Andrew Sullivan

Andrew Sullivan is the preeminent conservative commentator on gay and lesbian issues. In the early 1990s, as an openly gay writer for the The New Republic (TNR), Sullivan became known for pioneering articles about gays in the military and same-sex marriage. His 1993 TNR essay, "The Politics of Homosexuality," was credited by The Nation magazine as the most influential article of the decade in gay rights. In 1995, he published Virtually Normal: An Argument About Homosexuality. Virtually Normal became one of the best-selling books on gay rights and was translated into five languages. He authored Same-Sex Marriage, a pioneering book on that topic and one of the leading voices on that subject.

His book, Love Undetectable: Notes on Friendship, Sex, and Survival, is three essays on AIDS, homosexuality and psycho-therapy and the virtue of friendship.

Sullivan's commentaries appear in The New York Times, Time Magazine, and The Advocate among other major publications. He is a frequent guest on national network television.
