In Memory of Alison
In 2010 we obtained Joanne’s permission to post the story below, to remember and honour her friend Alison. We thank Joanne for her generous and continued donation to BOLDFest ,in Alison’s memory.
30 years ago I had a friend named Alison. She committed suicide at age 21 because she could no longer live in this world as a lesbian. Earlier this year I found myself thinking about Alison and thinking how nice it would be if the two of us were able to go to BOLD together. How I wished she had been able to find a way to live and see the changes we are all so lucky to be able to witness. I decided then I would make an annual donation to BOLD in honour of Alison. And by doing this I allow myself to keep her memory alive and with me, knowing that in some small way she knows. Someday another Alison will come along but this time she will make it until she can attend a BOLD conference.
