Early life and educationRothblatt was born to Bina and transgender businesswoman Martine Rothblatt.[2] His parents founded several companies, including Sirius Satellite Radio and United Therapeutics.[3] He is married to Taj Rothblatt, and they have four children together.[4] Following his graduation from high school, Rothblatt attended the University of Vermont and earned a degree in political philosophy.[2] In addition to political activism, Rothblatt works for MIO, LLC as a property manager, and previously managed a restaurant franchise and worked as an insurance broker.[2] Rothblatt's great grandfather Isadore Rothblatt was a union organizer and was beaten to death by anti-union thugs because of his union activities with the Leatherworker's Union of Chicago.[4] ActivismHuman rightsRothblatt is an outspoken advocate for human rights. He is Black, Jewish, and comes from a LGBTQ family.[5] In the "Dude Looks Like a Lady" benefit for the Women's Center of Brevard, Rothblatt dressed as Oprah Winfrey to bring attention to women's rights.[6] In his November 2014 campaign, Rothblatt was endorsed by the National Organization for Women,[7] the Teamsters Local Union 769,[8] and he was a featured speaker at the South Brevard NAACP banquet dinner.[9] Rothblatt is a Member Delegate of the Space Coast Progressive Alliance and Vice President of the Brevard Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.[10] SpaceRothblatt is an advocate for space, public speaker on the advantageous of investing in space settlements, and President of the Florida Space Development Council, the National Space Society's local chapter.[11] In a talk hosted by students from SEDS, at the University of Michigan, Rothblatt advocated that space exploration should not resemble the space race but should be an endeavor of international collaboration.[5] In a congressional debate, Rothblatt stated that he believes missions to the moon, mars, and asteroids should be a priority, and under the right plan a 1,000 people could be in space within a decade.[12] Space was such a significant part of Rothblatt's campaign BBC News ran a story covering both candidates position on space and titled it Florida's space race: The politicians battling over the cosmos.[13] Lisa Miller, from New York magazine, wrote that the first item on Rothblatt's platform is "space."[14] Rothblatt has written on various space topics including spacesteading[15] and panspermia.[16] TranshumanismRothblatt is a Pastor, Community Organizer, and member of the Board of Directors with the Terasem Movement and codirector of worldfuturist.net.[17][18] Subscribers to the Terasem movement believe technology will one day make it possible to make digital copies of oneself.[19] Peter Rothman, from Humanity+, wrote that Rothblatt may be the first openly transhumanist political candidate in the United States.[20] Rothblatt writes and speaks on transhumanist topics, such as seasteading,[21][22] cryonics,[23] religion,[24] mind uploading,[25] and technological discrimination.[26][27] Political campaignsDuring the 2014 Midterm elections, Rothblatt ran as a Democratic Party candidate against incumbent Bill Posey in Florida's 8th congressional district.[28] Rothblatt qualified for the ballot through the petition method by gathering 4,936 signatures; the minimum required was 4,834.[29] Issues of concern to Rothblatt were technological unemployment, protecting family values, promoting education, protecting the environment, developing space, and human rights.[4][30] The candidates' debates covered Obamacare, abortion, military action, environmentalism, renewable energy, same-sex marriage, and the government shutdown; and according to Posey the debates demonstrated their ideological differences.[12][31][32] Rothblatt's belief in transhumanism and his family ties were both regularly covered by the media. Jessica Roy, from Time, reported that Rothblatt's status as a member of Terasem may be just as difficult for his campaign as being a Democrat in the Republican majority district.[33] During a campaign event, gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist introduced Rothblatt by saying “Gabriel is the messenger that God sent."[6][34] Other opinions of his campaign were more critical. Katie Prill, from the National Republican Congressional Committee, wrote "his radical ideas are too extreme for Florida families."[30] Posey's spokesman, George Cecala, stated that, "It all comes down to the real issue, and that is Bill Posey is a conservative and Gabriel Rothblatt is a liberal.[30] Posey won the election with the majority of the vote; however, Neely Tucker from the Washington Post called Rothblatt's campaign "a respectable debut,"[35] and Dustin Ashley wrote his campaign "opens the door for other transhumanists to become part of the political action."[36] SpacePACRothblatt was supported by SpacePAC, a Political Action Committee (PAC) founded by his parents.[30] Under campaign finance laws, PACs are not permitted to collaborate with the candidate.[30] Due to these restrictions, the Rothblatts were not permitted to discuss the campaign together until the election was over.[30] The PAC drew criticism from an editorial page of the New York Times due to the family relationship between the founders of the PAC and Rothblatt's campaign.[37] USA Today reported that Rothblatt did not know that his parents were setting up the PAC until he saw yard signs promoting his candidacy.[38] According to William Patrick, from Watchdog.org, Posey knew of the family relationship between Rothblatt and the PAC, but Posey declined to comment.[39] Dave Berman, from Florida Today, reported that even with the support of SpacePAC, Posey's campaign had far more funds than Rothblatt's campaign.[40] Alex Leary, from the Tampa Bay Times reported that SpacePAC was not the first PAC to be set up by a wealthy parent to support their child's campaign.[41] References1.
