Kay Lahusen and Barbara Gittings (b. 1932) are longtime activists and Delaware Valley residents. They have been a couple since 1961 when they met at a DOB picnic. Gittings co-founded the New York chapter of DOB in 1958, has played key roles in numerous gay organizations, and is a much in-demand public speaker.

Lahusen was one of the twelve founding members of the Gay Activists Alliance in 1969, and is the author of The Gay Crusaders (1972). Her photographs of homophile protests have been widely published and exhibited.

She (right) and her partner Barbara Gittings (left) are currently trying to organize forty years' worth of movement memorabilia - correspondence, artifacts, publications, photographs, and much more - for future distribution to various gay/lesbian archives.
