Wake Forest University LGBTQ Center Director Angela Mazaris is available for broadcast, phone and email interviews before 11 a.m. and after 1:30 p.m. on Monday. She also has significant availability on Tuesday for reaction to the state’s response (or lack thereof).
As an advocate on behalf of the LGBTQ community, Mazaris can talk broadly about the bill’s impact on the people, economy and reputation of North Carolina. As an educator, she can also speak about its effects on students across the state. Mazaris is the founding director of the LGBTQ Center at Wake Forest University, where she also teaches in the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program. As LGBTQ Center Director, she provides education, advocacy, and support to the campus community around issues of gender identity and sexual orientation.
She has provided expert commentary for a wide range of national and regional media outlets since HB2 was passed in March, including this op-ed, which ran in the Winston-Salem Journal.
