Beowulf Thorne (1964 – 1999) was an American queer activist and graphic designer based in San Francisco, CA. Thorne was HIV-positive, and most of his activism work focused on the HIV/AIDS crisis during its peak in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In 1990, he co-founded AIDS zine Diseased Pariah News along with friend and roommate Tom Shearer, and the publication continued until Thorne’s death due to AIDS in 1999.
