Who’s your favorite LGBT historical figure?

Kaitlyn Boyle
barista | South Philadelphia
"Frida Kahlo. She was a bisexual Mexican painter. Her style was surrealism. She had a long-term affair with Geraldine Baker, the dancer. She was bad-ass. Her husband was a chronic cheater, and she slept with every woman he did!"


Meridian Lowe
barista | South Philadelphia
"Keith Haring. I admire that he did murals in cities and in areas that usually don’t have a lot of color. I live near one of his murals. I also like the artwork he did on subways. He’s iconic and died too young."


Nathan Seeckts
musician | Melbourne, Australia
"I love books so I’ll say Oscar Wilde. I admire his courage in pushing the boundaries in popular culture. I really enjoy his biting sarcasm [that’s] evident in his writings."


K’Triqa Ward
wardrobe consultant | Southwest Philadelphia
"Andy Warhol. He’s one of my favorite artists. His pop art was groundbreak-ing. He’s someone that won’t be forgotten because he can’t be duplicated."
