John Aravosis is an influential United States gay activist and blogger. Aravosis, a former attorney who lives in Washington, D.C., is the founder of Americablog and a co-founder of StopDrLaura.com.

Aravosis is a lawyer and worked on Capitol Hill as a foreign policy advisor for a Republican Senator in the 1990s before becoming a Democratic activist.

In 2005, Aravosis outed Jeff Gannon as a gay male prostitute while Gannon (real name James Guckert) was working as a White House reporter for the right-wing group Talon News.

Also in 2005, Aravosis became engaged in a fight with the right-wing seniors group USA Next over copyright violations in a highly controversial web advertisement that appeared to link gay marriage and anti-military stances to opposition Republican plans to change Social Security. USA Next failed to secure copyright for the picture it used in the web ad.

He also hosts a show on DemsTV that aims to fight the far right.
