Called a “historic” choice to deliver this year’s Bayard Rustin Community Breakfast keynote address, Diego Sanchez could say that much of his life – which he sums up simply as one of trail-blazing advocacy centering around GLBT issues, people with or at risk for HIV/AIDS and the Latino community – has led him to this moment.
He is director of public relations and external affairs at AIDS Action Committee (which organizes the Breakfast, now in its 19th year, each year), public relations director for the Washington, D.C.-based AIDS Action Council, and an at-large delegate to the 2008 Democratic National Committee platform committee, the first transgender person ever appointed by a DNC Chair to that standing committee.
