Facebook's Early Employee Shares Life as Drag Queen and AIDS Survivor
Original: One of Facebook's First Employees Is a Drag Queen, an AIDS Survivor, and, Finally, an Open Book
A person who worked at Facebook in its earliest days has come forward to tell their full life story: a drag performer and AIDS survivor, until now largely private about that history. The account, published by The Bold Italic, traces a career inside the early social media company alongside decades of survival, performance and identity. Readers are responding to the rarity of such an intimate first-person account from someone with that tech background.
Why now: People are talking about it because a rare first-person story from an early Facebook employee has just been published.
