does). It is also supposed that it derives from the Latin and has something to do with men, and an explanation of the Greek tongue might be useful, followed by an explanation that as the word 'Lesbianism' is commonly used for female homosexuality, the word 'h/s' in this book will be understood to mean 'male h/s;. 2. Differentiate between h/s and preoccupation with small boys. I know that this is in all sorts of places, but it does need saying and driving home (the Nancy Mitford quotation on 0 5 is unhelpful as it can rather easily be misunderstood). 3. Give supposed percentages (as on p.2) and refer to the wide variety of physical types, etc., to be found--the sentences 'It is commonly..unassailable' (p. 4) belong to this. 4. Deal with merely physical h/s in adolescence (some of pages 2 and 3 come in, but the treatment of this as it stands is confusing (a) physical adolescent h/s whether individual or 'orgy-like'. (b) emotional adolescent involvement, which is what the Radcliffe Hall passage is about, (c) seduction of an adolescent by an older man--the passage beginning 'seduction, then' is out of place as the drafter hasn't discussed the problem) 5. The incidence of h/s in present-day Britain. There my be some other points, but I think that the chapter should stick to facts, so far as anybody is prepared to accept that anything on this subject is fact.I think that my first notes (of which I hadn't kept a copy) urged strongly that the book should move steadily along the lines of reasonably accepted facts until it came to Part Nine--though I had prepared my own imaginary synopsis at that stage. I still hold that view. This is probably enough for a first shot. Without going through Parts (a) and (b) in detail, I am prepared to take a few detailed pot-shots:-- p. 1. 'one can no more deplore...' A poor parallel since most grass is green and only the minority pinl, while most people are hetero and only the minority homo. I want a dignified (see 1 above) not a flippant reference to the dictionary. p. 4 A.P. Herbert. Again, an unhelpful parallel, and there are too many quotations anyway--as bad as Robert Davis's pamphlets or certain Swarthmore lectures. OUT. p. 4 'have been actually prosecuted." Actually presupposes surprise, e.g.:-'George Gorman has actually been stick on procedure' 'Anon has actually had a fit of generosity'. The drafter means simply: 'were prosecuted'. 'Alert readers' is poor too: you can be alert and have a poor memory; or you can be alert and miss 'The Times' for a week while in Brittany (even Anon can't remember who the Junior Minister was)). And in any case I think it is dangerous to bolster as case by arguing from cases of h/s offences other than those in private. p. 6 'A well known Quaker'. I just cannot see that this follows from the sentence before. I could understand it if it read: "A well known Quaker pacifist long and successfully concealed his homosexuality and once told a member of our group that, were it known, it would immediately undo all the work he had been able to do for promoting greater understanding between nations and races.' Does it mean that? This is really quite enough. You and the QCH will, I hope, realize that these criticisms stem from a fundamental respect and interest in the draft. If I didn't think it could be a good book I wouldn't trouble to criticize.

Text Any textual data included in the document Wennington School, Wetherby, YORKS 13th October, 1962. George H. Gorman Friends' Home Service Committee, Friends' House, Euston Road, London, N.W. 1 Dear George, In the course of a letter from Anna Bidder I note that you are going to allow until the middle of November for the final preparation of our report, but I wonder whether you can fix the publication date? The reason for this is that the people in charge of B.B.C. television religious broadcasting have been waiting for about a twelve-month with great eagerness for this report and want to arrange a Sunday evening television broadcast for three or four members of our committee the moment the report is published. Oliver Hunkin (Assistant Head of the Department, whom I know very well) has been prodding me for a long time and now he asks whether he could be reasonably certain of using for this purpose the Meeting Point programme on Sunday, February 17th. The 3rd March is also a possibility but much less convenient. I gather from Anna Bidder also that publication by the Home Service Committee would depend upon the approval of two Readers; I wonder to what extend this makes the project uncertain? The report will quite as controversial as my articles in "The Friend" earlier this year and will follow much the same line in general; indeed it was the feeling that I was largely supported by the committee that made it possible for me to write as I did. It is a bit of a nuisance that the B.B.C. should want us to be definite in this way, but on the other hand if the Meeting Point programme that the B.B.C. arranges for us is well conducted--and I think Oliver Hunkin and I can see to it that it is--it should be good publicity for the Society of Friends in the eyes of people who are looking for a courageous and constructive lead in sexual matters, and personal relationships generally, from a section of the Christian church. /Continued... We have had broadcasts of Quaker Meetings occasionally but this broadcast would be a really vigorous and concentrated discussion on the Quaker approach to human problems. We should have to make it clear, of course, that it hadn't yet secured the official approval of the Society, but it was the work of people starting definitely with Quaker pre-suppositions.
