South Florida Gay News, one of South Florida’s most important LGBTQ+ news sources, brings this special report about community organizer and Queer News Tongiht anchor Eddie Marti Kring. As a 6 and a half-year-old in 1991, he left Cuba and his beloved grandmother, with whom he shares a May 13 birthday. A few years later, he cowered in a Hialeah closet as his new stepfather beat his mother. At 16 he became homeless when she kicked him out for being gay. Despite it all — and with the help of friends and a new adoptive family — Martí Kring managed to put himself through high school and college to become one of Florida’s new generation of equal rights activists. Now 37, he is SAVE LGBTQ’s community and field organizer and newly enrolled in a national social-justice program that trains women and people of color. To find out more about this amazing story, make sure to pick up the newest issue of SFGN, on stands now.
