Rachel Maddow On Gay Rights Pioneer Frank Kameny
Loading...
Uploaded by SuchIsLifeVideos on Oct 12, 2011
Frank Kameny (5/21/25 - 10/11/11) was one of the most significant figures in the American gay rights movement. In 1957, Kameny was dismissed from his position as an astronomer in the Army Map Service in Washington, D.C. because of his homosexuality, leading him to begin a Herculean struggle with the American establishment that would spearhead a new period of militancy in the homosexual rights movement of the early 1960s. Kameny protested his firing by the U.S. Civil Service Commission due to his homosexuality, and argued this case to the United States Supreme Court in 1961. Although the court denied his petition, it is notable as the first civil rights claim based on sexual orientation.

Good-bye Frank, It was a great honor to have known you. I will never forget you.
-
@VoteYou It's pretty safe to assume someone asking about captions or transcripts *can't hear* the video. But how you went from that request to my not knowing who RM or MSNBC is eludes me.
In any case, I did think this was an official upload, so for that, I apologize. (It would still be great if the stupid things came with captions, though. Very frustrating.)
-
@browneyedgirl65 Oh yes, thanks for making it so clear you are deaf in the first comment asshole and this was not uploaded by MSNBC, go to their official website and there you will find all their videos with CC or not.

@VoteYou What the fuck are you talking about? I'm deaf, not ignorant. I can't hear her, what part of deaf do you not understand? It would be great if her clips came with captions or transcripts and MSNBC can fucking afford to do that.
-
@browneyedgirl65 if yo don't know Rachel Maddow or that she works for MSNBC then you probably shouldn't be watching this in the first place.

A true badass.
RIP

...but according to conservatards and anti-gay bigots, ALL, and I mean ALL gay people die at 30 of AIDS, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Suicide or drug O.D. - this can't be right! I know! This is a homosexual conspiracy! Yeah, this guy wasn't REALLY gay, he was just paid by the Velvet mafia to pretend he was gay and advance their agenda! Take that Glenn Beck! I got to the REAL DIRT FIRST!

He did so much, and he died peacefully. We all owe Frank our thanks.

Can this PLEASE be captioned or a transcript provided? This *is* MSNBC -- not really a hardship to provide for all your online content...
