Sullivan, Lou

I am so grateful for all of the self-advocacy and advocacy for his community that Lou Sullivan worked for. We are all better off for his efforts.

RIP lou (3

Thank you, Lou, for living and sharing a phenomenal life

Lou, we never met, and I wasn't even born within the millennium in which you lived, but I feel like we've known each other forever. I've read parts of your diaries that were published, and as I read each entry I felt like I was listening to a close friend. I'm a gay trans man as well, and I admire how you fought to get us recognized and the foundations that you laid for us. Thank you. Rest easy.

As a fellow gay trans man, I love and miss you, Lou. Thank you for everything you did, your story, you will not be forgotten. I'm doing my theses on your diaries and I hope to live a happy life in your honor. Rest in peace.

Lou left us something incredible. We can all learn so much out of his Diaries and work. Even after so many years i as an trans Man have the same fears and worries. But he helped me feel community and connection. After reading his diaries i feel like he gave us a bit of hope that everything will turn allright and we will find ourself. He left us a bid of his enternal love for the beauty of love and men and i hope someday i can see as much beauty in the world like he did.

Lou, my students loved learning about you. Thank you for being a beacon for so many trans people young and old.

I just finished a semester-long National History Day project, which every junior at my school has to do. I did it on Lou Sullivan. I didn't know of him before until my therapist recommended I look into him as a topic for this huge project. After 5 months of work and research, I finished the project. I've grown to appreciate the man that Lou was, even if he lived long before I was born. I never knew I could get so attached to a school research project. Thank you, Lou.
