  • Patricia Nell Warren (born 15 June 1936) is a lesbian American author. Primarily known as an author, Warren is also commonly known as "the mother of Frontrunners" - the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender running/walking clubs that have been started in Los Angeles and other large cities around the world which was inspired by Warren's novel The Front Runner. Warren, aka "Patches", to her Frontrunners family, also frequented the runs and the annual dinners held by the Los Angeles group and participated in the annual Christopher Street West GLBT rights parade as part of the Frontrunners contingent during the 1990s thanks to then president Marty Freedman and then executive board member Don Norte. An article of hers titled "Just Dissent" in 1993 inspired a group of California citizens, lawyers and civil rights leaders (including Patricia) to work with the state legislature to pass legislation to protect the rights of people engaged in peaceful, non-violent civil disobedience. The legislation was ultimately vetoed by Governor Gray Davis. For details and much info on the subject of civil disobedience, go to www. justdissent. org. Warren often travels at the invitation of gay rights and other non-profit groups, and is highly regarded as a speaker. One of many such trips was to Anchorage, Alaska, on November 9, 2002 for the 25th Anniversary of Identity, Inc. , an organization concerned with issues of sexual identity. In December, 2006, Warren announced her candidacy for City Council in West Hollywood, CA. She was unsuccessful in her run.
