Greg Miraglia - LGBT Studies

I have been activity involved in LGBTQ+ advocacy and activism for more than 20 years. In 2010, I created the LGBT Studies program at Napa Valley College in collaboration with City College of San Francisco. I currently teach six different courses in LGBT studies. I am the appointed LGBTQ advocate for Napa Valley College and lead the LGBTQ+ Pride Learning Community.

In 2009, I created Out to Protect, a national non-profit organization that provides training on LGBTQ+ issues for law enforcement. We offer online and in-person classes designed to improve law enforcement's cultural competence around the LGBTQ+ community. I also serve as a guest instructor at the FBI's National Academy speaking about a variety of LGBTQ+ community topics.

My other work in the field includes writing four books on LGBTQ+ issues in law enforcement, serving as the vice-president of the board for the Matthew Shepard Foundation, and hosting an LGBTQ+ news radio program on NPR station KRCB in the North Bay.
