who have or have died from AIDS or Hate Crimes
It is our goal to record the positive contributions GLBT people make to their community and the local
community at large. While AIDS and Hate CRIMES are certainly not positive things, we seek to draw the
positive from the negative. We hold up Paul Delph and Matthew Shepard and their families as models of how
human beings should or could react to each other and how families should support loved ones whose lives
are not in the box right wing religious zealots want them in. Delph, a multi-talented Cincinnatian, died of AIDS
