Meet Our Ambassadors
Rick Foster
Orange County, CA
Rick Foster’s journey as an LGBTQ+ refugee advocate began when he recognized a critical gap in humanitarian support for this vulnerable community. For nearly a decade, he has dedicated himself to amplifying the voices of persecuted LGBTQ+ individuals in refugee camps across Africa.
Despite facing institutional resistance from UNHCR and various governments, Rick’s persistence has brought attention to systemic issues in refugee processing. His advocacy has directly resulted in hundreds of successful resettlements of individuals who had been overlooked by traditional systems.
As his calling evolved, Rick expanded his work globally, advocating for LGBTQ+ protection on an international scale. Throughout his journey, he’s witnessed how the Rainbow Flag serves as a universal symbol of hope and safety for those he helps—echoing Gilbert Baker’s vision of creating a unifying emblem of pride and protection.
Working with minimal resources, Rick continues to build networks that connect vulnerable individuals with lifesaving support across continents.

“I was beyond blessed to have a friend and mentor in Gilbert Baker. My goal and my dream is to be successful at carrying on Gilbert’s struggle for all members of the LGBTQ+ community to achieve equality and acceptance. His iconic rainbow flag has become an international peace symbol offering respite for those persecuted by homophobia, racism, transphobia, and biphobia. Seeing this international symbol waving gently in the wind conveys a strkong direct message from the flag’s hosts: “
We fly this flag because we are proud of this community, and if you should need it, you are safe here with me.” Hal Moskowitz is a veteran activist for the LGBTQ+ community with more than forty years of service. He is currently the Co-chair of the LGBTQ+ Caucus for Democrats Abroad Spain, a founding member of Gays Agains Guns in New York and a former board member of GMHC (Gay Men’s Health Crisis).

Stephen Sunday
Texas
I am Stephen Sunday, an AIDS activist and an advocate for the LGBTQ community for 40 years. I was crowned King of Fantasy Fest in 2013 in Key West by raising the most money for AIDShelp.
I was the sole person instrumental in having the rainbow flag flown year-round in the City of West Palm Beach in June 2018. I had the honor of being the Custodian for section 93 in Washington DC., at the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court during the marriage equality hearing in April 2015.
Today I am the Texas Ambassador for the Gilbert Baker Foundation. I have the honor to showcase Section 102, know as the “Cloth of Love”. My volunteering requires traveling to cities across Texas and beyond to promote education, diversity, respect, freedom, peace and most of all, LOVE!
