For more than 30 years, as an openly Gay person, I have dedicated myself to issues which impact the LGBT community including LGBT Equality, HIV/AIDS, children’s issues, and electing qualified LGBT and fair-minded candidates to public office. In addition to many LGBT organizations, I have also been involved in numerous mainstream community and civic groups. I have worked on and supported many political campaigns. Most recently, I served on two successful local campaigns of openly LGBT candidates; as Chairman of Alex Wan’s election as the first openly Gay man to serve on the Atlanta City Council, and as Treasurer and Political Advisor for Joan Garner’s election as the first LGBT person to serve on the Fulton County Commission. |
