So long, Chata.

Chata is my friend and ex-boyfriend who died last November. He's an amazing guy, and I miss him. He was the first Native American to graduate from Cornell University, renowned chef and owner of two signature restaurants in San Antonio, TX, co-chair of the San Francisco HIV Prevention Planning Council, ally and founder of the Native American AIDS project, art councilor at Camp Sunburst, a summer program for HIV+ children, and a warm and boisterous presence in the lives of many, many friends over the years. This photo was taken in his apartment in the Tenderloin (S.F.)
