"President Obama has promoted the first openly transgender person to work in the West Wing to be the White House's top liaison to the LGBT community.

Raffi Freedman-Gurspan, who is Jewish, has been serving as the Outreach and Recruitment Director in the White House Office of Presidential Personnel since last year.
