Today in Gay History - 12/3/11: Troy Perry, Employment, OutRage x 2
December 3

1968 - Rev Troy Perry, founder of the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches, officiated at his first same-sex holy union.

1973 - As a result of the case Society for Individual Rights v. Hampton, proceedings were held to determine under what circumstances sexual orientation may be considered in determining whether a person is suitable for employment in the U.S. Government.

1990 - OutRage, a London direct-action group, staged a march from Coleherne pub to Earl's Court Police Station to protest police harassment of gays in Earl's Court.

1991- OutRage held a zap of the Church of England in response to a press release condemning homosexuality.

(Sorry for the lateness. I overslept!)

1. Troy Perry has done more for so many with so little and has advanced us so much.
Because of him my two worlds are at peace with each other.

Recommended.
