I'm finalizing a lecture right now on social activism in astronomy and am adding TODAY'S DATE to Frank Kameny's story.
An astronomer fired for being gay in 1957, he brought the first LGBT civil rights claim to the #SCOTUS 60 years ago.
🏳️🌈💖
Frank Kameny was an astronomer working for the U.S. Army Map Service when he was fired.
He appealed his firing through the judicial system, taking his case as high as the Supreme Court.
Kameny also helped lead picket lines outside the White House.
One of his protest signs:
ALT A protest sign that reads "Sexual preference is irrelevant to federal employment."
