Frank Kameny died October 12. If you don't recognize his name, you are not alone. I didn't know who he was, either. His obituary says he was a gay rights pioneer. He's "famous" for being queer and getting fired from a government position because of it in 1957.
In an AP interview in 2009, Kameny said he wanted to be remembered most for coming up with the slogan "Gay is Good." I feel sure that, on October 12, 2011, God remembered.
