Dramatization of November, 9th 1972, GLF Picket

Later, Winston would tell me that the original thirteen, joined by Seth Heller, Bobby Henderson and John Hooper, left the building to picket in a circle outside the Champaign Police Station shouting, "Free Reggie and Dave," "Pass the gay rights bill now," and "Remember the Wigwam." Not long afterwards, a television van, a newspaper reporter and photographer showed up to conduct interviews; Steve spoke on television and was excellent as always. That was a refreshing change. Over the previous few months, local news coverage of the fight for gay civil rights had all but disappeared.
