In 1994, the first LGBT History Month – then called Gay History Month – was celebrated with backing from prominent LGBT advocacy groups. Rodney Wilson founded the commemorative month while finishing grad school at University of Missouri-St. Louis. He also made another mark on history that year as the first openly gay K-12 teacher in Missouri. On the 30th anniversary of LGBT History Month, Wilson sat down with Danny Wicentowski to reflect on his impact as a history teacher in Missouri and abroad.

'Pride & Progress Bites' is a P&P mini-series. We have been releasing the Pride & Progress podcast for 3 years now, and the podcast is built on the belief that sharing your story can start a change. Stories are incredible powerful - even a short story has the power to start meaningful change. In each 'Pride & Progress Bite' we hear from an LGBT+ educator or ally, each sharing a short story of pride & progress from their own school or community. This Pride & Progress Bite comes from Rodney Wilson, the original founder of LGBT+ History Month, and Alessio Ponzio, from LGBT+ History Month Canada. They share with us the origins of History Month, what they have planned in their countries this year, and encouragements to start planning for LGBT+ History Month UK coming in February. If you have a bite-size story of pride & progress that you'd like to share in your own episode - get in touch - we'd love to hear from you. Share a story - Start a change. www.prideprogress.co.uk

In 1989, the groundbreaking musical “Some of my best friends are” hit the St Louis theater scene, becoming the first example of queer culture being openly depicted on a St. Louis stage. More than 30 years later, on October 20, much of the original cast reunited for a one-night reunion performance. The play's writer and co-creator, Joan Lipkin, reflects on the legacy of the production, and what connections she draws between the play's world of 1989 and today. We also listen to clips of the musical's songs “Hoosier Boy” and “There's a judge in my bedroom,” and we hear from Rodney Wilson, who attended the play as an audience member in 1989 and 2022.

One statistic that is not true is young adults leave the church and never come back. - Scott McConnellOur latest research was in 2021, and only 1.5% of pastors are stepping away from the pastorate in a year. - Scott McConnellWe tend to overinflate leaving rates (young adults and pastors). - Scott McConnellWe tend to want to toss out membership numbers these days because they aren't great, but they are still relevant and an important indicator - Scott McConnellWe are trying to understand the discipleship needs so we can help people take a step closer to Christ and to encourage them to spur one another on to love and good deeds. - Scott McConnellIf you are anything but a small congregation church you cannot cover all the discipleship needs for each person, so tools and assessments are going to be a great systematic tool. - Scott McConnellOne of the challenges we face in surveys is to ask about more than just actions, we try to get at their desires, heart issues, and beliefs. - Scott McConnellWe asked what statistically predicts a closer walk with God and found that praying for opportunities to share your faith with others moved into the top spot. - Scott McConnell29% of Americans indicate no religious preference/atheist/agnostic and that percentage has gone up 1% every year for the past decade. - Scott McConnellWe spend significant time studying other world religions statistically, if we are about maximizing, then we need to be spending at least as much time reaching the atheist or agnostic. - Zach Zehnder People, whether they are followers of another religion or no religion, still have core human needs and if we can be sharing the gospel in a way that points to Jesus and how he satisfies in a way that no other source can, that's our opportunity. Scott McConnellThe numbers you see from statistics never tell the whole story. If the numbers look impossible, the Holy Spirit is still working. - Scott McConnellPeople that are in a small group on a weekly basis are more likely to read their Bible, serve within and outside the church, tithe, and volunteer. - Scott McConnellA young person is 3.5 more times to stay in church if at least three adults poured into them at a young age and they can name them. - Scott McConnellYoung people's failures tend to be those that we pass on to them or reactions to the previous generation. - Scott McConnellAs parents, one of the biggest encouragement you can give is to keep engaging with your teens and trying even if you are only getting one word back. - Scott McConnellScott McConnell's Challenge of the week: Have a short conversation with God about opportunities that you can have this week to share your faith.

Hidden Lives and Secret Loves” for readers age 11 and up, honored as a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard selection. Lee's award-winning blog, I'm Here. I'm Queer.

Each day in October, a new LGBT Icon is featured with a video, bio, bibliography, downloadable images, and other resources. LGBT History Is History “LGBT History Month sends an important message to our nation's teachers, school boards, community leaders, and youth about the vital importance of recognizing and exploring the role of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people in American history." Background In 1994, Rodney Wilson, a Missouri high school teacher, believed a month should be dedicated to the celebration and teaching of gay and lesbian history, and gathered other teachers and community leaders. They selected October because public schools are in session and existing traditions, such as Coming Out Day (October 11), occur that month. Celebrate Our Heritage The LGBT community is the only community worldwide that is not taught its history at home, in public schools, or in religious institutions. LGBT History Month provides role models, builds community, and makes the civil rights statement about our extraordinary national and international contributions. https://lgbthistorymonth.com/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/queervoicez/support

Rodney Wilson is an author, teacher, and the founder of LGBT history month. Growing up in a small town in Missouri, the message he and others heard was that gays and lesbians were "damaged goods" and so dangerous that they should not be allowed in the classroom. But Rodney’s thirst for knowledge and calling was louder, leading him to obtain multiple degrees in education and becoming a teacher. Then a few years later on a continuing education trip to Washington DC, he came across some history that changed his life. This led to him coming out to his students during a history lesson that forever changed the world.

Featuring... ​ Rodney Wilson - Gay history teacher who came out to his students in 1994 and founded October's LGBTQ History Month in the U.S. talks about what it was like to come out at a time when gay people had barely any rights, and the backlash he received as a result. Rodney was teaching in Missouri at the time and is the subject of a documentary short 'Taboo Teaching: A Profile of Missouri Teacher Rodney Wilson' (available on YouTube). 

“Mike’s Madonna Story” (November 5, 1985) Yep. We’re actually doing Growing Pains — specifically because of one scene in a first-season episode in which Kirk Cameron’s character tosses of the line “Maybe I’m gay.” It might seem small, but it’s crazy to consider the word “gay” even being spoken on this quintessential 80s family show, much less by a character played by a guy who’d shortly thereafter become a born-again Christianity and who’d eventually disclose some seriously homophobic views. Glen and Drew are joined in this episode by Dan Steadman, a writer and filmmaker who actually was friends with Kirk Cameron but, you know, isn’t anymore.

What We Heard:  Rodney Wilson, Pastoral Counselor at LifePoint Church in Smyrna, TN, reminds us that marriage takes work! There WILL be conflict. It’s not a question of ‘if’ it will happen but instead ‘how’ will we respond when it does happen. Married couples will face issues on many fronts. Some will seem very small and others will appear unresolvable. Are we prepared for the conflict? Rodney, who celebrates 40 years of marriage, gives several great insights to help us prepare for various conflicts we’ll face in marriage. The goal is ‘civil disagreement’, learning to be civil with one another as we walk through conflict resolution. One of the biggest battles we will face in reaching this goal will be our internal battle with an “I attitude”. We should always strive to take our eyes off of ourselves. It’s important to remember that “what we feed grows and what we starve dies” so we should starve selfishness, anger, lust, pride and other ungodly things. Rodney points out that men tend to have a fight or flight mentality when dealing with conflict resolution .It’s important for us to learn how to fight and how to step away from the conflict to create space to breathe and hopefully avoid responding out of emotion. Get the anger out of the conflict. Yelling to get your point across is NOT more clearly communicated or understood by your spouse, it’s only louder. This is also true for resolving conflict with children- get anger out of the conflict. Train them in the way they should go not in the way they want to go. What It Means  It will take energy, it can be hard work, but we must be intentional in preparing for conflict. There is so much at stake. How we invest today in our marriage will show up tomorrow, so we must invest wisely. What We Do Next:  Communicate, communicate, communicate! Speak honestly with your mate about whatever issue you’re facing and then allow space, a time to process. As conflicts arise, we should always be willing to say to our spouse, “I need your help with this”. This nurtures a feeling that you’re working together on the problem. Our leadership sets the tone for our homes so we should strive to be servant leaders, thinking of the other as more important. Final Takeaways:  We grow together as we walk together through conflict. How we resolve the ‘little’ conflicts will inform how we resolve the bigger conflicts.

Rodney Wilson teaches school at a community college in Missouri. He was the first openly-gay K-12 public school teacher in Missouri and founded LGBT History Month (October).  He has a master's degree in religion and history and he turned his master's thesis into a book, Killing God: Christian Fundamentalism and the Rise of Atheism. In it he analyzes the responses of 1,600 people who left religion for atheism. He found four primary factors that contributed to their "deconversion."   You may resonate.

Christian author and cultural critic Os Guinness' new book called "Fools Talk: Recovering the art of Christian persuasion" is aimed at helping Christians develop a confident and winsome approach to engaging those who are closed to faith. He engages with ex-evangelical Rodney Wilson who has researched the reasons why evangelical Christians lose their faith in his book "Killing God" as they discuss the cultural and doctrinal barriers to embracing Christian faith.
