Photos of gay trans male activist Lou Sullivan throughout his life, as presented in Lou Sullivan: Daring to be a Man Among Men by Brice D. Smith

I never see historic trans male posts and I’m crying thank you

I know one of the men in these photos. I texted him today & said “I might be wrong, but is this you with Lou Sullivan??” He had no idea about Brice Smith’s book and he’s amazed these photos are in circulation 30+ years later.

The photo was taken at a time when he was terrified to be out. He said: “Lou helped me a great deal. I still have a beautiful letter from him. Such a sweet, sweet man. He was so proud to be a gay trans man.”

thank you so much for sharing this anecdote!

hey yall remember when victor hugo was talking about our boy grantaire and said “his mind could do without faith, but his heart could not do without friendship: a profound contradiction for affection in itself is faith”? yeah, me too.
