Want to learn about an awesome activist? Check out Harry Hay,founder of the Mattachine Society that xfundy mentioned. He is also one of the men who called forth the Radical Faeries. Having never met him, I still consider him an Elder for myself. There is a great film about him, "Hope Along the Wind".

One of his early proteges was Will Geer (Grandpa Walton)!

Thanks for your honesty about you lack of knowledge regarding Queer Liberation and the movement. The battle for equal rights by one people, is the battle for equal rights for all people.
