                <text>The LGBTQ+ Oral History Collection is the home for oral history interviews conducted with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, nonbinary, and asexual individuals from various communities with a focus on those with a connection to Omaha, Nebraska. The interviews were consciously collected to be part of UNO’s Queer Omaha Archives. Interviews to date are all audio recordings and include community members and UNO faculty; interviewees are described individually. Interviews to date have been conducted by UNO professor Jay Irwin, UNO archivist Amy Schindler, UNO students in Prof. Jay Irwin’s Fall 2016 Introduction to LGBT Studies course, and UNO Libraries oral history associate for the Queer Omaha Archives Luke Wegener. Contact UNO Libraries' Archives and Special Collections about access to interviews not yet available online.</text>

                <text>Oral history is one of many sources available to consult as part of your research. It reflects the experience of an individual and shares personal opinions offered by the interviewee in response to questioning. Additional sources can verify and provide additional information to the narrative of events presented in oral histories. Contact UNO Libraries’ Archives &amp; Special Collections to continue your research, find additional sources, or learn more.</text>

At the time of the interview, Cobos was the Outreach Coordinator for the HIV Team at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Cobos attended the University of Texas at Austin, Creighton University, and the University of Nebraska at Omaha. He was associated with the Association of Nurses in AIDS Care and received several volunteer service awards from the Nebraska AIDS Project. The interview was conducted as part of a project for Professor Jay Irwin's Fall 2016 Sociology 3700: Introduction to LGBTQ Studies course. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cobos discussed his first time hearing about HIV as a young college student in the 1980s and how that affected the overall course of his life. He also explained his decision to join the Air Force and the difficulty of navigating both his work life and his personal life. Cobos then discussed his views on the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy and its later repeal. After leaving the military, Cobos described his time volunteering with the Buddy Program before returning to school to earn his nursing degree. Cobos also discussed the political events of 2016 and its potential impact for him both personally and professionally.&lt;/span&gt;</text>
