| 500 | |a Barbara Gittings (1932-2007) was a gay and lesbian rights activist and pioneer. Years before the iconic 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City (the marker of the modern gay rights movement), Gittings and other gay Philadelphia activists were campaigning for civil rights. From 1965 to 1969 Gittings participated in picketing at Independence Hall every July 4th. Earlier, in 1958, she founded the New York chapter of the Daughters of Bilitis. In 1971 she became the coordinator of the American Library Association's gay caucus (the first such caucus of a professional organization). In 1972 she was part of the movement (with Dr. John Fryer--whose papers are at HSP--and Frank Kameny) to convince the American Psychiatric Association to drop homosexuality as a mental illness. After Gittings' death, her partner, photographer Kay Tobin Lahusen, donated their papers to the New York Public Library. | ||
