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.

Its Melbourne cup day in Australia.
The ladies are all out dressed in their most extravagant clothes to take part in what they see as the event of the season.
Its a big money day for the punters and a day that divides the population with thoughts of animal cruelty.
Racing exposes horses to significant risk of injury and sometimes death through euthanasia when an injury is catastrophic.
Just like humans, they can feel a fly land on their skin, so you can imagine their pain when they're repeatedly whipped.
Horses used for racing in Australia can be legally whipped 18 times per race.
When I was a child horse racing was a large part of my life.
I didn't know any better.
It was a family tradition.
Today, as an informed and participating animal activist I denounce the horse racing industry.
I stand against this form of cruelty.

Love our animals as they love us unconditionally.
They put their trust in us to look after them.

She is named for the ideal of the organization and not the radical politics. This composite image originally began with a photograph of my friend, Alejandra, in the studio of photographer Dick Stevens - who I was once acquainted with. He is a wonderful photographer, but the photo was my own. The original photo is over a decade old. Last night, I put it into both Wonder and Lisa AI applications. I created hundreds of images from it and then selected eight of them which I blended as a composite in Photoshop. From there, I imported it to Lightroom for some final adjustments.
My most popular image ever on Flickr has over 40k views. It has been on here since 2006 or 2007 and is a photo of a tattoo of a rose on a girl's hip. In contrast, this work has been on Flickr only since May 15th, 2023 - today it has over 9k views. Today, June 10th, 2023.
