As Head of Advocacy and Government Affairs at The Trevor Project, advocate Sam Brinton uses their pride and story of resilience every day to inspire and activate lawmakers, activists and allies in the fight to end conversion therapy practices in the U.S. and around the world. As one of the architects of The Trevor Project’s 50 Bills 50 States campaign, Brinton’s goal is to enact legislation in every jurisdiction that will protect LGBTQ minors from conversion therapy.
Playboy magazine profiled six people—both survivors and LGBTQ activists, including Sam Brinton—who are working everyday to end the practice of conversion therapy in the U.S. The feature, “Faces of Resilience” appears in Playboy’s Summer 2019 quarterly, “On Gender and Sexuality.” These six brave people also inspired Playboy to launch its PRIDE IS GOOD campaign in support of The Trevor Project’s 50 Bills 50 States campaign.
