Linus Herrell

Tattooed with multiple piercings, Linus Herrell was the voice of the Cleveland gay community on local tele television in the 1980s, when more "respectable" gay men were afraid to be interviewed on camera.

Herrell also co-founded Body Language, the city's longestrunning LGBT store, in 1984 with Ray Burton. He sold the store in 1990, shortly before his death.

Herrell's Body Language was one of the first vendors to buy a booth at the inaugural Cleveland Pride festival in 1989. At the next year's festival, he was confined to a wheelchair because of the effects of AIDS.

"I feel like Moses," he said, looking at the crowd. "I can see the promised land, but I'll never get there."
