Story

In November 1972 I was refused employment as an aide at the Massachusetts Mental Health Center, located on Fenwood Road near Brigham Circle, by a nursing supervisor who told me that my homosexuality made me "unsuitable to work with our younger patients." This file documents my unsuccessful attempt to obtain legal redress for this discrimination, then the testimony that I gave to the Commerce and Labor Committee of the Massachusetts Legislature detailing the incident in 1973 (anonymously) and publicly in 1974.]]> #QueerArchivesAtHome, http://www.historyproject.org/project/QAAH]]>
