Biography

Andrew Ross Exler filed a (successful) lawsuit in 1980, at age 19, against Disneyland for its ban on dancing by same-sex couples. Exler continued his role as an activist; his activities included publishing a newsletter, monitoring conservative religious groups, and filing lawsuits against businesses whose discriminatory practices (such as sex-specific promotions, i.e., "ladies night") he saw as violating established civil rights statutes.
