ABSTRACT

Some of the activists in the gay and lesbian movement seem to come from nowhere to take a dominating role and then, after a period of intense activity, disappear. Somehow, they manage to keep much of their private lives from their activist colleagues, and it is only later that we find out they dropped out because they were ill or had died. Some made such a strong impression and were so important that they deserve a brief mention. Cleo Glenn (Bonner) was such a person.
