Samuel Otis Brinton (born 1986/1987)[1] is an American nuclear engineer and LGBTQ activist. They served as the deputy assistant secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy from June to December 2022.[2][3][4] Brinton is no longer employed by the Office of Nuclear Energy after being charged with luggage theft on three separate occasions.[4]
Brinton gained media attention in 2010 for their reported experience of conversion therapy,[5] later testifying at the United Nations on the subject in 2014.[6] The gay activist Wayne Besen was skeptical about their account, noting that Brinton had claimed to have experienced electroshock therapy, which had not been used for decades, and other alleged inconsistencies.[5]
Brinton was the first openly genderfluid individual in federal government leadership, and uses singular they pronouns.[7]
