Former Tempe Mayor Neil Giuliano will become the "face and voice" of a national watchdog organization that fights discrimination against gays and lesbians in the media.
Giuliano, 48, becomes president Sept. 1 of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and will be working mainly with journalists and entertainment companies for the New York and Los Angeles group.
As mayor from 1994 to 2004, Giuliano was one of the nation's most visible openly gay elected officials.
His new full-time job will mix administration and promotion duties.
The group is nonpartisan, said Glennda Testone, communications director: "We don't lobby. We don't endorse candidates. I think he really grasps the power of the media and has passion for gay and lesbian equality."
