Dustin Kight is a faithful employee of the Family Equality Council (formerly Family Pride). He works as an organizer, trainer and community builder, developing tools and resources to help LGBTQ parents and their allies get active for family equality. Family equality means a lot of things: partner and parental recognition, equity in foster and adoption policy, access to reproductive technologies, not having your family questioned in the grocery store.

Dustin would like to say more about himself, but much of the story is yet untold. In a former life called high school, he was on track to becoming a short story writer and occasional poet at the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities (and, yes, it appears each word was necessary). He grew up in North Augusta, SC and currently makes his home in Somerville, MA. Before that, he spent a year in DC, learning to love hating it.

No one from South Carolina understands. Dustin doesn’t always know how he got to this place, either. Perhaps you’ll hear more about that in posts to come.
