Photographer Kay Lahusen is a longtime gay rights activist who was one of the original picketers at the first gay rights demonstration in Philadelphia.
From 1965 to 1969, activists Barbara Gittings, from Philadelphia, and Frank Kameny, from Washington, D.C., organized Annual Reminders, demonstrations calling for equal rights for homosexuals staged in front of historic Independence Hall in Philadelphia.
Gittings and Lahusen were life partners for 46 years, until Gittings died in 2007. Lahusen now lives in a retirement community in Kennett Square.
