With heavy hearts, we mourn the loss of David Mixner, a moral force for civil rights and LGBTQ equality for more than 50 years.David came out during a wave of anti-gay campaigns in the 1970s and quickly found his voice as an activist. He rose to play a lead role in advocating for those living with HIV/AIDS; challenging bans on military service, while refusing to accept the damaging policy of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell;” championing marriage equality; and – through it all – transforming the political power and representation of LGBTQ Americans, including co-founding the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund.David stood firm for what he knew was right. He was not afraid to challenge friends and hold us all accountable to our principles in pursuit of a more just world. Today, we join our community in celebrating David’s life of activism. While we cannot repay the investments and sacrifices he made for LGBTQ equality, we can express our gratitude and recommit to the work that he began.
