Fighting for the Future of LGBTQ Rights
Joe came out in high school in Oklahoma and has spent his life fighting for the LGBTQ community ever since. He’s mobilized thousands to throw out a homophobic Regent at the University Oklahoma, he’s elected hundreds of LGBTQ folks up and down the ballot across the country, and he’s fought to elect the most pro-LGBTQ US Congresses in history. Joe doesn’t rely on the arc of history bending toward justice, he believes we’re the ones who bend it there.
Fighting for the Future of The Castro
Joe believes that change is the lifeblood of progress and that goes for neighborhoods, too. Joe is a proud Castro resident and is a lead organizer supporting the Castro Theatre’s restoration and updates. He believes that we can preserve our historic spaces but also make room for innovation. Today, those restorations are underway and visitors can already gaze at the refurbished iconic “CASTRO” blade outside the theater.
