G. Sterling Zinsmeyer
G. Sterling spent his early career
working for legendary theater and
classical art producers Sol Hurok
and Saint Subber. However, his career took a
new turn following the onset of the HIV/AIDS
epidemic when he started creating special
needs residences for people living with HIV/
AIDS.
As a founding member of the National
AIDS Housing Coalition, Sterling initiated
meetings at the White House and Department
of Housing and Urban Development to address
housing issues pertaining to people living with
HIV/AIDS.
Sterling also became active in local political
circles, rising to serve two terms as president
of the Stonewall Democratic Club of New York
City.
Nearly a decade ago, Sterling returned to
the arts and started developing independent
films. He served as an executive producer
on the award-winning 2003 film
“Latter Days,” the 2005 film “Adam
& Steve,” the 2007 film “Naked
Boys Singing!” and other movies
highlighting queer themes.
Sterling later created,
developed, and produced
the chamber opera “Fellow
Travelers,” which explores the
issues facing a closeted diplomat
and a younger man working in
the Senate during the McCarthy
era. The New York Times featured the
opera among “The Best Classical Music
of 2016.”
Sterling is a board member of the Center for
Contemporary Arts Santa Fe. Sterling and his
husband, Louis Bixenman, split time between
New York and San Antonio.
