Lou Sullivan  1951-1991

A gay and transgender historian, community organizer, and diarist, Sullivan’s diaries chronicle his social and medical transition – as well as his rich emotional and sexual life – from his teenage years in Milwaukee until his death in 1991 at the age of 39 from AIDS-related complications.  Sullivan was a leader in the transmasculine community, who became a founding member of the GLBT Historical Society.
