Mr. Alexander Robinson is as of right now is one of our (LGBT) black leaders. I had been trying to get an interview with Robinson for a while. But when you are one of the most important leaders in the LGBT Civil Rights movement it's hard to find an opening in open schedule. I walked into his office and was greeted with a smile. This attractive, sophisticated and magnanimous man quickly shook my hand and let me sit down. I was in awww of his office. I noticed a beautiful picture of him with Senator Hillary Clinton and numerous awards that he earned for fighting for LGBT rights.

I was quickly shown around the office and noticed everyone hard at work. I came back to his office and started my interview with him. Robinson answered all my questions with ease and poise, like he had written them himself. To his flawless hair down to his spit shined shoes this man has it all. A capable and competent staff, a loving partner, and being well traveled who could ask for anything more.

We ended the interview and I went on my way feeling that I was in the presence of a sovereign. I observed Robinson after the interview had officially ended and he was hard at work like nothing had happened. He and his staff are a reminder that Black Gay people have the same responsibility to fight for Gay Civil Rights just as much as our white counterparts.

Interview with H. Alexander Robinson

About H. Alexander Robinson

Robinson is the executive director/CEO of the National Black Justice Coalition (NBJC), a black gay civil rights group launched two years ago by Keith Boykin. Robinson, the former president of the National Task Force on AIDS and a Presidential AIDS Advisory Council alum, signed on to head the affiliation of distinguished gay and gay-friendly African-American advocates, execs and other leaders, and wasted no time in wielding NBJC's clout. The outspoken Robinson blasted the media for sensationalizing the "down low," Rev. Louis Farrakhan for reneging on his promise of an openly gay speaker at last October's Million More March, and President Bush for his inflammatory rhetoric against same-sex marriage in the 2005 election. But under Robinson, NBJC is also in the business of making friends to influence people to deal with the AIDS emergency in the black community. In January, the group made national news by sponsoring the first-ever summit between the black church and black gay leaders to address the lethal link between homophobia and HIV.
