\nDepi li te f\u00e8t, yo te rele Joe Tom ak prenon ak dezy\u00e8m non li. Li te yon aktivis LGBTQ ak dwa moun ki te devwe. Li te yon nonm ekstra\u00f2din\u00e8 ki te gen objektif nan lavi pou l f\u00e8 byen e li te reyisi.<\/p>\n
Paran Joe Tom, Lady Hampton ak Tom Lee Easley, te ba li ideyalis ak konfyans nan t\u00e8t li. Li te pase premye ane li yo nan Truby, Texas, ki te yon ti kominote agrik\u00f2l kote li te k\u00f2manse edikasyon li nan yon lek\u00f2l yon s\u00e8l salklas. L\u00e8 li te gen 10 an, fanmi an te demenaje nan vil Eagle Pass sou fwonty\u00e8 Meksik la, kote paran li te achte yon motosikl\u00e8t Harley-Davidson pou li byen vit (se te Texas, apre tout) pou l te ka ale lek\u00f2l, motosikl\u00e8t sa a li te monte san danje pandan tout lek\u00f2l segond\u00e8. L\u00e8 l te adolesan, li te touche lajan k\u00f2m DJ sou yon estasyon radyo lokal, li t ap jwe gwo siks\u00e8 ane 1950 yo, ansanm ak ansyen mizik ane 1940 yo. Pandan l t ap etidye nan iniv\u00e8site, b\u00e8l vwa li ak aparans granmoun li te f\u00e8 l jwenn yon travay k\u00f2m yon animat\u00e8 esp\u00f2 nan yon estasyon televizyon Houston.<\/p>\n
Joe Tom, yon diplome nan Texas A&M University, te anseye angle epi li te s\u00e8vi k\u00f2m Asistan Sip\u00e8entandan Lek\u00f2l nan Eagle Pass jiskaske Lag\u00e8 Vyetnam nan te vin pi grav epi yo te rekrite l. Li te antre nan S\u00e8vis Ent\u00e8lijans Naval la, kote li te s\u00e8vi nan Adak, Alaska, pa tw\u00f2 lwen fwonty\u00e8 Larisi. Apre yon ane, yon ansyen zanmi te di milit\u00e8 a ke Joe Tom te omoseksy\u00e8l. K\u00f2mandan li te di li te oblije revoke Joe Tom anba r\u00e8gleman ki te ent\u00e8di omoseksy\u00e8l yo antre nan milit\u00e8 a. Piske Joe Tom te genyen plizy\u00e8 prim sou baz la, k\u00f2mandan an te pwom\u00e8t li t ap resevwa yon dechaj onorab ak benefis pou veteran pout\u00e8t s\u00e8vis egzanpl\u00e8 li. Joe Tom te konnen li te gen anpil chans paske plizy\u00e8 milye l\u00f2t manm s\u00e8vis LGBTQ yo te resevwa s\u00e8lman dechaj dezon\u00e8, sa ki te refize yo benefis pou veteran epi ki te f\u00e8 kary\u00e8 yo mal nan lavni. Plizy\u00e8 ane apre, Joe Tom te ede dirije mouvman an ki an 2010 te f\u00e8 yo revoke politik omofob "Pa Mande, Pa Di" Pentag\u00f2n nan, finalman p\u00e8m\u00e8t gason ak lezby\u00e8n omoseksy\u00e8l yo (epi pita, moun transganr) s\u00e8vi peyi yo ouv\u00e8tman.<\/p>\n
L\u00e8 Joe Tom te kite Marin nan, li te itilize benefis GI Bill li yo pou peye pou Lek\u00f2l Dwa Iniv\u00e8site Texas la, kote li te vin yon aktivis kont Lag\u00e8 Vyetnam nan epi edit\u00e8 jere magazin lalwa a. Pandan ete yo, li te rantre nan premye gwoup "Nader Raiders" aktivis konsomat\u00e8 Ralph Nader a, yon gwoup etidyan dwa enter\u00e8 piblik ak avoka k ap mennen ank\u00e8t sou move zak gouv\u00e8nman an ak antrepriz yo.<\/p>\n
Apre li te fin gradye nan fakilte dwa, li te travay k\u00f2m yon estajy\u00e8 pou yon jij federal, epi li te pran yon p\u00f2s pwofes\u00e8 titularize nan Fakilte Dwa Iniv\u00e8site Georgia. Apre dezan, li te resevwa yon \u00f2f li te santi li pa t ka refize; Southern Regional Council, yon \u00f2ganizasyon dwa sivil enp\u00f2tan, te mande l pou l dirije yon pwoj\u00e8 pou siveye si gouv\u00e8nman federal la t ap f\u00e8 diskriminasyon kont kominote afwo-ameriken yo nan distribisyon fon federal yo. L\u00e8 pwoj\u00e8 sa a te fini, Joe Tom te deside pouswiv yon r\u00e8v li te genyen depi lontan pou l etidye franse pandan l ap viv an Ew\u00f2p, apre li te fin ekonomize ase lajan pou omwen dezan aletranje. Pa lontan apre li te rive an Ew\u00f2p, pi gwo \u00f2ganizasyon konsomat\u00e8 kontinan an te mande l pou l pran yon travay pou mennen ank\u00e8t sou fiksasyon pri pa konpayi famasetik yo, sa li te f\u00e8 pandan dezan.<\/p>\n
Yon l\u00e8, Joe Tom te antreprann yon misyon danjere sou demann yon l\u00f2t el\u00e8v nan klas franse li nan Pari. K\u00f2m li te grandi nan Tchekoslovaki, kamarad klas li a te reyisi chape anba peyi kominis la, men plizy\u00e8 manm fanmi li ki pi gran pa t kapab kite Prag. Yo te vle pote yon pak\u00e8t foto fanmi bay fanmi ann Izray\u00e8l, men enspekt\u00e8 lap\u00f2s gouv\u00e8nman Tch\u00e8k la ta detwi foto yo epi moun ki te voye yo ta pwobableman pini. L\u00e8 Joe Tom te tande sa, li t ap planifye yon vwayaj nan Prag, kamarad klas li a te mande l si l ta eseye f\u00e8 foto sa yo soti an kach\u00e8t.<\/p>\n
Malgre danje a, Joe Tom te dak\u00f2 pou l f\u00e8 yon ekspedisyon ak yon manto ak yon ponya ki te ka lak\u00f2z yon pinisyon sev\u00e8 pou li. Li te rankontre fanmi an nan Prag, yo te ba li foto presye yo epi li te reyisi pote yo dey\u00f2 peyi a av\u00e8 l nan tren an l\u00e8 l te kache yo nan fon yon sak rad sal li yo. Kamarad klas li a te kontan anpil l\u00e8 l te pote foto yo ba li.<\/p>\n
L\u00e8 Joe Tom te retounen Ozetazini soti an Ew\u00f2p an 1977, American University Law School nan Washington DC te anplwaye li k\u00f2m pwofes\u00e8. Li te byen vit nonmen Doyen Adjwen epi apre sa li te transfere nan Antioch Law School, tou nan Washington DC. Pandan plizy\u00e8 ane, yo te mande l pou l anseye kou adjwen nan University of Virginia, Cardozo Law School ak nan Yale Medical School, kote li te anseye dwa sante apre li te fin f\u00e8 yon metriz nan Sante Piblik nan Yale.<\/p>\n
An 1978, Joe Tom te pran desizyon ki te chanje lavi l pou l deklare li omoseksy\u00e8l. Pr\u00e8ske imedyatman, li te vin aktif nan lit kont diskriminasyon an ak pou egalite LGBTQ. Nan Washington DC, majistra a te nonmen l nan komite revizyon sivil lapolis la, epi li te eli prezidan klib politik Demokratik LGBTQ ki gen anpil enfliyans nan vil la.<\/p>\n
Pita, apre li te demenaje Nouy\u00f2k, li te s\u00e8vi k\u00f2m yon ko-prezidan pyonye nan Lambda Legal, kote li te ede transf\u00f2me \u00f2ganizasyon sa a an yon gwo f\u00f2s legal LGBTQ. Apre sa, li te pase plizy\u00e8 pery\u00f2d k\u00f2m prezidan Fondasyon Kanpay Dwa Moun ak ko-prezidan Rezo Defans Legal S\u00e8vis la, ki te dirije lit pou tretman egal nan milit\u00e8 a. Li te f\u00e8 testaman pou moun ki gen SIDA epi li te par\u00e8t nan televizyon k\u00f2m yon defans\u00e8 LGBTQ. Travay volont\u00e8 Joe Tom te posib grasa desizyon li pou l sispann anseye dwa aplentan epi olye de sa li te bay konferans a tan pasy\u00e8l ak BARBRI, pi gwo kou preparasyon pou egzamen avoka nan peyi a.<\/p>\n
Pandansetan, an 1983, lavi Joe Tom te chanje dramatikman ank\u00f2. Yon zanmi komen te prezante l bay Peter Freiberg, yon jounalis. Toulede te gen 42 an epi yo te f\u00e8 coming out an menm tan, pa aza. Nan premye randevou yo a, chak gason te deside ke yo te rankontre nanm jimo yo, epi pita nan menm ane a, Joe Tom te demenaje kite Washington DC pou l al nan apatman Peter nan Manhattan. An 2003, apre yo te fin pase 20 an ansanm, koup la te finalman kapab marye legalman l\u00e8 Ontario, Kanada, te apwouve maryaj moun menm s\u00e8ks. Maryaj yo nan Toronto City Hall te youn nan premye maryaj moun menm s\u00e8ks New York Times te pale de li. Sepandan, se pa t jiskaske douz ane apre, l\u00e8 Lakou Sipr\u00e8m Etazini an te deside ke koup LGBTQ yo te gen yon dwa konstitisyon\u00e8l pou yo marye, ke maryaj yo te rekon\u00e8t nan tout Etazini. Yon mwa anvan lanm\u00f2 Joe Tom, koup la te selebre 39y\u00e8m aniv\u00e8s\u00e8 rankont yo a.<\/p>\n
Joe Tom te atire atansyon nasyonal an 2005 l\u00e8 li te simonte plizy\u00e8 obstak biwokratik. Av\u00e8k \u00e8d s\u00f2lda ameriken an Irak, li te mennen yon ti gason Irak ki te blese pa yon bonm ameriken nan peyi nou an pou tretman medikal. Sa te yon demonstrasyon senpati li te genyen pandan tout lavi li pou moun ak gwoup ki te blese pa aksyon ak ev\u00e8nman ki pa t anba kontw\u00f2l yo. Pandan tout lavi li, li te soutni ke moun ki gen bon k\u00e8 k ap travay ansanm te kapab pote chanjman ki t ap benefisye sosyete a an jeneral.<\/p>\n
Menm nan de d\u00e8nye ane li yo, Joe Tom te nan ch\u00e8z woulant ak\u00f2z tansyon li ki te ba an\u00f2malman, men li te kenbe optimis li, sans im\u00e8 li, kapasite li pou rakonte istwa, lanmou li pou liv ak mizik country. Li te kenbe kapasite pou l jwi lavi nan South Beach, kote li menm ak Peter te pase pi f\u00f2 nan ane a, ak nan kay ete yo nan Hudson Valley. Li te kontinye defann prez\u00e8vasyon istorik l\u00e8 li te s\u00e8vi nan Kons\u00e8y Administrasyon Miami Design Preservation League. L\u00e8 li te mouri an 2022, enpak lavi li ak travay li te par\u00e8t ni nan fanmi li ak zanmi li yo ki te nan lapenn, ni nan anpil nekroloji ke Washington Post, Miami Herald ak New York Times te pibliye.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
