A giant for gay rights but a real stinker to those of us who knew him. He was NOT at Stonewall. He also attempted to embezzle $10000 for his "gay archive" from a very wealthy friend of mine in the 1980s. He had a substantial trust fund from his mother's estate that he failed to mention. But God forgive him, he will be remembered!!
@pmitsh Can you prove these allegations? Any links to a more in-depth telling of this issue that you had? A YouTube comment doesn't add up to a more believable disclosure of a man who you claim to have personally known. Not saying that the guy was a saint or publicly adhering to some moral code that prohibited "bad" behavior, but I'm less inclined to believe you unless you name names and how you knew him. Otherwise it's just a rumor.
@CryingSinger I really don't give a twit if you believe me or not. It did happen The event and scandal was widely reported in both the Washington Blade and I think the Post covered it as well. If you're interested in proof a little research should satisfy your interest. I seem to remember a very good reporter named Lou at the Blade. I knew Frank but was not a friend.
@ilive2box The only mention of it on the Washington Blade website is a comment (oddly, replicated word-for-word from your original comment, under the name "William Harrison") under another article gathering memories of Kameny from different people. Again, no such records are currently available online, and they may be digitizing the Washington Blade's pre-2002 archive for eventual online view. Looking through the Washington Post's archive, I saw no story title justifying your claims.
