Beginnings of Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network

Kevin Jennings received a "list of the twenty biggest donors to gay causes" from Bill Clinton "confidant" David Mixner which allowed the Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network to expand:

"In 1993, Jennings was awarded a Klingenstein Fellowship at Columbia University's Teachers College. He left Concord Academy that year and moved to New York where, in 1994, after receiving his M.A. from Columbia, he started the process of making GLSTN a national organization. GLSTN received $25,000 from an anonymous donor and Jennings set to work running the organization.

That same year he published his first book, One Teacher in Ten: Gay and Lesbian Educators Tell Their Stories. The book compiles the stories of 40 glbtq educators who discuss what it is like to be gay and teaching.

In his travels to help establish GLSTN chapters in 1994, Jennings met David Mixner, then a confidant of President Clinton, who gave him a list of the twenty biggest donors to gay causes, and GLSTN began to receive the funds necessary to expand."

Helped People Commit Suicide

In 2014, David Mixner admitted "to assisting suicide of 8 men with AIDS in the 80s...during a performance of his one-man stage show Oh Hell No, put on to raise money for a LGBT youth scholarship charity."
