D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty, District Department of transportation head Gabe Klein and Ward 2 Councilman Jack Evans on Friday dedicated part of 17th Street (betwen R & Q streets) to Frank Kameny, an icon in the gay rights movement.
Kameny was booted from the U.S. Army’s map service in the 1950s for being gay, and fought his dismissal all the way to the Supreme Court.
