David Fair Biography

David Fair is one of the most popular and richest Lgbt Rights Activist who was born on April 27, 1952 in Southwest Philadelphia, United States.

Fair was born in Southwest Philadelphia. He attended the University of Pennsylvania in 1970, where he was active in the anti-Vietnam War movement as well as the local reform Democratic Party movement and later the LGBT rights movement. At Penn he formed and chaired the Penn Voters Rights Council, and won a successful lawsuit (Fair v. Osser) which won Pennsylvania students the right to register to vote from their campus addresses. He also led Penn People for George McGovern in the 1972 Democratic presidential primary in Pennsylvania. He graduated with a degree in Political Science in 1975.

Fair formally “came out” in 1976 at a meeting of a group of gay and bisexual married men held at the nascent Gay Community Center of Philadelphia. He soon became active in several local gay organizations, including Gays at Penn (GAP). In 1977, GAP led a successful effort to force the university to adopt a sexual orientation nondiscrimination policy. Fair, then an administrator at a local Episcopal Church based on campus, leveraged that activism to organize a group to form a progressive lesbian and gay rights organization, the Philadelphia Lesbian and Gay Task Force (PLGTF). In 1978, Fair led the effort to put on the first gay and lesbian cultural festival outside of New York and California, called the Philadelphia Gay Cultural Festival, which held over 20 events in 1978 and 1979 including films, theatrical performances, comedy performances, lectures and social events. In the summer of 1979, Fair helped form an LGBT Health Committee of the PLGTF, which later formed Lavender Health, later renamed the Mazzoni Center, in honor of physician Peter Mazzoni.
