Blade Editor Kevin Naff named LGBT History Month Icon
Washington Blade Editor Kevin Naff was named a 2024 LGBT History Month Icon by the Equality Forum, the group announced Tuesday.
Each year, the international LGBT civil rights organization designates a new “icon” for each day of the month of October, which is recognized as LGBT History Month.
Naff is among this year’s recipients of the honor and will be celebrated on Oct. 13 on Equality Forum’s website, equalityforum.org.
Naff has worked at the Blade since 2002 and served as its editor for most of that time. He published his first book in 2023 titled, “How We Won the War for LGBTQ Equality — And How Our Enemies Could Take It All Away.” He has won numerous awards for his editorial writing from the Society of Professional Journalists and served on the boards of multiple organizations, including the D.C.
