Haiti's very first LGBT rights organization launched in the impoverished country's capital late last year with the help of a recent Tufts University graduate.
Nick Stratton, who was active in Boston Pride and on other LGBT issues while at Tufts, helped Haitians open KOURAJ in Port-au-Prince. He told EDGE that he was "highly involved" with the Haitian American community, both on campus and in the city. Stratton already spoke French and began learning Haitian Creole before graduating.
