Frank Kameny honored for a lifetime of activism

Pioneering LGBT-rights activist Frank Kameny, who helped organize the first gay-rights march in front of the White House and played an instrumental role in having homosexuality removed from the list of mental illnesses, will be recognized for his lifetime of activism during this year's Washington, D.C., pride festival.

"He's indomitable. There's no one else like him in the movement," said Dudley Clendinen, co-author of a book about the gay-rights movement in the U.S. "He doesn't relent. He doesn't really negotiate. ... The culture gradually came around to recognize what he early on insisted was fair and true."
