Peter Staley Biography

In 1987, Peter Staley was a closeted young bond trader working in New York in an environment he describes as hideous and stifling.

"It was like a high-school football team locker room," he says. "Sexist and homophobic and filled with testosterone. You had to play the part in order to survive. I didn't like what it did to me, but being in the closet was that much worse."

No one at work knew he was gay, but he was also keeping secret his recent diagnosis of what was then called Aids‑related complex. Staley's life, he says, changed when he was handed a flyer one day on the way to work. It was from Act Up, the Aids Advocacy group, and he'd just walked past its first demonstration, one powered by fury over the US government's refusal to release drugs that might save lives.

When he reached the office his colleagues were discussing the same demonstration. "Well, if you ask me they all deserve to die because they took it up the butt." This, recalls Staley, from the floor's lead trader. "I just kind of crumbled at my desk."
