G Schulz grew up mostly in Dallas, Texas and attended the University of Texas in Austin where he obtained a Bachelor’s of Architecture degree.  After coming out in 1978 and graduating in 1979, he took a road trip west and landed somewhat by happen-chance in Santa Cruz. There he found a very active gay community, engaging in a gay men’s rap group (that drew upwards of 90 men every week), Gay volleyball  in front of the Dream Inn, two gay bars and a very active social life. He has now been living in Santa Cruz for over 46 years. G has been involved in a variety of groups including the radical faeries and the Rainbow Sangha meditation group. He also attended the 1987 March on Washington for lesbian and gay rights in Washington D.C.
