Day 25 of LGBTQ History Month
In 2003 Silicon Valley was the only major metropolitan region in the country without an LGBT Democratic Club, and Clark Williams was committed to changing that. With an anti-LGBTQ “marriage” amendment to the U.S. Constitution on the horizon, Williams pulled together a group of activists including David Parker, Evan Low, Doug Winslow, and Ray Mueller at the Billy DeFrank Center to organize. This was how the Silicon Valley LGBT Democratic Club, later known as the Silicon Valley Stonewall Democrats, was born.
