Will you be the hero who dominates these dastardly evil doers, or will their wicked ways leave you begging for more?

October is LGBTQ+ History Month and Pride at Home is celebrating this with a series of images being presented at our Equality Gallery. I’m far from a history buff, but in my research this month I came across an unthinkable amount of beautiful and painful moments in our history. There are so many individuals that stand out in our history, but one that really captured my heart was Peta.

You may not recognize the name, but many of us have seen Peta before without even realizing it. In 1990, as we were in some of the darkest days of the AIDs crisis in America, a journalism student named Therese Frare went to the Pater Noster House, an AIDS hospice in Columbus OH to volunteer. It was there that Frare captured a moment that was seen across the world.

The image shows a dying David Kirby who passed away moments after the photograph was taken. He was 32. This image was subject to great controversy – but David and his family wished to share the images of their final moments in hopes that it would show the humanity and destruction caused by this highly politicized epidemic that was killing so many in our community.

What most don’t notice in the photo of David and his family are the pair of hands attached to someone out of frame. These hands hold onto David’s as his father cradles his head and comforts him. These hands belonged to Pater Noster House volunteer, friend of Therese Frare and David’s caregiver – the then HIV positive Peta.

Peta was a two-spirit person, who Frare described as “…A person who rode the line between genders and one of the most amazing people I’ve ever met.” In the time after David’s passing, Frare spent two years capturing Peta’s life. Many of the photographs she captured show them in the well-known Pine Ridge Indian Reservation while their health declined.

I have chosen to recreate one of the images from this time. While I wouldn’t say I did Peta’s beautiful likeness enough justice, I hope I captured the spirit of the original. You can view the original here.

By 1992, Peta returned to Pater Noster House. David Kirby’s family was there as well – this time to care for and say their goodbyes to Peta. The familial bond the Kirby’s developed with their son’s caregiver made them decide that when the time came for Peta – they would not face the end alone.

There are a million details we will never know about this story or about Peta. Peta died in 1992 of complications associated with AIDS. AIDS still kills almost one million people worldwide every year.

So much of our history has been buried. It hurts to think what we have missed, but I find comfort in the fact that someone like Peta existed and that through the work of Therese Frare, we were able to see what a bright light they were to our community and to the world.

National Coming Out Day is for everyone

A student’s experience discovering their sexuality and gender identity

National Coming Out Day, annually celebrated Oct. 11, recognizes LGBTQIA+ community members who are already out, who are coming out, who are not ready to come out and who cannot come out. This year, I am not celebrating two years of being out as bisexual publically, or a year since I changed my pronouns to she/they; I am celebrating the lifelong journey of coming out to myself.

When I began college in fall 2020 at St. Joe’s, I identified as a cisgender, straight woman. I used a flat iron on my hair almost every day, I hardly ever skipped a day of wearing mascara and half of my shirts had flowers or butterflies all over them. I wouldn’t wear a shirt in a size bigger than a medium and I squeezed myself into jeans I could barely put on, all to present myself in a way I thought men would find attractive. But as time slowly went on during the peak of the covid-19 pandemic and I adjusted to living on my own for the first time, I couldn’t help but acknowledge something didn’t feel right.

When I finally came to terms with the fact that I was attracted to women, I asked myself, “Do I like her or do I just want to be like her?”

I began to question my entire past relationships and attraction to men. I did a web-wide deep dive into bisexuality, only to stumble upon the myths and stereotypes of bisexual people.

This has always been one of my favorite tracks Genesis ever made. Back in the day when jukeboxes had 45’s I would play it when ever I saw it. I’m sure people were thinking “What the hell is this racket?”, during the intro.

They were into creating atmospheres. No matter who was or wasn’t in the band, it was something they always did remarkably well.
