#OnThisDay 2018: @BarackObama writes to Dick Leitsch (below), former president of the New York chapter of the Mattachine Society and organizer of the history-making "Sip In" at @JULIUSBARNYC. #MakingGayHistory #DickLeitsch #MattachineSociety
In our latest episode, you’ll hear #DickLeitsch talk about a picket he participated in across the street from the United Nations. That protest was held on April 18, 1965, and was the fourth-ever gay rights demonstration in the United States.

From @EricBMarcus: Sometimes it takes a few decades to gain the perspective you need to recognize a hero. When I first interviewed #DickLeitsch in 1989, I came armed with preconceptions about pre-Stonewall activists. I left Dick’s interview on the cutting room floor.
🌈For #LGBTQHistoryMonth we honor an activist who we lost this year, the incredible #DickLeitsch. Dick was President of the Mattachine Society, and led a '66 sip-in protest at Julius’ Bar in NYC. ✊🍸❤️ Read about his life here 👉 https://t.co/p0G4EpUSpF

Sharing a #tribute to #RichardLeitsch AKA #DickLeitsch of #NewYorkCity #NewYork.
A well-written, comprehensive article about an interesting, bold #humanitarian I hadn’t heard until now. #share #GayRights #LGBTQ #history #memorial https://t.co/1UKh3gCNb9
Leitsch, collaborating with poet Allen Ginsberg and meeting with city leaders, led a 1966 campaign to end the practice of gay entrapment in New York. https://t.co/ADDB32fhDP
Thank you @NBCNews for honoring a pioneer in the movement for #lgbtequality. RIP #DickLeitsch (PS if you’re gay and don’t know what the Mattachine Society was, Google and read some important history!)
As a friend said, and on #Pride weekend. We've lost a huge part of our history. Rest now, you've more than earned it. #LGBTQ #Stonewall #Julius #Pride2018

Incredibly this really WAS a thing back in the day. RIP #DickLeitsch a true #LGBTrightspioneer just as the drag queens and men of color were at #Stonewall when it was considered "normal" for cops to raid bars merely because there were gay people inside https://t.co/0ywb4MZdv4
We’re bringing you this episode with heavy hearts. #DickLeitsch, an indomitable character and an early trailblazer in New York City’s 1960s gay rights movement, has died. Listen to our tribute: https://t.co/DfubHjYnTZ

Anni ‘60, negli USA una legge vietava ai locali pubblici di servire clienti omosessuali. In questa foto del 1966 la protesta di #DickLeitsch e altri attivisti gay mentre chiede di ordinare in un bar. Un vero atto di disobbedienza civile che è Storia #RIP #Pride
#RIP #DickLeitsch.
He organized the first Sip In, One of the first civil disobedience acts of the (then called) Gay rights movements. He was the first gay journalist to report on #Stonewall. A leader of the Mattachine society.
My life is better because of him. Thank you.
