Fred S. Karger (born January 31, 1950) is an American political consultant, gay rights activist and watchdog, former actor, and former candidate for the Republican nomination for the 2012 US Presidential election.〔Pareene, Alex (2011-03-23) (Fred Karger, gay Republican, for president ), ''Salon.com''〕 His unsuccessful run for the 2012 Republican nomination for President made him America’s first openly gay presidential candidate from either major political party.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fred Karger, gay Republican, for president )〕 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. His running for the Republican nomination for president made him the first openly gay presidential candidate from a major political party in American history.〔Lowery, Jarrod (November 2, 2010) ("Get ready for the next one" ), Indiana Daily Student.
