Dylan Schwartz
Senior Advisor for Log Cabin Institute

The Log Cabin Institute (LCI) is a Washington, D.C.-based think tank that educates people about the importance of achieving freedom and fairness for gays and lesbians. It is a non-partisan foundation that conducts educational programs, grassroots training, and research on gay and lesbian issues domestically and abroad. We believe we can leverage this unique moment to support President Trump’s vision for the Middle East, highlight Israel’s role as a global leader in human rights and an indispensable ally to the United States, while advancing the safety and security of LGBT people worldwide.
