Mattachine Society of Washington
Distinct homophile movement of the 1960s / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mattachine Society of Washington (MSW) was a gay rights organisation founded in August 1961 by Frank Kameny and Jack Nichols.[1] While the organisation was named after the original, California-based Mattachine Society established in 1950, it was distinguished from other Mattachine Societies by its militancy.[1]
