Key takeaway Carol Cureton and her church's impact on the LGBTQ+ community.
A graduate student's paper on LGBTQ + history was submitted to the Missouri Historical Society for publication over thirty years ago. The paper focused on Rev. Carol Cureton and her church's impact on the LGBTQ+ community.
A professor and mentor encouraged the submission, which was then guided through the publication process by an editor. The paper was eventually published in the Society's members magazine, Gateway Heritage. This marked a significant step in honoring the past.
Further details about the publication process and its challenges are available from the source. The publication of this paper is notable as it represents an early effort to document LGBTQ+ history.
