You made your bed. Now lie in it.' I. INTRODUCTION "Outing" is the forced exposure of a person's same-sex orientation. While techniques used to achieve this end vary,2 the most visible examples of outing are employed by gay activists in publications such as The Advocate or OutWeek,4 where ostensibly, names are published to advance a rights agenda. Outing is not, however, confined to fringe media. The mainstream press has joined the fray, immortalizing in print "the love[r] that dare[s] not speak its name."' The rules of outing have changed since its national emergence in the early 1990s. As recently as March of 1995, the media forced a relatively unknown person from the closet.6 The polemic engendered by outing * Associate Professor of Law, University of Oklahoma College of Law.

  • A Historical Analysis of the Boise Gay Pride Celebration
    Visibility as Power: A Historical Analysis of the Boise Gay Pride Celebration Jennifer Edwards: McNair Scholar Dr. Jill Gill: Mentor Human Rights Studies This paper situates its analysis in a case study of the three watershed moments arising from the sixteen- year history of the Boise Pride Celebration. These moments reveal the impact that the tension between assimilation and liberation strategies have had in the birthing, changing, and shaping of both the Boise Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community’s struggles and its successes in becoming increasingly visible. Interviews and archival research demonstrate that the Pride Celebration originated in, grew and essentially thrived from this tension proving it necessary to transform the Boise LGBT community from a fearful, invisible minority functioning despite a conservative climate, into an increasingly visible, viable community and constituency. The balance between assimilation and liberation strategy, as evidenced by this case study, was and remains crucial to liberate and protect LGBT people from the threat and reality of legal discrimination and the de-humanizing stereotypes used to deny them their civil and human rights. Introduction A week before Boise’s first Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Pride Celebration, the assistant city attorney informed Parade organizers that their permit might be invalid unless certain conditions were met.1 To some, this might not seem like an issue. In June of 1990, however, Boise’s Pride organizers not only faced these untimely and unusual new permit regulations, they were also concerned with convincing the LGBT community to participate, despite fears of being shot and losing their jobs or family and friends, if recognized.2 The city’s new revelation, to chief organizers Ann Dunkin and Brian Bergquist, was one more obstacle Boise’s primarily invisible, scattered and silent LGBT community would have to overcome.

The group met in secret, and the members knew each other by pseudonyms or first names only. An unidentified lawyer was consulted by the members to provide legal advice on creating such a publication. By January 1953, they created ONE Magazine with the tagline “a homosexual viewpoint.” It was the first national LGBTQ magazine to openly discuss sexual and gender diversity, and it was a flashpoint for all those LGBTQ individuals who didn’t have a community to call their own. ONE has survived a number of major changes in the 60 years since those first meetings. It was a publisher, a social service organization, and a research and educational institute; it was the target of major thefts, FBI investigations, and U.S. Postal Service confiscations; it was on the losing side of a real estate battle and on the winning side of a Supreme Court case; and on a number of occasions, it was on the verge of shuttering… only to begin anew.
