Knapp, David, 1926-

David Knapp was born in New York City on September 2, 1926. His early life included membership in the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), an active outdoor life, graduation from Wesleyan College, marriage, fatherhood, and a career in the BSA and as a salesman. He discovered he was gay in the late 1970s at the age of fifty. He later divorced and moved to Guilford, Connecticut. Knapp became an activist for gay and lesbian causes after family members disclosed his homosexuality to the BSA and to his church in Madison, Connecticut, which resulted in his being ousted from the two organizations.
