::The birth date isn't an issue. The thing I don't understand is that both this and WP article describe this person as important in the "gay rights" movement, while he isn't really well-known, if comparing to the Human Rights Campaign guys and Barney Frank, among others.

:::As the article states, Harry Hay was active in the anti-War movement in 1950, soliciting gays to sign the Moscow directed Stockholm petition. And this ''after'' he left the [[CPUSA]]. So let's not limit his activism to gay rights. [[User:RobS|RobS]] 11:30, 29 May 2007 (EDT)

:::Hay was important in the gay rights movement in the sense that he was the first one to organize a gay rights organization back in the 50s, which was a major achievement and took a lot of courage at the time. He's important because of that, and because the Mattachine Society became a way for gays to speak up against prejudice and discrimination, more than because what Hay advocated or believed.--[[User:Epicurius|Steve]] 10:57, 19 July 2007 (EDT)
