Biographical/Historical note
Patricia Nell Warren was born in 1936 and grew up on the Grant Kohrs cattle ranch near Deer Lodge, Montana. She has been writing
professionally since she was a teenager in the 1950s, and a publishing professional since 1959. She moved to New York in 1955
to attend Manhattanville College. Warren landed a job at
Reader's Digest where she worked as a copy editor, 1959-1964, and book editor, 1964-1980.
Warren married a Ukrainian emigre writer in 1960 and wrote four books of Ukranian poetry between 1959-1973. For a few years
in the 1960s,
Reader's Digest stationed her in Spain. While there, she wrote her first gay novel, a chronicle of the illicit relationship between a Spanish
bullfighter and a peasant during the fascist regime of Spain (she would publish the book in 2001 under the title
The Wild Man). In Spain, she also took up jogging. She became proficient enough that she was the fourth woman to finish the 1970 Boston
Marathon. In 1971, she published her first book
The Last Centennial, a set of three short novels that take place in a Montana town during the 1970s. In 1973, Warren divorced her husband.
In 1974, Warren published her most acclaimed work
The Front Runner, her first published gay-themed book. This love story about an ex-Marine track coach and his Olympic athlete was the first
work of gay fiction to reach the
New York Times Best Seller list and has sold an estimated 10 million copies worldwide. The work inspired Front Runners running and walking
clubs across the world.
In 1976, Warren published
The Fancy Dancer, the first bestseller to portray a gay priest and to explore gay life in a small town. In 1978, Warren published
The Beauty Queen, a story inspired by the rise of the homophobic Anita Bryant. In 1991, Warren published her second mainstream title,
One Is the Sun, a historical epic about a woman chief of the Montana Territory during the 1800s.
In 1994, Warren completed
Harlan's Race, the sequel to
The Front Runner. This was the premiere title offered by Wildcat Press, an independent press co-founded by Warren and her business partner,
Tyler St. Mark. In 1997, Wildcat Press published the third book in the series,
Billy's Boy, which won the Lambda Literary Editor's Choice Award. Wildcat Press would go on to publish the following Warren-authored
books:
The Wild Man (2001),
The Lavender Locker Room: 3000 Years of Great Athletes Whose Sexual Orientation Was Different (2006), and
My West: Personal Writings on the American West (2011).
Warren is also known for her hundreds of nonfiction articles and essays on subjects such as youth, mythology, environmentalism,
human rights, gay and lesbian life, AIDS, mixed-race prejudice, American history, sports, wild animals, agriculture, and current
events. Her short works have appeared in the
Los Angeles Times,
Reader's Digest,
San Francisco Chronicle,
Chicago Tribune,
L.A. Woman,
Mythosphere,
Foreword and
Persimmon Hill, as well as in LGBT publications such as the
Advocate,
Out,
Gay & Lesbian Review,
Genre,
Philadelphia Gay News, and
Lodestar Quarterly. As a columnist, Warren wrote a series about gay pioneers in sports history for Outsports.com and the "Left Field" series
on the politics of AIDS and public health in
A & U Magazine.
In addition to her literary work, Warren has been a committed human rights activist. Her personal activism started during
the 1960s, with her efforts to have the American media recognize the individuality of Ukrainians and other ethnic groups in
the USSR. In the 1970s, she became active in women's rights and was the plaintiffs' spokesperson for
Susan Smith v. Reader's Digest, a landmark lawsuit that resulted in a class-action victory for women. As a former amateur athlete, she helped lead a group
of female distance runners who forced the Amateur Athletics Union to change the discriminatory rules under which women were
permitted to run in the mid-1970s.
Later, Warren's activism focused on free speech and issues confronting LGBT youth. In the late 1990s, she taught a GED program
for LGBT youth, served on the Gay and Lesbian Education Commission of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), and
served on the LAUSD's Human Relations Education Commission. She is one of several dozen plaintiffs in
ACLU v. Reno and
ACLU v. Reno II, a case-setting lawsuit seeking to stem unwarranted censorship of the Internet. She was also one of the founders of Just
Dissent, a California activist group seeking to protect the rights of peaceful protesters.
Warren's passionate activism has drawn her to diverse causes. She has volunteered for SOS Care, a wildcat rescue center, and
wrote the script for their promotional video. In 2007, Warren campaigned for a seat on the West Hollywood City Council. Warren's
literary and political work has been honored by the Arizona Human Rights Fund's Barry Goldwater Award, the National Cowboy
Hall of Fame's Western Heritage Award, the Lambda Literary Award, the Saints & Sinners Hall of Fame, and the Gay and Lesbian
Literary Hall of Fame.

EAGLES
1992-1995, 2002
Biographical/Historical note
In 1994, Warren became a volunteer teacher at the EAGLES Center, a Los Angeles Unified School District program to serve at-risk
LGBT students. She taught classes in English-language communications and history for students who needed credits in those
areas to graduate. Warren joined the school's council and became one of its representatives for LAUSD's LEARN program. Warren
stopped teaching in 1995, but stayed on with the LAUSD as a commissioner of education.
While she was teaching, Warren also served as an advisor for the students publishing the EAGLES yearbook. The yearbook had
no budget and was funded solely through teacher and volunteer support. Each student designed their own page, many with their
own original artwork. The yearbook also provided record to the district's first gay and lesbian prom.

Biographical/Historical note
The YouthArts Project was an internet workshop that allowed LGBT students the opportunity to put their art works, photography,
and writings online. The project emerged out of an EAGLES art class sponsored by the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art.
The class expanded to include to any interested LGBT student in the Los Angeles area, then through an Annenberg grant in 1995,
moved to the University of Southern California campus under the guidance of librarian John Waiblinger. The students designed
their own web pages, posted their creative works on the YouthArts website, and eventually created an e-zine. A YouthArts branch
opened at the University of Pennsylvania under the guidance of Darin Weeks. Warren was an advisor to the project and oversaw
the publishing activities on the website. Waiblinger attempted to create an internet center at the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center
to support the YouthArts project, but when this failed, the project eventually ceased operations.

electronic mailing list email, and other research documents, 1956-2001, compiled by Warren for her "Fourteen Dollars" column
in
A & U and for her work with the group Just Dissent.
Biographical/Historical note
Also known as the "Whistleblower Files," these files were first compiled by Warren for her "Fourteen Dollars" column in
A & U. The column spotlighted the trend to the harsher treatment of protesters by law enforcement, especially for those opposing
healthcare policies. California State Senator Richard Polanco's deputy Marie Armoudian picked up on the column, which led
to Senator Polanco writing a bill with Senator Sheila Kuehl to minimize the penalties used against protesters. Those supporting
the bill formed into a group called Just Dissent. They created the website www.justdissent.org and lobbied for its passage.
Although the bill was passed by the state legislature, Governor Gray Davis vetoed the bill. See
Pagans and Pilgrims in the Writing Series for more protester materials.
