Human Rights Campaign

In Memory of Bruce Bastian

The Human Rights Campaign family mourns the loss of Bruce Bastian, tech entrepreneur, HRC board member and fierce advocate for equality, who passed away peacefully at the age of 76, surrounded by his four sons, his husband, Clint Ford, and friends and other family members.

Bastian joined the HRC board in 2003. The following year, alongside then-fellow HRC board member Julie Johnson, Bastian served as co-chair of the board’s successful effort to help defeat the Federal Marriage Amendment, a proposed amendment to the Constitution that would have specified marriage as legal only between a man and a woman.While fighting for equality in Washington, Bastian also cultivated deep roots for LGBTQ+ inclusion in Utah. Over the course of several decades, he supported Equality Utah, Utah Pride Center, and Encircle, among many other organizations in winning historic victories for LGBTQ+ rights.

We are devastated by Bruce's passing. His legacy will have an undeniably profound impact on the LGBTQ+ community for decades to come,

Give monthly to support LGBTQ+ equality.
