Where does this guy come from? I've not seen him in any newspapers or on TV coverage of "gay rights". Wooyi 00:07, 28 May 2007 (EDT)
- The WP entry on him may be incorrect on his birth date; I have a source says he was born in England in 1912. RobS 00:18, 28 May 2007 (EDT)
- 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.
