Sally Huffer is one of the most popular and richest Lgbt Rights Activist who was born on September 17, 1965 in Elgin, Illinois, United States. Sally Huffer (born September 17 1965) is an American LGBT activist that resides in Houston (Texas, USA).
Sally relocated into Houston in 1994 to work as Vice President and Operations Manager for USA Broadcasting of Houston, Inc. She continued in the position till 1999 when the position was eliminated to allow for the merger between the two stations. After the move, she started to be a volunteer for several groups, including The Houston Society of Performing Arts America’s Promise and the Houston Society of Performing Arts, in addition to working over 1000 hours of service at the MD Anderson Cancer Center.
In her spare time, Huffer is active with the Houston GLBT Community Center, Gulf Coast Archive and Museum, and has written for OutSmart Magazine, a Houston magazine for the gay, lesbian, and transgender community. In addition, she edited the Houston Press’ “Best of Houston” editions in 2000 and 2001.
Huffer became involved with the Montrose Counseling Center (MCC) while organizing a successful fundraiser for the ACLU having little help and resources. The Executive Director of the MCC observed Huffer’s hard work and encouraged her to apply for a position at MCC. She was subsequently hired by MCC in August 2000 in the marketing and fundraising departments and now serves as the Community Project Specialist for the center. MCC specifically focuses on the needs of the GLBT community, by providing both psychological and behavioral assistance. In response to the lack of mental health services, MCC established a number of programs, many of which Huffer is involved in, to help empower the LGBT community. At MCC, Sally is involved with the HATCH program, which deals with LGBT and questioning youth and SPRY, which is a program that helps GLBT senior citizens deal with issues of home and health assistance. Huffer also works with MCC’s antiviolence program, which provides resources and assistance for victims of bias and hate crimes, sexual assault, and domestic violence in addition to the Gay and Lesbian Switchboard, a 24-hour crisis hotline. In addition to training individuals for the Gay and Lesbian Switchboard, she helps maintain contact and referrals among LGBT organizations in the community.
Though she was always a strong advocate for LGBT concerns in Chicago but it wasn’t until the late 1990s, when she relocated to Houston that she began to get heavily involved with LGBT and gay-related groups. Huffer is adamant about the cultural shock and change in tone with regard to GLBT issues as the primary motive for her involvement in activism.
