Rachel Maddow And Every LGBT Person Owes Everything To Frank Kameny

Amazeballs LGBT rights pioneer Frank Kameny passed away this Tuesday and if you were too lazy to read our obituary for the man, perhaps you can enjoy Rachel Maddow‘s three-minute rundown of his awesome achievements.

Kameny’s record of awesomeness stretches from the first gay rights lawsuit read by the Supreme Court to a Washington D.C. street named after him. He also witnessed the Presidential repeal of DADT and even donated all his historical LGBT records to the Smithsonian Museum of American History, for their current exhibit.

Most of us will only leave behind a couple of misunderstood tweets and a Facebook Wall filled with Nyan Cat.
