Queering the Archives oral history project is a series of oral histories from the LGBTQ+ communities of Weber, Davis and Morgan Counties of Northern Utah. Each interview is a life interview, documenting the interviewee's unique experiences growing up queer. |
| Abstract |
The following is an oral history interview with Connell O'Donovan, conducted in November and December 2022 by Lorrie Rands and Jim Miles. The interview takes place over Zoom. Connell talks about his experience growing up queer in Northern Utah and coming to terms with his sexuality. He discusses his activism at the forefront of Utah's queer movements in the ‘80s, finding his own belief system outside of the predominant religion of the area, and his struggles with mental health and queer relationships over his lifetime. |
