She also co-founded and directed an anti-violence organization in Washington, D.C., and where recognized as an expert on the issue of anti-gay violence. Most recently, Conaty has been in California battling the anti-gay initiative Proposition 22, where she serves as press secretary for the No on Knight campaign. In recent years, she worked on gay-related initiative campaigns in Maine and Washington State.
