Established as an all-volunteer team of men in 1989, Gay Spirit Visions is committed to creating trustworthy, sacred space that is open to all spiritual paths, wherein men who love men may scout and strengthen spiritual individuality. Every year GSV holds retreats and conferences that are attended by men from all over the United States.
The Gay Liveliness Visions Oral History Plan is a component of the larger Gender and Sexuality Oral History Proposal. Most of the interviews, which have been conducted by Cal Gough and Randall Cumbaa, are recorded using audio and video equipment, although some may be available in audio form only.
This guide is a work in progress, as many of the interviews have not yet been fully processed. The guide will be updated on a regular basis. If you have any questions about the plan, please contact the Women's / Gender & Sexuality Collections Archivist.
