Bil Browning is a long-time LGBT activist and writer. He is the co-owner and Publisher of The Bilerico Project. He and his partner, Jerame Davis, live with their teenage daughter in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Bil has fought for gay rights since coming out in high school in rural Indiana. He followed the Clinton campaign across America with ACT UP in 1992 and has organized many protests and direct actions over the years since. Bil has led several grassroots coalitions including the one to pass an inclusive human rights ordinance in Indianapolis and has served in the leadership of quite a few LGBT organizations.

As the original “bilerico,” he is thrilled at the response to his dream of a free space where everyone could interact around LGBTQ issues. Little did he know that ten years later a word he invented would stand for equality, dialogue and community. From his personal homepage to a state-level LGBT politics blog and now in a national arena, Bil has guided bilerico.com through its evolution into The Bilerico Project.
