In addition to his engineering job, he did volunteer work as the Editor of Our Own Community Press, a gay newspaper based out of Norfolk, Virginia. In 1981, Doyle moved to Houston, Texas, where he later produced the radio programs QUEER MUSIC HERITAGE on the station KPFT, and OUTRADIO, heard on the internet. His currently active works include the Texas Obituary Project and the Houston LGBT History website, all part of his 501(c)(3) non-profit, the JD Doyle Archives. Those archives also contain one of the largest collections of queer music in the country. In 2019, the United States Library of Congress selected the archives for digital inclusion in a collection of LGBT history. He believes that history exists to be shared, not hoarded, and strives to make his collection accessible to all. Doyle's work has been honored by numerous awards, such as the Legacy Award from the Greater Houston LGBT Chamber of Commerce (2023); Trailblazer Award from Texas Conference on Digital Libraries (2021); a Proclamation from Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner during LGBT History Month (October 2022) naming it "JD Doyle Day;" from the Houston LGBTQ Political Caucus, given the Lifetime Achievement Award (2019) and Kristen Capps Social Conscience Award (2021); Legacy Community Health Mint Julep Award (2023); Male Grand Marshal for the 2014 Houston Pride Parade; and the Alan Bérubé Prize, from the Committee on LGBT History (2012).1981-MY GAY AMERICAN ROAD TRIP is his first book.vizualizați mai puține
