Ian Buist (actually John Latto Farquharson Buist, born 1930) is a gay rights campaigner and former diplomat. After achieving a first in classics at Oxford he joined the diplomatic service and worked for a time in kenya and East Africa.
Buist joined CHE in 1972, rejecting GLF because 'The “GLF” idea of an anti-family, anti-Establishment social revolution seemed to me unlikely to produce change for the better.'[1]
He has continued to contribute to the ongoing campign for gay rights.
