Andrew Yarrow, Vice President and Director of Washington office for the Public Agenda Gay and Lesbian fact page.
Yarrow would be a valuable resource because he spends him time compiling fact sheets on the demographics of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people and their rights (a segment of one of his fact sheets is pictured above). Because he is so focused on the census aspect of the issue, he is close to the hard facts and would not have the personal bias of activitists (The U.S. Census does not ask one to identify as LGBT, so hard statistics are difficult to come by). Yarrow would be able to provide contextual information about how many LGBT people there are in the country and how this has changed in recent years. He would also be able to give information about how he conducted his research and progress that has been made in this movement. Yarrow is also non-partisan, so his information may not be as biased as that of someone who works for PFLAG or another activist organization.
