Harvey Milk is probably the most famous LGBT activists but he is certainly not the only one.
In Canada
- Brian Burke - American hockey executive, founder of myGSA.ca
- Libby Davies - NDP Member of Parliament, supporter of same sex marriage.
- Douglas Wilson - writer, scholar, publisher, fought for LGBT rights in Saskatchewan, also an AIDS activist
- Mark Tewsbury - Olympic gold medal swimmer, fights for LGBT rights in sports
- David Corbett - Canadian lawyer, took the Durham Catholic School Board to court to pressure them to allow Marc Hall to attend his high school prom with his boyfriend.
- El-Farouk Khaki - Canadian refugee and immigration lawyer, human rights activist on issues including gender equality, sexual orientation and progressive Islam.
Why do we still need LGBT activists?
