A survivor of the 2016 Pulse Nightclub tragedy, he has become a nationally respected voice at the intersection of LGBTQ rights, racial justice, and gun violence prevention—making his perspective both urgent and inspiring.Brandon has transformed personal tragedy into powerful advocacy, honoring victims of injustice through bold action and relentless hope. His courage and leadership have made him a frequent voice on MSNBC, CNN, USA Today, and more. Named one of Out Magazine’s 100 Most Influential LGBTQ People and the author of the acclaimed bestselling memoir “A Place for Us”, Brandon brings an inspiring story of resilience, justice, and the urgent fight for equality.
