I thought it was absurd, Frank Kameny telling us we couldn’t hold hands in the picket line. That we couldn’t loosen our ties or take off coats. There were women in there. You couldn’t wear slacks if you were a woman. He had made up this set of rules. It was purely for the press. It was the idea that this is the first event of its kind and we want the press to concentrate on the fact that we look and act like everybody else, not like a caricature—whatever that meant to him—of what people thought we were.
