Editor’s note: Richard Rosendall of the Mattachine Society of Washington was on a panel at AwesomeCon last month on using comics to tell D.C. history. Below are his prepared remarks for the panel regarding the story of gay rights advocate Frank Kameny, which was illustrated on ReDistrictedComics.com.
