Come celebrate National Coming Out Day
with OUTlaw and
Dr. Frank Kameny

Dr. Kameny is a major pioneer of LGBT rights. In 1957, Dr. Kameny was dismissed from his position as an astronomer in the Army Map Service in DC because of his homosexuality. Four years later, he and Jack Nichols co-founded the Mattachine Society of Washington, an organization that pressed aggressively for gay and lesbian civil rights. In 1971, Dr. Kameny became the first openly gay candidate for the U.S. Congress when he ran in the District of Columbia's first election for a non-voting delegate to Congress.
