Waymon Hudson is President and Co-Founder of Fight OUT Loud. He was inspired to get involved in activism and create Fight OUT Loud as a result of an eye-opening experience of discrimination (see "OUR STORY").
He is a vocal community activist and LGBT rights advocate. He is also a contributing editor for The Bilerico Project, the nation's leading LGBTQ blog forum, and a political columnist for the online magazine GaySoFla.com. Waymon is also a political consultant specializing in web-based action, social networking, and youth outreach.
Waymon was one of the leaders in the fight against Mayor Jim Naugle of Fort Lauderdale and his recent string of anti-gay comments. He, as President of Fight OUT Loud, helped organize the Unity Rally at Fort Lauderdale City Hall on July 24th. He and Fight OUT Loud have been at the forefront of this and many other efforts for LGBT rights and equality.
Waymon has been happily partnered for 6 years with his husband Anthony Niedwiecki, a law professor and administrator at Nova Southeastern University. They received their civil union from Vermont and are registered domestic partners in Broward County. He also is the proud foster parent of a now college-aged son.
