Fired for Being Gay, Frank Kameny Ran for Congress
7/22/2024 | 4m 34s
Frank Kameny made history by being the first openly gay man to run for Congress in 1971.
When Frank Kameny was fired from his job with Army Map Service in 1957 because he was accused of being homosexual, he could've gone quietly. Instead, he fought back, founding LGTBQ rights organizations and launching a longshot campaign for Congress in 1971.
