Scope and Content Note The papers of Franklin Edward Kameny (1925-2011) span the years 1843-2006, with the bulk of the material dating from 1957 to 1996 after his dismissal as an astronomer from the United States Army Map Service on charges of homosexuality. Following an unsuccessful legal appeal for reinstatement of government employment which was petitioned to the United States Supreme Court, Kameny became one of the founders of the Mattachine Society of Washington, the city's first gay rights organization, whose stated purpose was to become a “civil-liberties, social-action organization dedicated to improving the status of the homosexual citizen through a vigorous program of action.” This call for social action and legal reform politicized a movement whose priorities, up to that time, had been more focused on education and information and in the process established Kameny as one of the leaders of the modern gay rights movement. The collection contains Kameny's personal papers, case files of numerous individuals he defended at various federal administrative hearings, and records of organizations documenting the growth of the broader gay rights movement both nationally and in the Washington, D.C, area. The papers include correspondence, legal records, drafts, testimony and statements, notes, minutes of meetings, speeches and writings, reference material, printed matter, and miscellaneous material and are organized in the Frank Kameny Papers 5 following series: Correspondence , Case File

  • Thematic Review: American Gay Rights Movement Directions and Obje
    Name:_____________________________________ Class Period:______ Thematic Review: American Gay Rights Movement Although the topic of homosexuality continues to ignite passionate debate and is often omitted from history discussions due to the sensitivity of the topic, it is important to consider gays and lesbians when defining and analyzing modern American identity. The purpose of this activity is to review the struggle for respect, dignity, and equal protection under the law that so many have fought for throughout American history. Racial minorities… from slaves fighting for freedom to immigrants battling for opportunity… to modern-day racial and ethnic minorities working to overcome previous and current inequities in the American system. Women… fighting for property rights, education, suffrage, divorce, and birth control. Non- Protestants… from Catholics, Mormons, and Jews battling discrimination to modern day Muslims and others seeking peaceful co-existence in this “land of the free.” Where do gays and lesbians fit in? Once marginalized as criminals and/or mentally ill, they are increasingly being included in the “fabric” we call America. From the Period 8 Content Outline: Stirred by a growing awareness of inequalities in American society and by the African American civil rights movement, activists also addressed issues of identity and social justice, such as gender/sexuality and ethnicity. Activists began to question society’s assumptions about gender and to call for social and economic equality for women and for gays and lesbians. Directions and Objectives: Review the events in the Gay Rights Thematic Review Timeline, analyze changes in American identity, and make connections to other historically significant events occurring along the way.

    The gay "sip-in" that drew from the civil rights movement By History.com, adapted by Newsela staff on 11.07.19 Word Count 887 Level 1020L Image 1. A bartender in Julius's Bar refuses to serve John Timmins, Dick Leitsch, Craig Rodwell and Randy Wicker, members of the Mattachine Society, an early American gay rights group, who were protesting New York liquor laws that prevented serving gay customers on April 21, 1966. Photo from: Getty Images/Fred W. McDarrah. In 1966, on a spring afternoon in Greenwich Village, three men set out to change the political and social climate of New York City. After having gone from one bar to the next, the men reached a cozy tavern named Julius'. They approached the bartender, proclaimed they were gay and then requested a drink, but were promptly denied service. The trio had accomplished their goal: their "sip-in" had begun. The men belonged to the Mattachine Society, an early organization dedicated to fighting for gay rights. They wanted to show that bars in the city discriminated against gay people. Discrimination against the gay community was a common practice at the time. Still, this discrimination was less obvious than the discriminatory Jim Crow laws in the South that forced racial segregation. Bartenders Refused Service To Gay Couples This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. A person's sexual orientation couldn't be detected as easily as a person's sex or race. With that in mind, the New York State Liquor Authority, a state agency that controls liquor sales, took action.

  • Frank: a Life in Politics from the Great Society to Same-Sex Marriage by Barney Frank
    National Museum of American Jewish History Quarterly Members & Docents Book Club Frank: A Life in Politics from the Great Society to Same-Sex Marriage by Barney Frank Discussed at NMAJH on August 31, 2015 Barnett "Barney" Frank (born March 31, 1940) is an American politician who served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Massachusetts from 1981 to 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as chairman of the House Financial Services Committee (2007–2011) and was a leading co-sponsor of the 2010 Dodd–Frank Act, a sweeping reform of the U.S. financial industry. Frank, a resident of Newton, Massachusetts, is considered the most prominent gay politician in the United States. (Wikipedia) Franklin Edward "Frank" Kameny (May 21, 1925 – October 11, 2011) was an American gay rights activist. In 1957, Kameny was dismissed from his position as an astronomer in the U.S. Army's Army Map Service in Washington, D.C. because of his homosexuality, leading him to begin "a Herculean struggle with the American establishment" that would "spearhead a new period of militancy in the homosexual rights movement of the early 1960s". He has been referred to as "one of the most significant figures" in the American gay rights movement. (Wikipedia) See Page 166 in Frank. Discussion Questions: 1. The autobiography opens with Barney noting a dramatic turnabout from 1954 to 2014. Government went from high esteem to low esteem; gay rights went in the reverse order. Do you agree or not? Why? 2. Could the same observation apply to Jewish politicians? 3.

A Movement on the Verge: The Spark of Stonewall The night of Saturday, June 28, 1969, the streets of Central Greenwich Village were crowded with angered gay men, lesbians, “flame queens”, and Trans*genders. 1 That was the second day of disorder of what would later be called the Stonewall Riots. Centering around Christopher Street’s bar for homosexuals, the Stonewall Inn, the riots began the night before on June 27 and lasted until July 2. These five days of rioting were the result of decades of disdain against the police force and the general population that had oppressed the gay inhabitants of New York City.

Mary ZieglerI ABSTRACT At a time when the Supreme Court seems closer than ever before to treating sexual orientation as a suspect classification, consideration of the legal definition of sexual orientation is both timely and important. The Court’s 2015 decision in Obergefell recognizes two guideposts for defining sexual orientation: its immutability and normalcy. While other scholars offer rich and nuanced accounts of the fight for gay, lesbian, transgender, and bisexual rights, they do not fully analyze the history of sexual orientation as a legal category. This Article closes that gap, illuminating the hidden costs of the definition of sexual orientation that Obergefell endorses. In the past, definitions of sexual orientation based on immutability helped courts turn away equal protection arguments because of the “real” biological differences between same-sex and opposite sex couples.
