Collection Overview
Scope and Contents of the Materials
This collection consists of news articles, correspondence and other personal papers centered on the social, legal and political issues concerning the LGBT community in the United States collected by Tom Miles. Material includes newspaper clippings showcasing the media representation of these issues most notably from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, USA Today, the Riverfront Times, the Washington Post and The Advocate. Also included are full issues of Bondings, a publication dedicated to positive relations between the Catholic Church and the LGBT community. Correspondence captured includes e-mails discussing the removal of a priest from Miles' church, PFLAG activity and other LGBT activism that Miles was involved in.
Collection Historical Note
Born and raised in St. Louis, Tom Miles was an insurance broker and financial planner married to Audrey J. Miles (nee Kunz), with whom he had 6 children. He was an active member of St. Cronan Catholic Church as well as the organization for Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG), both of which are reflected in the collection. Miles had a LGBT-identified daughter, which may have influenced his interest in LGBT issues.
