Tina Wood grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee and went to college at Boston University. In her adopted home state of Rhode Island, she was involved in successful efforts to pass several pieces of pro-LGBTQ state legislation over the years, and also runs the email list for LGBTQ news from Rhode Island. She has volunteered as a "search angel" who helps adoptees, birth families, and others who are searching for family and friends over the past several years. In 2018, at request of Kathy Baldock and Ed Oxford, she was able to find Reverend David Sheldon Fearon, who had written a series of letters challenging the translation team of the Revised Standard Version on their usage of the word "homosexual." Reverend Fearon's letters are discussed in the upcoming documentary "1946: The Movie," and Kathy Baldock's upcoming book "Forging a Sacred Weapon: How the Bible Became Anti-Gay."
