The Washington Blade’s Lou Chibbaro Jr.
has the fascinating story of Timothy Clark, 35, the sole heir of gay rights pioneer Frank Kameny, who died in October. Clark was a 15-year-old growing up in Southeast when he first encountered Kameny in 1991, calling a gay support hotline he ran. Over the next two decades, the two developed a deep friendship that was “[v]irtually unknown to Kameny’s circle of friends and political associates in the LGBT rights movement,” and where the relationship was known, it was little understood. “Frank was like a grandfather to me,” Clark tells Chibbaro. “We had our ups and downs, but that’s what families do.”
