Previously, Newton said that Henderson was at the Stonewall in 1969, but now denies that. It is a puzzling claim since we all remember when it was founded, Stoehr said. In 1977, Bryant defeated a Miami ordinance banning discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. It was the Dade County Coalition for Human Rights that lead that fight. The feeling that something is not quite right even extends to his age.
Many people lie about their age.
Few do it with the sort of commitment that Henderson exhibits. His undergraduate academic records at Hofstra University give 1944 as his birth year. His arrest records and driver's license give 1953 and 1952, respectively, as the birth year. The date of birth in all records LGNY found was October 5. Henderson appears to have fudged his resume to cut his age.
