HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!! My first drawing of the month is dedicated to Barbara Gittings Barbara Git

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!! My first drawing of the month is dedicated to Barbara Gittings Barbara Gittings, was among the most important figures in LGBT history. Before Stonewall, Gittings organized the New York chapter of the Daughters of Bilitis (DOB), served as editor of DOB’s magazine, helped organize the first gay rights protests at the White House and the State Department, and organized the five Annual Reminders at Independence Hall from 1965 to 1969. After Stonewall, Gittings and Frank Kameny led the efforts that resulted in homosexuality being removed from the American Psychiatric Association’s list of mental disorders; she also helped form the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF, @thetaskforce). And, for forty-six years, she was an equal partner in a loving relationship with Kay Tobin, another of the founding parents of the LGBT movement. As the executive director of the NGLTF said at Gittings’ funeral: “What do we owe Barbara? Everything.” -- source link
