  • Metro Councilor Tanya Collier
    Metro Councilor Tanya Collier District 9, 1986 to 1993 Oral History ca. 1993 Tanya Collier Metro Councilor, District 9 1986 – 1993 Tanya Collier was born in Tulare, California in 1946, and moved to Portland, Oregon with her family in 1950, where she attended a number of public grade schools, including West Gresham, Lane, Kelly, Binnsmead, and Kellogg, before enrolling in St. Anthony’s Catholic School. She graduated from John Marshall High School in southeast Portland, and went on to earn an Associate of Arts degree in Political Science at Clackamas Community College in 1973. In 1975, Ms. Collier earned a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Portland State University (PSU), and received a Master’s of Public Administration degree from PSU in 1979. Ms. Collier’s path to elected office was marked by both professional and voluntary activities in the public and non-profit sectors. Over a ten year period, she gained valuable experience in public policy development through her work as executive director of Multnomah County Children’s Commission (1976-1978); as staff assistant to Multnomah County Commissioner Barbara Roberts (1978); as special project manager at the City of Portland’s Bureau of Budget and Management (1980); and as assistant director and later, director of Multnomah County’s Department of Intergovernmental Relations and Community Affairs (1980-1983). In October 1983, she was hired as the general manager of Portland Energy Conservation, Inc. (PECI) – a non-profit corporation charged with implementing the private sector goals of the City of Portland’s Energy policy. In March 1985, Ms. Collier applied her special skills in group negotiation to her position as labor representative with the Oregon Nurses Association – a position she retained while holding elected office at Metro.

Since the late 1970s, the Republican Party has taken a stand against abortion and has worked through various routes of legislation to pass restrictions on access to the procedure. Oregon however, provides a different interpretation of this partisan debate. Though Oregon has seen both Republican and Democratic leadership in all houses of state government and pro-life conservative groups have lobbied to restrict the procedure, no abortion restriction has been passed in the state since the United States Supreme Court invalidated many state abortion bans in 1973.

  • A Place at the Table Some Snapshots of the Oregon LGBTQ Movement’S History
    A Place at the Table Some snapshots of the Oregon LGBTQ movement’s history By George T. Nicola Last updated 11-16-2017 By the LGBTQ movement, we mean the movement that advocates that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) persons be treated equally and with the same dignity as heterosexual and cisgender people. This includes non- discrimination and non-bias based on sexual orientation and gender identity. A Place at the Table ● A GLAPN 11/16/2017 1 Presentation By the mid 1960s, the City of Portland had abandoned its efforts to close all the gay bars in the city limits. The bars were not well identified, but gay men and lesbians who could locate them felt relatively secure within their walls. Darcelle XV Showplace in Still, given the hostility of the city government, those who downtown Northwest Portland opened gay bars were very courageous. One of those people, Walter Cole, bought a bar in Old Town, Northwest Downtown in 1967 and welcomed a mixed but primarily lesbian clientele. The bar was originally named Demas Tavern, but changed its name to Darcelle XV Showplace for Walter Cole on the right, with Walter’s drag persona.
