Bio
Waymon Hudson is President and Co-Founder of Fight OUT Loud , a national non-profit organization dedicated to helping LGBT individuals and their allies fight discrimination and hate. He is a vocal community activist and LGBT rights advocate. Waymon is also a political consultant, focusing on new media/social networking and youth outreach.
Waymon has been happily partnered for over 8 years with his husband Anthony. They received their civil union from Vermont and are registered domestic partners in Broward County, where they now live with their two wonderful dogs. They recently married in San Francisco, CA, becoming one of the 18,000 couples to remain married after Prop 8 passed. Waymon and Anthony are also proud foster parents of a now college-aged son.
Waymon was born and raised in Orlando, FL. He has held every stereotypical job a gay man could ask for: performer at Disney World, lounge singer, flight attendant, and personal trainer. All of these jobs helped prepare him for his current life in politics, which is the biggest three-ring circus of all.
