The courageous, groundbreaking life of Allan Spear

Get an early look at a new University of Minnesota Press book on the courageous life of one of Minnesota’s most influential politicians.  Meet Allan Spear, who served in the Minnesota Senate for 28 years and broke new ground in 1974 when he became the first legislator in the United States to come out as a gay man.

  • Doug Grow tells Spear’s story here
  • And Spear tells his own story of coming out in this excerpt from “Crossing the Barriers: The Autobiography of Allan H. Spear”
