Meet Peter Perkowski, the Bi Attorney Who’s 

Helping Meet Trump’s Ambush of Transgender 

Service Members with Civil Rights-Lawsuit 

Counterstrikes 

By Vic Gerami 

If being white, male, cisgender, and of the 

professional class are temptations for people 

like civil rights attorney Peter Perkowski (he/ 

him) to luxuriate in the comforts of acceptance 

and privilege in 21st century America, count the 

native of rural, western New York untempted. 

“I didn’t come out until going to college,” 

Perkowski, who is bisexual, says. “I saw inequality 

and injustice everywhere, and it was my goal to 

change that.” 

The politics of geography is a theme that helped 

shape Perkowski’s early view of both how 

LGBTQ+ are impacted by bigotry, intolerance and 

hate – as well as how he might be most effective 

in making change. 

high-profile LGBTQ+ leaders to campus,” 

Perkowski recalls. “Urvashi Vaid, then the leader 

of the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force; Joe 

Steffan, a midshipman at the US Naval Academy 

who was expelled six weeks before graduation 

for refusing to lie about being gay—each of these 

speakers awed and inspired me.” 

By 1992 Perkowski was a volunteer working to 

help end 12 years of Republican governance from 

the White House. He even met then Gov. Bill 

Clinton, that election year’s Democratic nominee, 

when he came to visit Rochester. Clinton’s 

election broke the 12-year pall that hung over 

LGBTQ+ progress, sidelining queer rights and 

HIV/AIDS research and services work at the 

federal level. It seemed a new day had dawned in 

Washington. 

“I went to law school in D.C. because it was the 

seat of the federal government, and I wanted to be 

where laws could be changed,” he says. 

“But things got worse. In 1996, I sat in the gallery 

of the US House of Representatives as the Defense 

of Marriage Act [DOMA] was debated. Almost 

all of the comments [from the House Floor] were 

demeaning and offensive. They were personal 

attacks against me and all LGBTQ+ people.” 

Though in his mind late to come out, Perkowski 

soon transformed into a student activist. He 

eventually took the top leadership post at his 

college’s LGBTQ student group. Organizing 

seminal speaker events ignited a fire in his 

belly that even today fuels his work fighting 

injustice based on against gender identity, sexual 

orientation, HIV status, and other marginalized 

communities. 

Perkowski was at once devastated but also 

resolved by the legislative hate-fest into which the 

DOMA debate devolved. 

Nowadays, Perkowski looks for and relentlessly 

engages the toughest legal battles where basic 

equality and justice must be won in his fight for 

America’s most vulnerable LGBTQ+ people, lest 

the essentialist promises of the US Constitution, 

already struggling to survive in the Trump Era, be 

relinquished entirely. 

“Our 20 LGBTQ+ IF YOU group LIKE at US, college PLEASE brought LIKE US many ON FACEBOOK: DESERTDAILYGUIDE 

Currently, he is Legal & Policy Director of the

Modern Military Association of America 

(MMAA), the nation’s largest non-profit 

organization for the LGBTQ+ and HIV+ 

military and veteran community, a post he’s held 

for almost four years. 

“I come from a military family,” says Perkowski. 

“In a sense, the job allows me to serve the 

military community in a way I wasn’t allowed 

to before, and to fight for equal treatment at the 

same time.” 

Perkowski sees Trump’s actions barring some 

Americans from serving our nation in the 

military as a clear betrayal of brave service 

members who happen to be transgender. 

“People do not realize that the fight for 

equal service did not end with the repeal of 

‘Don’t Ask-Don’t Tell,’” he says. “The military 

community that we at MMMA serve is still in 

crisis.” 

Along with partners, Lambda Legal and the 

law firm Winston & Strawn LLP, the Modern 

Military Association of America, he is facing 

off against the Trump Administration in four 

federal court actions: one challenging the 

constitutionality of Trump’s ban on military 

service by transgender people, and three seeking 

to change policies that negatively impact service 

members living with HIV. “The [MMAA] job 

gave me the privilege of being able to file four 

lawsuits on behalf of transgender and HIV+ 

patriots who want nothing more than do their 

jobs and protect the country.” 

Perkowski feels a personal connection to his 

work. 

“In 1998, I was diagnosed with HIV,” he says. “I 

had just graduated from law school, was about 

to move from D.C. back to Los Angeles, and was 

taking the California bar three weeks later.” 

An unexpected outcome of Perkowski’s 

diagnosis was a clearer sense of purpose he 

gained. But first his fears had to be resolved. 

Fortunately, that happened sooner than it likely 

would have in the earlier years of the HIV 

pandemic. 

“The person delivering the news told me exactly 

what my brain needed to hear: ‘You’re not going 

to die from this.’ As time went on, I came to 

realize that my diagnosis was a gift. In addition 

to fighting for the rights of LGBTQ+ people, I 

fight for equal treatment for people living with 

HIV.” 

Spotting, Standing Up to Bullies 

As Chair of APLA Health’s Board of Directors, 

he’s helped lead the organization during its 

transition from an AIDS service organization 

(formerly, AIDS Project Los Angeles) to a 

health care clinic serving LGBTQ+ and other 

marginalized communities while maintaining a 

focus on HIV care. During his tenure at APLA 

Health, the organization has nearly tripled its 

budget to $60 million, becoming one of the 

largest health centers in the Los Angeles area. 

Experience has taught Perkowski that the 

work of a civil rights attorney in the LGBTQ+ 

and HIV spaces won’t end anytime soon. 

Discrimination has a way of persisting and 

rearing its ugly head just when you think the 

fight is almost won. A professional history 

of pro-bono and the trend for bigotry and 

discrimination to get dressed up in so-called 

religious freedom are among the reasons 

Perkowski says he’s committed to the fight for 

equality and justice for the long haul. 21

If you are a fan of any sports team 

you probably can describe the logo 

of the team in detail. The art of 

designing a sports team logo takes 

into consideration all of the elements 

of design creation. The basic elements 

of design include line, shape, form,

bears, bulls, rams, etc. The shape of 

the logo usually has a significance 

with the name of the team. for 

example, the Minnesota hockey team, 

the Minnesota Wild is a somewhat 

generic term but also descriptive. 

The shape of the logo encompasses

color, texture, and space. Taking these 

elements of design into consideration 

separately it can be identified in the 

creation of a sports logo. 

pine trees in an outdoor setting with 

slashes and a shooting star, looking 

carefully at the perimeter shape of 

the logo you see an animal head 

resembling a cougar or cat-like shape. 

Line: in logo design is used as in any 

art to direct visual attention The 

direction of attention to a viewer of 

a logo can raise excitement, create a 

certain tension and even provide an 

emotional element of recognition and 

loyalty to the team of the logo. As an 

example, the Washington Redskins 

sponsor FedX portrays the logo of 

FedXField on their stadium. It directs 

the eye toward the Red Skins logo 

Shape: Logos reflect something 

about a sports team such as location, 

name of the team, of which many are with a clever arrow incorporated

Form: Could refer to the general outline 

of the logo or elements within it. One 

of the most recognized famous logos 

is of Yoga Australia in which the yoga

shape of the map of Australia. The 

question may arise in your mind, is yoga

history of how logos originated in 

sporting events in general.

an official alternative sport although not 

a competitive sport the idea is that the

Color: is another major design element

and country patriotism are intertwined

with his religious aunt Lourdes in a quiet 

country town. He helps his aunt by holding 

religious meetings with the ladies of the 

area, in the living room, playing biblical 

songs on the keyboard. This quiet life 

will end as soon as the charitable aunt 

communicates the arrival of another

reality between the cousins ends up causing
