"LGBTQ history comes to life when Missouri history teacher Rodney Wilson is nearly fired for coming out to his students as gay."
Rodney Wilson was in his 20s when he was nearly fired for coming out to his high school students during a history lesson. The outcry from the community was swift and severe. The scandal became national through media coverage on Dateline NBC, Newsweek, and The Ricki Lake Show. It even inspired a story line on All My Children. As the dust was settling, Wilson founded October's LGBTQ History Month.
