After losing battles in the Federal Court, Kamini submitted his petition to the country’s highest court, although there is no legal experience. In contact, he did a revolutionary thing: he did not deny that he was gay; Instead, the long social beliefs challenge that there is something wrong by nature in the gay.
“The petitioner asserts, categorically, unambiguously, and uncompromisingly, that homosexuality is not only immoral,” Kamini’s books, “for those who voluntarily choose to engage in gay works, such actions are moral in the real and positive sense, and they are good, and stacked in it, socially, socially.”
Although he refused to seek, it will be the crucial moment of Kamini’s life. The focus and the surgical accuracy that qualifies it to direct the missile across the stars from then, will be applied to directing a society that is not willing to the idea that gay Americans were, in every way, worthy of equal rights and respect under the law.
“Frank Kamini was active,” said Jim Obergville, the prosecutor named in the decision to marry the same sex in the 2015 Supreme Court. “Frank Kamini saw the injustice. He was suffering from an unfair treatment, and reached that point that he was no longer ready to accept, and he took a measure, and it was frightening to do it to start these marches in public places, to demand equality and fairness.”
From pegs to pride marches
In 1961, the Supreme Court rejected the petition, Kamini and a fellow activist Jacques Nichols founded Washington, DC, separating the Matachin Association, one of the first gay rights organizations in the country.
At a time when homosexual law was punished, homosexuality was the rule, Kamini declared his identity in the streets, even in front of the White House and other government buildings.
He also persuaded homosexuals and lesbians to capture him and ask equal rights. Those annual demonstrations were crowned to remind the Independence Hall in Philadelphia, which began in 1965 and continued until 1969. Kameny imposed a strict law for participants in the demonstrations to create an atmosphere of respect.
“It was 100 degrees, 100 literally, July was the fourth. “Frank insisted that we all wear coats and relationships and that all women wear dresses and work as” ordinary Americans. “
And she remembered that the activist who followed LGBTQ long ago, Martha Shellley, who also participated in the pegs, wanted to similarly: “I hated having to wear a dress or skirt and wander with the signs of pre -printed sit -in and be respected.”
