Thanks Steve. Just one of ourstories hidden from our people, restoring Ivan to a rightful place in LGBTQ+ stories. Your publication of our work means a lot to us. Fight On!
I had the pleasure of meeting Ivan a number of years back, at the Stonewall and he was gracious enough to befriend me and invite me to his home in the City on several occasions. Ivan was a sweet soul who was kind and accepting of all people and was very spiritual and “enlightened” in his own way. I will never forget him.
