Fred Karger (1950 - ). US
Political consultant and gay rights activist, who in 2012 stood as openly gay candidate for the Republican presidential nomination.
His campaign may have seemed quixotic, but Karger was serious about his goal to “open up” the Republican party and to send a message to young people to “stand up and be proud in a tough atmosphere.” He also achieved a notable first by becoming the first openly gay presidential candidate from a major political party in American history.
