Oral History Interview with Jeff DiGregorio, 1969-

Jeff DiGregorio is a gay man from Arizona, where he resided along with his father who had taken up a career in the Air Force. In Jeff’s early 20s, he had taken up a career in architecture. He had originally been stationed in a department in Arizona but had received word of an opportunity in DC. Sadly, his carrer takes a turn when it is brough to his attention upon arrival that the department he wished to work for would not except him as the openly gay man his presented himself as. Jeff had been shocked by the way he had been treated because his gender identification had not been a problem at all back in Arizona. He grew concerned about how he would make a living. Eventually Jeff began making significant strides as far as aquainting himself with local gays and supporters of the LGBT community. While doing so he realized that it was time to stop trying to promote/help himself and start helping others who were like him. Jeff speaks to how Arlington Gay and Lesbian Alliance (AGLA) had opened his mind to many aspects of life/humanities, emphasizsing his appreciation for the transgender communtiy in particular as well.
