Introduction On the evening of May 10th, 2007 Libbey Austin, a senior at Portland State University, met with Jerry Weller at his home in Southeast Portland, Oregon to discuss his life’s work as a gay and civil right’s political activist. Over the past several decades Jerry has been fundamental in initiating several organizations and has served on numerous boards and committees on both the local and national level. The interview lasted just over one hour, and a range of topics were discussed, including Jerry’s personal struggles with being gay in the 1960’s, the AIDS epidemic, and a timeline of keystone political action surrounding the gay movement in Washington DC as well as a description of the gay community in Portland, Oregon.

Jerry would you like to state your name for our recording? WELLER: My name is Jerry Weller. J-E-R-R-Y. Initial K. Weller. W-E-L-L-E-R. And I was born October 31st, 1948 which makes me fifty-eight years old. LA: Thank you very much. So, Jerry, would you mind, um, telling me a little about your upbringing? Your childhood? WELLER: I grew up in Pennsylvania in a suburb outside of Pittsburgh called Pen Hills. And, uh, knew I was gay from a very young age. But we didn’t even have the word gay to use at the time. And we had no role models. Um, and I, uh, dated girls all through high school and into college, and then in- while I was in college I started dealing with being gay. And this was the height of the anti-war movement; this was the sixties. Um, I was very involved in the anti-war movement and the alternative culture movement. And, Sex, drugs, and rock and roll- and the whole bit. I went to Penn State. And um, when I finally was comfortable with being gay, I dropped out of college and sent my draft board a letter- basically teasing them- uh, daring them to, uh draft me. And they immediately sent me in for a physical. And I had a letter from a psychiatrist saying I was gay- or homosexual as they said. And um, it was uh very uncomfortable. I knew no other gay people at the time. I had never had sex with any other male or knew no other gay people. Um, it was a very uncomfortable situation- the entire draft physical. When they found out that I was gay, I was pointed out and picked on and treated horribly. And then at the very end of the- it lasted all day long- and then at the very end of the day you go through a room and the commander shakes your hand and says ‘welcome to the army’ 2 Weller SR 11124 and ‘welcome to the army’ and he didn’t shake my hand- or say anything. And I said ‘what about me’? And he said ‘we don’t want you’. And I said ‘well I don’t want you either! ’ [laughter] Uh, and I- then I dropped out and went to California; hung out in Berkley for a long time. And then went back to Penn State. And when I went back to Penn State it was uh, January of ‘70. April of ‘70 was uh, when the Kent State riots where the four students were shot. And I was very involved in the anti-war movement; the student movement. Was a member of SDS- Students for a Democratic Society- which was the most radical of all the organizations. And uh, a group of us were painting red fists on the back of t-shirts. And this friend of mine, Judy, introduced me to Bruce Howard. And Bruce and I became lovers. And he and I stayed together for twenty-one years, until he died from AIDS in 1991. But um, he and I pretty much stuck together. I had never been in a gay bar yet. I still knew no other gay people. Uh, we graduated from Penn State. We had two dogs, and we had a big old mail truck, and we drove it to Maine, and lived way out in the country in Maine. And I ended up teaching school that year. And Bruce just did odd jobs-anything he could to make money. And it was a wonderful year for the two of us to be together. But, we were very isolated. And Bruce had been around the gay movement, or around gay bars and gay life, and was telling me all these things that I just couldn’t believe. And so, I had a very close friend whose name was Beverly Stein. And Beverly- LA: Beverly Stein? WELLER: Stein. S-T-E-I-N. And Beverly was in a hippy commune in California. And so we went out to California with our dogs. And uh, joined that commune in a little town called Oakhurst. And lived there for a number of months and then the commune fell apart. And Beverly and Bruce and I, and a bunch of other people from that commune moved together into Berkeley and lived in a group house there. 3 Weller SR 11124 And that’s where I first really got involved with the gay movement. I went to my first gay bars and just was blown away. I loved every minute of it. Uh, we, um we were part of the sexual revolution that was going on then, especially in San Francisco. Um, people were not monogamous. Uh, the idea was to smash monogamy. And that was both heterosexual and homosexual. All our heterosexual friends were smashing monogamy, too. You weren’t supposed to be possessive with the one you loved- you were supposed to be open to free love. And, uh, so we played and had a wonderful time. And I joined my first gay organization. And that was called Gays of Oakland for Bobby Seal for Mayor. Bobby Seal had been a Black Panther and was very radical. Um, he was one of the first black leaders to ever speak out in favor of lesbian and gay civil rights. And so we supported him for mayor, and that was my first organizational beginning with the gay movement. And uh, Beverly went to law school, and left. And that sort of broke the household up. And Bruce and I went on a long four-month trip through Mexico into Central America. Um. Ended up after four months in Panama. And then flew back to Florida, and then went to Key West and spent that winter in Key West. I worked as a waiter. And then that fall- the fall of 1974- Bruce and I went back to Penn State where he went to graduate school. And while he was in graduate school I worked at a backpacking equipment store. And even though I wasn’t a student I was vice president of the student gay rights group. And got more involved in the national movement- started to meet national players. Uh, a man by the name of Chubby Sylvester- he was at Penn, Penn state. But was very active and went to my first national conference in Washington D.C. in 1975. And started to really meet people and become a part of this whole gay movement. Beverly meanwhile, was finishing grad school. And so she never did finish law school. Bruce finished grad school, and the three of us packed things together and moved out here- to Portland. And we had literally just picked Portland up out of the map. 4 Weller SR 11124 We decided we didn’t want to be in San Francisco anymore- it was too crazy. And Portland would be- we thought Portland would be a scaled down San Francisco. Portland was much quieter than we realized. But we’re really happy we made the move. Beverly went on to become a state representative and then she was chair of the Multnomah County Commission. And she ran in the democratic primary for governor four years ago. Um. We came out- the three of us got a house together. Um, I had worked for two years to put Bruce through grad school, so he allowed me two years to just sort of play while he worked. And there was this organization called Portland Town Council- which was the gay rights group in Portland. And they were looking for their first executive director. And they hired me. And that was- would be the fall of 1976. Oregon was very unique in that Oregon started working on a state-wide gay civil rights bill as early as 1973- making it one of the first states in the nation. And by 1976, ’77, it was between Oregon, Minnesota and Massachusetts- we thought- as the three states that were going to pass the first gay rights bill.

This system is not set forth in full in the rules of either chamber; rather, it is set forth in this Form and Style Manual for Legislative Measures, which has been adopted by reference in the rules of both chambers. Because this manual is incorporated into the chamber rules, it is sometimes subject to rule interpretation by the chamber parliamentarians.* The Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure, as promulgated by the Council on Court Procedures, and adopted by the Legislative Assembly in 1979 and 1981 and subsequently amended, do not conform to this uniform system of form and style. This Form and Style Manual for Legislative Measures obviously cannot cover every situation. For form and style questions not covered by this manual, contact the Office of the Legislative Counsel at (503) 986-1243. *SENATE RULE 13.01. (3) Immediately after presentation to the Secretary of the Senate, the measure shall be sent to Legislative Counsel for examination and compliance with the “Form and Style Manual for Legislative Measures” and preparation of a copy for the State Printer. No corrections that might affect the substance of the measure shall be made without the consent of the sponsor of the measure.
