About Jamiel:
Jamiel Terry, “a child of movement royalty”, as the Washington Post once called him, is the son of Randall Terry. Randall Terry, an icon of the religious right,  is the founder of Operation Rescue, which led large-scale nationwide protests against abortion. He is also an outspoken opponent of granting special rights to homosexuals, and has championed the fight against same-sex marriage.  Randall thought his son’s homosexuality was something that he would just have to overcome.  Some very personal and life altering moments in Jamiel’s life finally forced him to face his inner struggle and accept himself for who he was.

Jamiel's Mission:
It is Jamiel’s goal to help build an America where the Constitution is truly applicable to all, and all are allowed life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. He understands that many religious fundamentalists cannot accept homosexuality as moral, and he does not desire to change their beliefs. His goal is to educate others and live his life in such a way that shows that we can live side by side in peace and harmony..
