We love informing others of the openly LGBT people who hold office in our country…and the numbers are increasing!
For the residents of Chapel Hill, NC., they are very fortunate to have a well-educated and well-traveled mayor. We also like that he is originally from Illinois.
Openly Gay, Mark Kleinschmidt earned both his juris doctorate and bachelor’s degree in education from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and he also attended Universidad de las Americas.
He was born at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois, and lived in Hawaii and New Mexico before moving to North Carolina at the young age of 10.
Openly Gay Lawyer, David Huebner, is officially the Ambassador to New Zealand! His husband, Duane McWaine, held the bible as Vice President Biden swore him into office. Congrats!
One of our strongest advocates in the Obama Administration, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated “We have to stand against any efforts to marginalize and criminalize and penalize members of the LGBT community worldwide.”
Her Time Made OUR Time Possible…YOUR Time Can Too!
Barbara Gittings-Lesbian Activist. Gittings marched in the first gay picket lines at the White House to protest the federal government’s policy on discrimination of homosexuals, holding a sign that read “Sexual preference is irrelevant to federal employment.”
Gittings met her partner, Kay Tobin Lahusen in 1961 in Rhode Island, they lived, loved, and fought for rights together for 46 years until Gitting’s death in 2007.
As you walk down a street OUT and PROUD, remember your forefathers and mothers who laid that sidewalk down for you.
Alan Cumming just received an OBE from Princess Anne at Buckingham Palace, CONGRATS! This is the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire He wore a kilt in his family’s pattern and looked smashing as always. He has done so much for our community, in the UK and here in the states. He has worked for AIDS charities, fights against homophobia, worked with The Empire State Pride Agenda (which fights for GLBT equality in the empire state) and provided at least us with hours of entertainment. Love everything about him- from Cabaret to the Mask II. He’s just so freakin’ sexy too. Hopefully we’ll make his one man show here in LA that is returning for a short run, head it’s hilarious, hint hint husband.
Let me know what your favorite Cumming moment is? (Tin Man, Spice World… Bond?)
Civil rights activist, public affairs advisor, Author, political strategist David Mixner.
One of our leaders you should know in American Politics. Mixner paved the road so many of us have now found ourselves marching on. Mixner’s story includes civil rights marches in the 60’s, author, once jailed, and fought to end the Vietnam War, end segregation, and secure rights for gays and lesbians.
Mixner won many battles such as No on Proposition 6; he was named one of Newsweek’s most powerful gays, and pledges that one-day LGBT people will see the end of inequality in America. We’ve had the privilege of being introduced and he is just as kind and sweet as we could have ever imagined.
Contact Him and thank him for all of his hard work. We’ll keep marching with him!
