#2 – Andrew Sullivan
Possibly one of the most intelligent people on our list, Andrew Sullivan is an incredibly well-educated man with a Bachelor of Arts from Oxford University as well as an M.P.A.
and a Ph.D. from Harvard. Widely known as a conservative political commentator, Sullivan is also an author and the former editor of The New Republic. Previously working with some of the biggest media platforms in the world including Time and The Atlantic, he has recently announced his retirement from blogging in 2015.
Openly gay and HIV positive for years, the native Brit had always dreamed of becoming a United States citizen but, because of his HIV-positive status, had always been denied. In 2011 after the ban on immigrants with HIV was lifted, Sullivan was granted citizenship and proudly showed off his Green Card on The Chris Matthews Show. Now living in Massachusetts with his husband, the 52-year-old appears healthy and happy as he openly discusses and advocates for gay rights and HIV awareness.
