Reading now: 823
nytimes.comArnie Kantrowitz, a literature professor and author who was an early champion of gay rights and an indefatigable campaigner for fairer treatment of gay people by the media, died on Jan.
21 at a rehabilitation center in Manhattan. He was 81. The cause was complications of Covid-19, his life partner, Dr. Lawrence D.
Mass, said. The gay rights movement was ignited in mid-1969 by the uprising provoked by a police raid on the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village, which led to the founding several months later of the Gay Activists Alliance.
Mr. Kantrowitz became the organization’s vice president in 1970, which was also the year he came to grips with his own homosexuality.
