February 20, 1966 - July 19, 2000
From daily fashion statements to his fearless
statements of other kinds, in life Stephen was impossible to miss. But
in death he will be missed utterly by the community he inspired, provoked
and loved. The following tributes begin to suggest his unique legacy.

Witness"
