Richard Grayson Biography

Richard Grayson is one of the most popular and richest Lgbt Rights Activist who was born on June 4, 1951 in Brooklyn, Brooklyn, United States. Grayson was born in 1951 and attended New York public schools, graduating from Midwood High School in 1968. He attended Brooklyn College and received a B.A. in political science in 1973 and an M.F.A. in creative writing in 1976; Grayson also received an M.A. in English from Richmond College (now The College of Staten Island) in 1975. His stories began appearing in literary magazines in the mid-1970s, and in 1979, his first book-length collection of short stories, With Hitler in New York, was published. In the same year Grayson, active in liberal politics since his teenage years, registered with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) as a candidate for Vice President of the United States, receiving coverage for his humorous “campaign” in The New York Times and various other media outlets.

By 1979, Grayson had over 125 stories published in magazines and anthologies. He remained a prolific writer in the early 1980s, when several short story collections came out in quick succession: Lincoln’s Doctor’s Dog (1982), Eating at Arby’s (1982), and I Brake for Delmore Schwartz (1983). Grayson’s stories from this period characterized by an extreme self-consciousness, an appreciation of wordplay and jokes, and confessions of ineptitude on the part of the author. Most of these stories originally appeared in journals such as Transatlantic Review, Texas Quarterly, California Quarterly, and Epoch.

Grayson also worked in the unsuccessful 1994 campaign to defeat an anti-gay rights referendum in Alachua County, Florida, where Gainesville is located. He was a member of the board of directors of the Human Rights Council of North Central Florida and its political action committee, which in subsequent years managed to help elect enough pro-gay candidates to the Gainesville city commission to pass local gay rights legislation.

Grayson’s experience as a lawyer and gay activist informed some of the stories in his 1996 collection, I Survived Caracas Traffic, whose title story Kirkus Reviews called “a resonant meditation on the themes of relationships, AIDS, and mortality.” Another story in the same volume is “Twelve Step Barbie,” which, along with “With Hitler in New York” is probably the author’s best- known work and the subject of academic criticism. The New York Times Book Review called the book “far too bright and keenly made to flick casually away.”

He began a long career in higher education as an adjunct lecturer in English at Long Island University in 1975, and has taught English and other subjects at numerous colleges and high schools in New York, Florida, and Arizona. His parents moved to Florida in the late 1970s, and in January 1981 he relocated to Florida also. For several years he divided his time between New York City and South Florida, where many of his stories are set.

Richard Grayson (born June 4, 1951 in Brooklyn, New York) is a writer, political activist and performance artist, most noted for his books of short stories and his satiric runs for public office.

Grayson’s fiction is largely autobiographical, or pseudo-autobiographical, and his early work was heavily influenced by the metafictionists of the 1970s, such as John Barth, Donald Barthelme, Ronald Sukenick, and his mentor, Jonathan Baumbach, who headed the Brooklyn College MFA program in fiction and was one of the founders of the publishing cooperative The Fiction Collective, for which Grayson worked as an editorial assistant in the 1970s.

In 1983 Grayson filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to run for President of the United States as a Democrat. Over the next year, the exploits in his humorous campaign to replace President Ronald Reagan were widely covered in the media. Perhaps his best-known remark, quoted in Time, USA Today, and The Wall Street Journal, was his explanation of why he asked the actress Jane Wyman, star of the then-current nighttime soap opera Falcon Crest and the former wife of the incumbent President, to be his Vice Presidential running mate: “She already has experience in dumping Ronald Reagan.” Other platform planks in the Grayson campaign included making El Salvador the 51st state and moving the U.S. capital to Davenport, Iowa.
