Biography
Richard Tafel
Richard Tafel

Richard Tafel is an American politician. Named by "Newsweek" magazine as one of the 30 most influential gay leaders in the United States, he was the founding president of the Log Cabin Republicans in 1990, when it was a nine-chapter organization. Today, it is cited by "The Wall Street Journal" as the group which "AIDS activists credit . . . with helping to open GOP doors on Capitol Hill." Tafel was the only gay leader to testify before the 104th Congress on AIDS issues.

Tafel had previously served as a political appointee of former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld, and as assistant to the minister for special projects in the Memorial Church at Harvard University.
