- Summary:
- Urvashi Vaid, an outspoken immigrant, lesbian, and woman of color was a LGBTQ+ leader who believed in human rights for all people and helped shape the modern day gay rights movement. Her vision for the movement serves as a roadmap for generations of activists, particularly as the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer communities currently face backlash against equal rights. Her life in Provincetown, Massachusetts and decades-long relationship with partner Kate Clinton inspired her call to action to achieve equality by creating community. Urvashi's career spanned 4 decades of movement leading activism and philanthropic work. She was the Executive Director of the National LGBTQ+ Task Force and the first woman of color to lead a national LGBTQ+ organization. She is author of several books including Virtual Equality published in 1995, and reminds us There Are Things To Do in championing equal rights and that the best place to start is at home.
