content: On April 17, 1965, a small group of protesters led a demonstration for gay and lesbian civil rights in front of the White House. The protest, organized by Frank Kameny and others, began a series of public demonstrations in Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia that was part of a new militancy in the LGBT rights movement. Following in the footsteps of other civil rights activists, these men and women demanded an end to discrimination by the federal government and full rights of citizenship.
