Gregory Manifold’s Legacy Lives On

Fort Wayne mourns Gregory Manifold, a pioneering LGBTQ advocate who bravely came out in 1978 and dedicated decades to fighting AIDS and championing LGBTQ rights. Married to Terrance McCaffrey for over 30 years, Manifold’s love story took a heartbreaking turn when McCaffrey died just three days after their brief same-sex marriage in 2014. As Manifold battled Alzheimer’s, a cherished necklace—found by his friend Dennis Greaf—offered a poignant link to his beloved partner. Today, the Positive Resource Connection, the organization Manifold led, continues his legacy through a thriving food pantry named in his honor, now funded at triple its original amount. His story is one of love, courage, and enduring impact. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
