Thank you Iamkeri and SNH for your posts. I grew up on the West coast. Before the internet, the way I learned about Queer history was via LGBTQ bookstores, LGBTQ journalism and activist.

I learned of Frank Kameny via a lecture, discussion done by Harry Hay. Harry was another early Queer activist. One of the founders of the Matachine (sp?) Society. He too is gone now. I am grateful for those that came before us and stood up and said "No more!"
