Timeline
Leggett died on December 31, 1987, at Dallas, Texas, at the age of 52, from hepatitis.
To protest his defrocking, Leggett along with some of his friends during the ordination ceremonies at the Southwest Texas Annual Conference would stand gagged with his liturgical stole around his hands and mouth. He also organized a similar protest at the Minnesota Annual Conference when Rick Huskey was defrocked in 1977.
In 1972 the United Methodist Church continued to develop the Book of Discipline and adopted a statement on sexual morality. The statement as drafted and proposed read:
Leggett and Rick Huskey met at the 1972 United Methodist General Conference in Atlanta. In 1973, the two traveled along the east coast speaking with gay and lesbian United Methodists. They led the first national meeting of the United Methodist Gay Caucus in 1975.
Leggett came out as homosexual publicly with a letter to his friends and family in 1971. A month later from his coming out letter he was suspended by the Southwest Texas Conference by a vote of 144 to 117. The Gay Liberation Front confronted the church delegates and demanded that the church "cease the harassment" of Gene Leggett. After his suspension, Leggett said that he wanted to "continue the ministry as a Christian and, hopefully, as a Methodist." Later in 1974 the church allowed Leggett to appeal his suspension however his appeal was denied.
In 1965 a parishioner suspected that Leggett was homosexual and hired a private investigator. The parishioner notified the church office and Leggett was confronted with the investigation's results. He was given the option of resigning from his current position and finding a job outside of a parish for the issue to be dropped. As Leggett at that time was not openly gay, he accepted the offer.
Franklin Gene Leggett (1935–1987) was an American Methodist minister who was the first gay minister to be defrocked by the United Methodist Church for being homosexual, in 1971.
Franklin Gene Leggett was born on March 19, 1935, in Edinburg, Texas. He had three sons with his wife, Fanny.
