Diego Sanchez is the newest edition to Barney Frank's (D-Mass.-gay) staff, and this guy has been around the block a few times and knows what he's doing. He's been named on of the 100 most powerful Latinos in corporate America by Hispanic Business Magazine, and was appointed by Howard Dean to the Democratic National Committee's Platform Committee. The thing that's so important about all this is that Sanchez is a transguy--born female, now male.
Hopefully, Sanchez will have a lot of influence with Frank, who, for a long time, was not sold on trans inclusion in the federal ENDA--and in almost any other gay and lesbian rights battle. But Frank's come a ways since then, and Sanchez will probably have an even greater impact on that. So, Deigo, we salute you. Keep up the good work.
