"But gay activists quickly noted that gay history was sparse the book's acunt of the 60's. Events like the Stonewall rts and the work of gay civil rights groups like The Council on Relign and the Homosexual and The Mattache Society are absent om the book, which loosely f the Sixti as omissns prompted gay activist Frank Kameny (who, as a -founr of the Mattache Society, was a part of many of the events that Brokaw skips) to wre an open letter to Brokaw about the portn of the era that Brokaw miss.

We gays were very much a part of all that.

In your book, no boom; only your the start of the Sixti gays were pletely visible.

FRANK KAMENY TAK ON BROKAW’S GAY HISTORY

Where are the gay spokpeople?

But your book, only has yet to officially rpond to Kameny, but Radar magaze not that the former NBC News anchor discsed his excln of gays on CNN's Reliable Sourc, where Brokaw claimed that gay equaly didn't bee a movement until the 's certaly an odd exce, sce the Sixti clu several ton gay history that ntue to affect to this day.

However, if Brokaw's history of the Sixti clus events om as far as 1974, his claim that LGBT advanc me after the perd he chronicled seems even more all, 1974 a major event turng pot for gays happened when the Amerin Psychiatric Associatn officially changed s view of homosexualy as a mental disorr (a victory that happened, Kameny not his letter, bee of efforts started the Sixti). And Stonewall, wily held to have kickstarted the gay rights movement this untry, happened 1969 (clearly the sixti, no matter how loosely you choose to fe them) the end, sounds like Brokaw's book fails to fully tell the story promis. a mentn of the gay rights movement.
