A former White House aide to President Bill Clinton
He is editor of The Daily Voice, a CNBC contributor and a co-host of the BET TV talk show My Two Cents.
Boykin spent a year and a half working for Michael Dukakis' presidential campaign and then entered Harvard Law School, where he was a leader in the campus diversity movement and general editor of the Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review. He received his J.D. from Harvard in 1992 and then joined the Clinton/Gore Campaign in Little Rock, Arkansas. After Clinton's election, Boykin became a Special Assistant to the President and Director of Specialty Media. Once the highest-ranking openly gay person in the Clinton White House, Boykin helped organize and participated in the nation's first meeting between gay and lesbian leaders and a U.S. President.
In 1997, Clinton appointed Boykin to the U.S. presidential trade delegation to Zimbabwe, along with Rev. Jesse Jackson, Coretta Scott King and Transportation Secretary Rodney E. Slater.

In his book, Dereliction of Duty, Lieutenant Colonel Robert “Buzz” Patterson reveals that one White house emplouee reported seeing a sex encounter between two guys in a White House office. I wonder if this was the guy that got spotted.
