Description
(Original Caption) Washington, DC.: Homosexuals Picket. A couple of G. I.'s and their girlfriends pass by as a group of "homosexual American citizens" picket outside the White house on Armed Forces Day, May 21st. The demonstrators were protesting "the issuance of less-than-fully honorable discharges to homosexuals in the Armed Forces;" "total exclusion of homosexuals in the Armed Forces;" "offensively-worded military regulations on homosexuals;" and, "continuing refusal by the Departments of Defense, Army, Navy, and Air Force to meet with spokesmen for the homosexual community to engage constructive discussion of the policies and procedures at issue."
