Today’s spotlight: Rodney Wilson
In 1994, this Missouri history teacher came out to his students during a lesson on the Holocaust, becoming the state’s first openly gay public school teacher. That same year, he founded LGBTQ+ History Month, choosing October to honor National Coming Out Day and the historic marches on Washington.
