This month’s book is Outlaw Marriages: The Hidden Histories of Fifteen Extraordinary Same-Sex Couples, by Rodger Streitmatter. For more than a century before gay marriage became a hot-button political issue, same-sex unions flourished in America. Pairs of men and pairs of women joined together in committed unions, standing by each other “for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health” for periods of thirty or forty—sometimes as many as fifty—years. In short, they loved and supported each other every bit as much as any husband and wife. In Outlaw Marriages, cultural historian Rodger Streitmatter reveals how some of these unions didn’t merely improve the quality of life for the two people involved but also enriched the American culture. Among the high-profile couples whose lives and loves are illuminated in the following pages are Nobel Peace Prize winner Jane Addams and Mary Rozet Smith, literary icon Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, author James Baldwin and Lucien Happersberger, and artists Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg.

We have a special speaker coming from Montana, Aunty Steven. 🌟 Announcing the ANTSS Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient: Steven Barrios aka Aunty Steven! 🌟 We are incredibly honored to have Steven Barrios, affectionately known as Aunty Steven, with the ANTSS Lifetime Achievement Award join us to speak and celebrate Indigenous People. As a founder of the Montana Two Spirit Society and a proud tribal citizen of the Blackfeet Nation, Steven has dedicated over 20 years to educating and raising awareness about Two-Spirit culture, a heritage nearly lost due to colonization. Steven’s tireless efforts have not only educated Native and non-Native communities about Two-Spirit identity but also highlighted the impact of HIV infection on Native communities. His personal journey in HIV prevention and Two-Spirit education began in response to the devastating loss of friends at a time when hope and treatments were scarce. Since 1997, Steven has been instrumental in planning and coordinating the annual Montana Two Spirit Gathering, growing it from a small group to one of the largest gatherings in the Pacific Northwest, attracting 50-70 Native Two-Spirits each year. His work includes providing confidential HIV testing on his reservation, a vital service for Native Two-Spirit men who face confidentiality issues, homophobia, and stigma elsewhere. Steven’s commitment extends beyond his local community. He serves on the Montana Community Planning Group and the Montana Gay Men’s Task Force and has contributed to the National Native American AIDS Prevention Center’s Harm Reduction Board, National Native American CPG, and Pride Foundation’s Racial Equity Initiative. His presentations on Two-Spirit history have resonated across the Pacific Northwest and in states such as Oklahoma, Arizona, and New Mexico.
