Lee Craig Schoonmaker (born December 20, 1944) is the co-founder of the Expansionist Party of the United States. Also an advocate for spelling reform and gay rights activist, Schoonmaker claims to have originated the term "gay pride."
Schoonmaker filed to run for President of the United States in the 2000 election cycle. Because the Expansionist Party was not officially recognized as a political party anywhere within the U.S., Schoonmaker filed as an Independent.
