We're incredibly sad to learn of the passing of Eric Kuhlmann.

This legend in Adelaide's LGBTIQA+ communities will be missed dearly. As a proud bear, a performer, and a leader - Eric will be remembered as a sweet, kind, and gentle soul who shared his talents working with a number of community organisations - in particular Feast Festival & Pride Adelaide.
