Abstract:: Harry Knox was Freedom to Marry's first program director, serving in that position from 2003 to 2005. Knox was born in 1961 in Massachusetts and raised in Georgia. He studied at the University of Georgia and Miami University of Ohio; he studied to be ordained as a minister in the United Church of Christ, but his ordination was rejected by that denomination. He went on to form George Equality in 1996 and served as that organization's executive director from 1998 to 2001. In this interview, Knox discusses the early years of Freedom to Marry including efforts to engage with state-based LGBT organizations, establishing coalitions with faith-based and people of color groups, and getting the United Church of Christ to endorse marriage for same-sex couples.
