From a session, by photographer James Bidgood, of model Bobby Kendall as the Greek god Pan. In the 1960s, Bidgood’s photographs often appeared in “physique” magazines that were covert gay porn. He worked on a shoestring, often building elaborate sets in his cramped New York apartment, but still managed to produce stunningly beautiful work. His highly-stylized, theatrical, fantastical aesthetic has influenced many artists in the decades since. Bidgood and Kendall were also lovers, apparently. And Kendall never worked for another artist.

We are heartbroken to share the tragic news of the death of Jonathan Joss—beloved actor, artist, and gay icon—who was fatally shot on June 1, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas. He was 59 years old. Authorities are investigating the possibility of a hate crime.

Jonathan, of Comanche and White Mountain Apache heritage, rose to fame as the voice of John Redcorn on King of the Hill and appeared in acclaimed films such as The Magnificent Seven and True Grit. Beyond his screen work, he was a tireless advocate for Native sovereignty, queer visibility, and authentic representation.

In recent years, Jonathan came out publicly as a gay man and remained fiercely proud of both his Indigenous and queer identities. He is survived by his husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, with whom he shared a life rooted in love, art, and community.

Jonathan’s legacy is one of courage, truth, and unapologetic presence. His impact on two-spirit and LGBTQ+ Indigenous youth—and on all of us who saw ourselves in his work—cannot be overstated.

We mourn his loss. We honor his voice. We demand justice. Rest in power, Jonathan Joss. You are remembered. You are loved.
