Abstract
In her June 11, 2012, interview with Jackie Bolduan, Kathy Flores details her years in Wisconsin after living in California and Michigan. She discusses her coming out journey, which occurred in her 30s and her struggles coming out as an older queer person. She also touches on the Appleton LGBTQ+ scene in the 1990s, workplace rights and harassment in regards to same-sex couples in Appleton, queer advocacy in Appleton, the Fox Valley Conservative Action Group who were against a new LGBTQ+ domestic partnership measure, progressive language and voices in Appleton, and her involvement in Fair Wisconsin.
