How does the gay rights movement compare to civil rights movement
Have there been any notable figures who participated in both movements?
Yes, Bayard Rustin was an African American civil rights activist who also played a major role in the gay rights movement. He was a mentor to Martin Luther King Jr. and helped organize the March on Washington. Rustin was openly gay and fought for LGBTQ+ rights until his death in 1987.
