Featured in the Austin American-Statesman, Austin Chronicle, L Style G Style, Grassroots Monthly and many online outlets, Peevy is recognized as an agent for change, and a progressive thinker. He has served as president of the Austin Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and is founder and former president of the Austin Gay and Lesbian Pride Foundation, an organization that produces the largest LGBT event in Central Texas.
Among his recent accomplishments, as founding president of Austin’s Gay and Lesbian Pride Foundation, Peevy successfully lobbied the Austin City Council to support Austin Pride as a co-sponsor of the event. The City co-sponsorship meant no fees from the City (approximately $15,000 annually), and recognizes Austin as an LGBT-friendly city in which to live and visit.
As president of Austin’s Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, Peevy successfully lobbied City Council to financially support and officially recognize the organization and also to require City contractors to have a non-discrimination policy in place that protected the rights of people who identify as LGBT. The AGLCC and City of Austin continue to benefit from these efforts.
Peevy received his bachelor’s from The University of Arkansas and master’s from The University of Texas at Austin
