AME National Convener, Alex Greenwich, has been named as one of this year’s 25 most influential gay and lesbian Australians.
According to Samesame, which sponsors the annual 25-most-influential list:
In his high-profile role heading up our nation’s leading marriage equality group, Greenwich has found himself frequently the focus of media attention, which he handles professionally and eloquently, embarrassing those on the other on the other side of the debate who are less persuasive.
Avoiding slapdash stunt antics altogether, his attention-grabbing campaigns get his organisation noticed and help sway public opinion as the same-sex marriage debate stays in the media spotlight, despite the efforts of the two main political party leaders to quash it.
“One of the great strengths of Australia’s GLBTI community is the successfulness of our activists,” says Greenwich when we tell him he’s made our list. “To be considered as someone who has contributed to that success is truly an honour. I am totally proud to be part of a community that has never taken “no” for an answer and has always fought to be treated equally.
