QueerAF Podcast: S7 E2 – Lou Sullivan is known to many as a first. One of the first openly gay trans men in public life, widely considered the first known case of a trans man developing AIDS, and later the first trans man known to die of an AIDS-related illness. His story, his legacy, is a complex one, though. A pioneer of history and archiving, as well as on the front lines of HIV advocacy, we look back at his life at a time when we should be only years away from ending the HIV pandemic. Instead, because of cuts made by the Trump administration, HIV is on the rise in some places for the first time in years. This week on the QueerAF podcast, as we mark ten years of making podcasts, we kick off season 7 with an episode from reporter Alex-Parnham Cope. - listen now in your podcast app
