What do you do when you’ve been slapped around by a policeman simply because the way you look and the way you’re dressed leads him to believe you’re a lesbian? Or when your friend-your gay brother-is left to die in a hospital because he’s a “flaming queen”? Shirley Willer got angry. The donor went by the codename “Pennsylvania.” Do you know who she was? Please help us find her! If you have any information, write to us: Episode Notes Her work was financed by a wealthy lesbian who chose to remain anonymous. Shirley Willer traveled the country in the 1960s, spreading the word about the homophile movement, and sharing information about both the Daughters of Bilitis and the Mattachine Society.
