A hero has fallen: A tribute to Mike Berman
A great hero has fallen. He was a gift to many but all should know that he was one of the greatest gifts ever to the LGBTQ community.
Mike Berman was among the most sophisticated political advisers in the history of this country. For the past three generations he has advised presidents, and an army of elected officials, strategists, and operatives.
Mike was among a handful of straight people elected to the board of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest civil rights organization working to advance gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality.
He was so trusted, he was then elected to co-chair the board of that institution. Like so many, I feel so blessed and grateful to have had the benefit of Mike’s wisdom and insight throughout my tenure as president of the Human Rights Campaign.
