Gay pioneer activist Stephen Endean, 44

Stephen Endean, the first executive director of the Gay Rights National Lobby and founder of the Human Rights Campaign Fund, died on August 4 in Washington, D.C., from AIDS complications, two days shy of his 45th birthday.

Endean was the lesbian and gay community's first professional lobbyist and a visionary leader for more than 20 years. As an activist and organizer, he had a passionate belief in the power of mainstream politics to achieve the goal of lesbian and gay civil rights. He was personally responsible for the creation of the community's most important lobbying, grassroots and political programs.

In the years following the New York Stonewall Riots of 1969, Endean sought to mobilize the emerging community as a political force, first in Minneapolis, and later nationally. In 1978 he became the first

executive director for the Gay Rights National Lobby in Washington. He created the HRCF in 1982 as a national gay political action committee and started its "Speak Out" letter campaign.

Born in Iowa, Endean spent most of his life in Minneapolis and Washington. A memorial service will be held at the Metropolitan Community Church in Washingtonon August 28 at 6 pm.
