The Gay Rights Movement doesn’t start at Stonewall. Frank Kameny was one of the earliest pioneers of Gay Rights. In the 1950’s he was fired from his job as an astronomer for the Army Map Service. His crime: being gay. This leads him to a life of advocacy that starts at a time when it is incredibly dangerous to be gay and out. He takes on Congress, the American Psychiatric Association, JFK + LBJ, and anyone in society who wants gay Americans to feel ashamed of who they are. Listen in to hear about this life of radical activism from a guy who was kind of a square.
