PHOTO: A gay married, Mormon, Ph.D. graduate of Oregon State University is featured in a magazine article by anoymous. "Surviving Graduate School," The Oregon State Engineer publication of Oregon State University College of Engineering (no photo captions, no page numbers or dates and online copy not yet available). It was mailed to OSU alumni and donors and I received a copy of it in the U.S. Mail on September 28, 2017 inside of an expensive clear envelope, printed on 48 unnumbered pages of a paper size bigger than the standard 8-1/2 x 11 inches and printed on a very expensive heavy stock of paper, but curiously it did not have a date of publication nor a copyright date! On pages 26-29 (counted unnumbered pages not including the covers) was the anonymously written article, "Surviving graduate school," about a recent OSU Ph.D. graduate, Gustavo Albuquerque Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, now with Intel Hillsboro, Oregon Semiconductors (See his linkedin.com that I accessed Sep. 29, 2017). He summarizes his research work as developing "Continuous microwave-assisted synthesis of Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) . . using this patented method. . ."
Having followed the rise of gay marriage since the days of Jack Baker's pioneering case he brought to the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1972, I was surprised to see an out, Mormon OSU Ph.D. student, who now works for Intel in Oregon, and who is in a same-sex marriage, be featured as part of a marketing publication for Oregon State University donations. It is an example of the progress same-sex marrage had made in the last few decades.
