Scott Long (born June 5, 1963, in Radford, Virginia) is a US-born activist for international human rights, primarily focusing on the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people. He founded the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Rights Program at Human Rights Watch, the first-ever program on LGBT rights at a major "mainstream" human rights organization, and served as its executive director from May 2004 - August 2010.[1][2] He later was a visiting fellow in the Human Rights Program of Harvard Law School from 2011 to 2012.[1][3]
Journalist Rex Wockner called Long "arguably the most knowledgeable person on the planet about international LGBT issues."[4] David Mixner called him "one of the unsung heroes of the LGBT community."[5] Long's blog, A Paper Bird, which focuses on global politics and sexuality, has been acclaimed as "must-read," [6] "indispensable," [7] and "brilliant."[8] Hadi Ghaemi, executive director of the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, praised Long's "exemplary dedication and diligence," saying that "His articulate and relentless defense of LGBT rights everywhere is unparalleled, and his tremendous efforts on this front have been a guiding voice for justice and equality."[9]
