Shannon Price Minter (born February 14, 1961) is an American civil rights attorney and the legal director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights in San Francisco. A 1993 graduate of Cornell Law School, Minter has been lead counsel in dozens of groundbreaking legal victories for the LGBT community. A transman who spent his first 35 years as a female, Minter grew up in East Texas. Minter did not change his name when he transitioned from female to male, although he later added the middle name Price in honor of his uncle who died in 2003. He has a step daughter and wife whom he married in 2001. Minter says he is pained "by the injustice" that transgendered individuals may be legally married in California while gay and lesbian couples cannot.
