2006 winners

Evan Wolfson - Founder and Executive Director, The Freedom to Marry Coalition. Long years before most of us in lesbian and gay and communities across the country had begun to think at all seriously about marriage as a possibility, Evan was already preparing our case! In fact, while still in school Evan wrote his thesis on the topic. That was 1983. And he has been working ever since on our behalf to achieve the freedom to marry. His group, The Freedom to Marry Coalition, is the foremost advocate for this cause in the United States today, and there is nobody who brings more energy, or persistence, or passionate commitment, or sheer intelligence to this issue than Evan Wolfson.
