Barry L. of New York, recorded June 29, 1985 in Minneapolis, Minnesota
Speaker: Barry L.
From: New York
Gender: Male
AA member: Yes
Recording date: June 29, 1985
Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota
Event: Not identified in the tape library or transcript
Primary topic: Tradition Three; LGBTQ+ history and inclusion in AA
Additional themes: Early AA history, Bill W., Lois W., development of the Traditions, gay AA meetings, the 1973–74 General Service Conference debate over listing gay/lesbian groups, anonymity, spirituality, and unconditional acceptance
Adult/explicit: I would probably mark this one Explicit rather than Clean. It isn't graphic, but Barry uses several stronger period terms and profanity and discusses sexuality fairly directly. That is safer for podcast distribution than under-labeling it.
Historical-language advisory: Yes. Some terminology reflects common language and attitudes of the era.
