Fred S.
Karger (born January 31, 1950) is an American political consultant, gay rights activist and watchdog, former actor, and politician.
His unsuccessful candidacy for the Republican nomination for the 2012 US Presidential election made him the first openly gay presidential candidate in a major political party in American history.
Although he has not held elected or public office, Karger has worked on nine presidential campaigns and served as a senior consultant to the campaigns of Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.
W.
Bush and Gerald Ford.
Karger was a partner at the Dolphin Group, a California campaign consulting firm.
He retired after 27 years and has since worked as an activist on gay rights causes, from protecting the gay bar The Boom to using his organization Californians Against Hate to investigate The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and the National Organization for Marriage's campaigns to repeal the state's same-sex marriage law.
