Fabian LoSchiavo became a very widely loved national treasure through his immense contributions to queer culture and liberation. His bravery, creativity, warm heartedness and sense of humour will be long celebrated, writes Ken Davis.
Kendall Lovett passed away on October 21. He was 98.
Ken was a founding member of the Gay Solidarity Group/Lesbian and Gay Solidarity, Residents of Woolloomooloo Action Group, Sydney Park AIDS (SPAIDS) memorial grove project, Gay Liberation, Gaywaves Radio Program, Gay Radio Information New Service, Gay Community News and many other projects and groups.
Ken was in the thick of many political and cultural projects and struggles. He lent his fine pen and sign-writing skills to help create innumerable posters, flyers, protest pinafores and banners an example of which can be found in the photo illustrating this obituary.
Ken was one of the loveliest people I’ve had the fortune to know: he was a true gentle man.
