This collection contains materials related to the legal career and political activism of Irwin E. Keller (b. 1960), an attorney, former executive director of the AIDS Legal Referral Panel of the Bay Area and member of the Kinsey Sicks. The bulk of the collection consists of pleadings, correspondence and drafts from, and press about, People v. Frankie Don Huie, Jr. This was a landmark 1989 case in which the National Gay Rights Advocates fought to discredit the “homosexual panic” defense.
