Reflections of a Stonewall Warrior – A conversation with Mark Segal

Written By Corey Powell

Gay Rights Activist Mark Segal was just 18 years old when he found himself on the front lines of the Stonewall riots of 1969. He went on to help form the gay liberation front that same year and became a member of the Christopher Street Gay Liberation Day committee, which organized the first gay pride parade in 1970. Segal is the founder and former president of the National Gay Newspaper Guild, founder of the Philadelphia Gay News, and author of the memoir. In our discussion for Instinct Magazine, Mark reflects on LGBTQ equality past and present, including his thoughts on then-President Donald Trump.

I wear many hats as a copywriter, including those of a creative director, content producer, videographer, and social media influencer. From 2011 to 2016 I was an integral part of the internal marketing department at The Vitamin Shoppe - first as a copywriter, then promoted to become the manager of marketing and brand copy. 

Celebrity-driven pop culture definitely takes a front row seat in my world and my secret dream job might be to host a show like TMZ.  In the meantime however, as I await a call from Kim Kardashian, I would love the opportunity to work with strong brands and create great work in the digital space.  So call me and let's chat about your next project ... or Jennifer Lawrence's upcoming Oscar gown.
