He also campaigned for the removal of homosexuality from the American Psychiatric Association's diagnostic manual of mental disorders, the reversal of the U.S. Civil Service Commission's exclusion of homosexuals from federal employment, the revocation of the District of Columbia's sodomy laws, and the retraction of policies denying national security clearances to homosexuals.
