He is also a contributing writer at Change, and is syndicated weekly at 365Gay. His work has also appeared in Bilerico.

He has been a guest on several radio programs, including The Michelangelo Signorile Show. On the Internet since blogs were called journals and AOL charged by the hour, David Badash writes about politics in general and gay rights in particular. His writings focus on issues that are decisive and challenging to our lives, and to this country. With the heart of a liberal and the mind of an analyst, David pulls seemingly disparate stories together to help people see their world from divergent yet comprehensive points of view. David graduated in 1985 and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Parsons School of Design. He lives in Hell's Kitchen in a tiny studio apartment with his partner Caleb, a great view, and a great Black Lab puppy named Text. http://thenewcivilrightsmovement.com http://davidbadash.com
