Gay rights attorney Albert Gordon has died

Attorney Albert Gordon, a leading gay rights activist, has died. He was 94 years old.

Gordon is considered a pioneer in the gay rights movement having used publicity to highlight hypocritical law enforcement and anti-gay persecution.

Albert dove into helping the LGBT community when his own son, Gerald, was arrested by a vice cop. It was then that Gordon dedicated his life to improving how gay men were targeted and treated under the law.

His death was due to old age, according to his son Harold Gordon.
