Tully Satre height - How tall is Tully Satre?

In May 2012, Satre exhibited a series of paintings in a studio in Chicago's Fine Arts Building after the UK refused to issue him a student visa to attend the Royal Academy of Arts.

Beginning in May 2010, Satre served for one year on the Associate Board for the Illinois Maternal & Child Health Coalition.

In March 2010, Northern Virginia Magazine featured Satre in an article about gay marriage in Virginia. The article mentions that Satre was told by police to leave a neighborhood (despite a 2002 U.S. Supreme Court ruling) for canvassing against an anti-marriage amendment.

Satre's story flew across the social media stratosphere (from Andrew Sullivan's blog, Pam's House Blend to The Advocate' s online edition of their magazine) and was widely covered in local and national print. The New York Times described Satre as "a pony-tailed 16-year-old" who confronted Allen at the town hall meeting geared towards Allen's possible 2008 presidential bid. Local press such as the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star, and the Culpeper Star-Exponent also took to Satre's debacle with Senator Allen. Two months after Allen's run-in with Satre, the veteran Senator made a notorious comment while campaigning, contributing to Allen's notorious image with the press. Allen lost the election and was succeeded by Senator Jim Webb.

Satre was known for his involvement at a young age in gay rights activism in Virginia, which he put behind after moving to Chicago in 2007 for school, though he still wrote for The Advocate at the time.

In 2007, he attended one semester at The Theatre Conservatory of Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University, majoring in Musical Theater.

In August 2007 Satre's "The Voice Project" changed leadership as Satre moved to Chicago. The project no longer appears to be active.

Satre's article on Bisexuality, ("I'm no faggot, I'm bisexual" Published on Advocate.com was the subject of much controversy for the young writer. After receiving an overwhelming response, Satre released a rebuttal to statements made against him in several online gay commentaries. Shortly thereafter, Satre was also widely reprimanded on the blogosphere for his position on the death of Jerry Falwell in his article "No Class" from May 2007.

Satre's last article for The Advocate was published October 2007. He has not published with the magazine since.

In October 2007, Satre began writing new features for Chicago's Windy City Times. Though primarily objective reporting, Satre has published a few op-eds similar to his work with The Advocate.

During the Summer of 2006, Satre attended the NYU Tisch School of the Arts CAP 21 Studio for Musical Theatre.

Tully Satre began a blog in 2006 on LiveJournal documenting his youth activism. Shortly after Satre's blog was launched, AMERICAblog's John Aravosis discovered Satre's online journal after the youth activist wrote about this experience confronting U.S. Senator George Allen at a town hall meeting in Culpeper, an encounter that drew the spotlight on Satre and his work. The debacle about Allen's lack of support for a federal hate crimes bill protecting people based on their sexual orientation, drew nationwide attention on the young activist.

In January 2006, Tully founded Commonwealth Education Equality Virginia (CEEVA), a statewide organization advocating for GLBT/Q youth. He served as president from 2006-2007 but is no longer involved with the organization. In 2007, CEEVA was merged into the Virginia Safe Schools Project.

In 2006 Satre founded The Voice Project for LGBTQI Equality, Support & Inclusion, an internet outreach program for GLBT/Q youth which also promotes civic participation among teens for equality. (TVP formed as a national web and community-based organization which sponsors the online network project known as Equality Myspace.)

In 2006 and 2007, Satre worked with the Creative Youth Theater Foundation and Loudoun Youth Initiative in an original production about bullying. The development of the show was covered in an article in The Washington Post, which highlighted Satre's involvement with the play:

Fueled by the popularity of Satre's story, The Advocate began publishing weekly op-eds written by Satre in May 2006 written by the youth activist.

In June 2005, Tully Satre founded Equality Fauquier-Culpeper in the rural suburbs of Greater Washington. From its founding, Equality Fauquier-Culpeper gained wide media coverage in numerous national and local publications including The Washington Post, The Washington Blade, and The Advocate. Satre served as the Executive Director of Equality Fauquier-Culpeper, which was headquartered in Warrenton, Virginia, from its inception until June 2007 at which point he stepped down from his position with Equality Fauquier-Culpeper and moved to Chicago to attend school.
