}}Sylvia Rhue is an African American writer, filmmaker, producer, and LGBT activist.[1]

Early life and education

Rhue was born in Pasadena, California in 1947. Her parents, a railroad worker and a secretary, were Canadian immigrants.[2] Rhue's maternal great-great-grandmother, a slave, was born in Blair House, the President's Guest House.[2] Rhue grew up attending a traditional black church.[3]

Rhue came out as a lesbian in the early 1970s. She had little support at that time, other than one book, Lesbian/Woman.[4]

Rhue earned a degree in Psychology/Sociology from Oakwood College (now University), and a Master of Social Work from UCLA.[5] In 1986, Rhue graduated from the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality, becoming the first African American to receive a Ph.D. in Human Sexuality.[1][5]

Career

Rhue found employment as a psychiatric social worker and as a sex therapist, working specifically with the African American community.[1] In 1988, Rhue helped found the Black Gay and Lesbian Leadership Forum.[6]

In 1996, Rhue co-produced and co-directed (with Oscar-nominated directors Frances Reid and Dee Mosbacher) the documentary All God's Children, which dealt with African American family and religious values, civil rights, and homophobia.[5] The film won several awards, including Best Documentary at the National Black Arts Film Festival, and a Lambda Liberty Award from the Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund.[7][8] Other films produced by Rhue include "Women in Love", "We Have a Legacy", and "Women and Children: AIDS and HIV."[3]

Rhue served with the National Black Justice Coalition from its founding in 2003, as a board member and a director.[1][5][6] She spoke out against condemnation of the LGBT community by the religious right, once stating, "Love is the engine of the universe and cannot be boiled down to tab A goes into Slot B."[9] In 2006, she helped organize the Black Church Summit in Atlanta, to promote acceptance of gays and lesbians in black churches.[10]

Rhue has also worked for the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Rights and as Director of Equal Partners in Faith.[1][11] She has contributed articles to The Huffington Post[5][12] and other publications.
