Today I am really excited about an improvement I made to the Gay Orlando History web site. The SEARCH feature, which up until today had been broken, has now been SUPED UP! When you enter a word in the SEARCH box, it will now search the entire site, including the history timeline, gallery images, and some up until now hidden PDF's. This is really great news, because now when I scan in old newsletters and newspaper clippings, and use an Opitical Character Recognition program, you will be able to search text that is on the document electronically. Isn't technology AMAZING. So if you are interested in a certain person, place, or thing in our GLBT history, type it in and see what you find out. |

Starting today, we have activated a new feature at GayOrlandoHistory.com with the addition of ALUMNI GROUPS. Once you register for the site, you will have the option of joining an Alumni Group where you can post messages and communicate with other members of your group. If you are a former member, officer, or board of director of a GLBT group, wouldn't it be great to catch up with others, find out what they've been up to, and share memories? Thinking about hosting a GLBT reunion? I've lost track with soooo many people I used to be so involved with, and this feature should help us all connect again. Let me know if you would like me to add an Alumni Group for you. Of course, there is no charge to register with this site, and your email will never be sold or shared. |

When I first moved to Orlando, in 1979, at the young age of 18, and just starting the process of learning about what it was to be gay, I attended a meeting of the Tuesday night rap group. It was an interesting mix of closeted and out gay men, who spent a few hours talking about the issues of the day. It was at the rap group, that I first met Charlie Hogan, who served as its facilitator.
At the time, I don't think I appreciated the impact that the group would have on me, and the Orlando GLBT community. I was delighted to find that Charlie was one of the first to submit his memories to the Gay Orlando History & Archives, and I'm thrilled that he has joined the Come Out with Pride History committee. His memories, titled "Pride, Courage, and Memories" can be read by clicking HERE. Thank you Charlie, and to all the members of our community, who take the time to write and submit your memories. |
