and charles francis, who is here today, has gone out to speak to him and to thank him for his work on this case. so, when we think about this as ancient history, it's actually not. the principle is alive and well. we may be in, as soon as this june be able to get a supreme court decision saying that same-sex marriage is a federal constitutional right. if that happens, it will be the most important gay rights case in history, but until it happens or unless it happens, there is no doubt in my mind that one versus olesen, from the point of view of gay americans, is the most important civil rights case that we've ever had. i would argue, it's the most important civil rights case you've never heard of, period, because no one knows about it. yet what happened in 1958 essentially put gay people on the path to freedom. all we had in 1954 when the mattachine society of los angeles when they started publishing "one" magazine, all we had were our voices, no money, no votes, our people were deep in their closets. the powers of raid against us were mind-boggling huge, powerful and intense. you've
