Tate served in the army after his undergraduate graduation, and went on to serve as an artillery officer for fourteen years.[2] While serving in the army Tate studied law and eventually graduated from the University of Colorado' LGBTQ rightsIn 1974, Tate introduced an amendment to Boulder's Human Rights Ordinance known as the "sexual preference" amendment. It proposed prohibiting employers from firing an employee based upon sexual orientation.[4] It passed in City Council, but Boulder residents were incensed and demanded it be voted on by the general public. The amendment lost by a landslide and Boulder residents sought to recall of Tate and every council member who voted in favor of the amendment. Tate barely escaped recall, but city councilman Tim Fuller did not.[10] Protesters of the amendment sent hate mail and death threats to Tate and his family.[11] Due to his passionate advocation for LGBTQ rights, Tate was surrounded by controversy and thus, failed to win re-election for mayor.[2][9] He remains an icon of early LGBTQ rights supporters in Boulder and Colorado.[4] References1. ^1 2 {{Cite news|url=https://www.chautauqua.com/portfolio/the-legacy-of-penfield-tate-ii-boulders-humanitarian-mayor/|title=The Legacy of Penfield Tate, II: Boulder’s Humanitarian Mayor|work=The Colorado Chautauqua Association|access-date=2018-05-14}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Tate, Penfield}}2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{Cite news|url=https://www.colorado.edu/law/pen-wallace-tate-ii-68|title=Penfield Wallace Tate II|date=2017-07-14|work=Colorado Law|access-date=2018-05-14}} 3. ^1 {{Cite news|url=http://www.dailycamera.com/news/ci_30880646/boulder-county-history-71-election-unseated-incumbents-brought|title=Boulder County History: '71 election unseated incumbents, brought height limit|access-date=2018-08-17}} 4. ^1 2 3 {{Cite news|url=http://www.coloradodaily.com/ci_13106720|title=Taylor: Mayor controversial for support of gay rights|access-date=2018-08-04}} 5. ^{{Cite news|title=Black History in Boulder|last=Sutter|first=Cindy|date=February 8, 2004|work=Boulder Daily Camera|location=Boulder, Colorado}} 6. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.coloradodaily.com/ci_13106720|title=Taylor: Mayor controversial for support of gay rights|access-date=2018-08-17}} 7. ^1 {{Cite news|title=Penciled Tate, former Boulder mayor, dies|last=Krodel|first=Beth|date=October 3, 1993|work=The Sunday Camera}} 8. ^{{Cite news|title=Tate Levels Bias Charge|last=Pankratz|first=Howard|date=October 20, 1974|work=The Denver Post}} 9. ^1 {{Cite web|url=http://yourboulder.com/penfield-tate-boulder-history/|title=Meet Penfield Tate - A Boulder History Icon {{!}} Your Boulder|website=yourboulder.com|access-date=2018-08-17}} 10. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.dailycamera.com/news/boulder/ci_26217305/40-years-later-tim-fullers-fall-is-recalled|title=40 years later, Tim Fuller's fall is recalled as Boulder County evolves|access-date=2018-08-17}} 11. ^{{Cite news|url=http://getboulder.com/boulders-lgbt-history/|title=Boulder’s LGBT history: from 'the Hate State' to the Supreme Court - GetBoulder.com|date=2016-09-01|work=GetBoulder.com|access-date=2018-08-04}} 13 : Mayors of Boulder, Colorado|Kent State University alumni|University of Colorado Law School alumni|Colorado State University faculty|African-American mayors|1931 births|1993 deaths|LGBT rights activists from the United States|African-American people in Colorado politics|Deaths from cancer in Colorado|Infectious disease deaths in Colorado|Deaths from pneumonia|Colorado lawyers |
