William J. (Bill) Luckeroth was born in Marysville, Kansas, which is located in the heart of the Bible Belt, on August 18, 1947. He attended a Catholic primary school for eight years. When he was twelve years old, Bill disappointed the parish priest, his parents and three of his classmates when he refused to transfer to a Jesuit seminary for high school; instead he chose the local public high school that was both secular and coed. He graduated from Kansas State University in 1969 with a BA within a pre-legal program. For several years, he served as a lieutenant in the Army. Together with two fellow lieutenants, he broke the chain of command and proposed an early-out program for ROTC officers directly to Senator Stuart Symington (D-MO) and other Congressmen. When the legislation they proposed became law, Bill applied for and was granted an early-out. Then he moved to Puerto Rico where he received his Juris Doctor degree from the University of Puerto Rico Law School in 1975. Bill immediately passed the bar exam; he practiced civil law in San Juan for nearly three decades before retiring for health reasons. During retirement, Bill has been an gay activist in some degree. For example, he advocated for equal rights before the Joint Legislative Commission for Reform and Revision of the Civil Code of Puerto Rico. Bill is a secular humanist and an independent voter who reads avidly. He belongs to the Puerto Rico Bar Association, ACLU and HRC. When Bill feels up to writing, he contributes letters that promote progressive ideas and/or causes to local newspapers. His letters were published in the now defunct San Juan Star and currently they occasionally appear in the Puerto Rico Daily Sun. He has two children who are adults, a surgeon and a lawyer. He considers fatherhood to have been his most rewarding experience apace with his long-term personal relationship. Bill married his partner in Massachusetts in 2004 after they had lived more than twelve years together. Their marriage has no validity whatsoever in Puerto Rico due to the local DOMA. Recently, the editor-in-chief of Papel Mag, Vasco Carinhas, read comments that Bill had posted on their Web site and invited him to contribute to the Queritics Section. He had been looking for a new venue to express his views so Bill agreed to chip in writing articles for the “William Tells” column. Bill feels a special affinity for the new generation of young adults. Most of them have discarded his generations’ myths and prejudices. Bill maintains that the vast majority of young adults want everyone to enjoy a level playing field. He says they’re the future and, moreover, they share his progressive worldview. They repudiate the hatemongers who inflict unwarranted pain and suffering on fellow citizens whom society has relegated to iffy, subordinate civil rights.
