Alejandro Ugarte (he/him) is a Bisexual, Latinx American from Venezuela living in the Atlanta area. His expertise is Corporate Compliance and DE&I and currently works in the Non-Profit sector. Most of his focus has been on the intersectionality of faith and LGBTQI identity / orientation. In his journey, he went through a residential therapy of 2 years to “try to cure” his “same sex attraction,” but after that he– instead– fully reconciled his faith and sexuality. Today he is happily married to his husband Matthew. He also works to impact the Latinx community where there are fewer resources accessible to the Latinx community and their allies and parents in their own language by creating, translating and interpreting resources. He enjoys funny videos, travel, snorkeling, waterfalls and would move anywhere that had fall/autumn all year round (aahchoo!), and always craves ice cream.
For over 30 years, our organization has achieved great success for LGBTQ+ rights across the state. But the work continues. See the legislative wins, bills in progress and local campaigns that have contributed to progress across Georgia.
