Gay Activists Alliance Protest of City Clerk Herman Katz at the New York City Municipal Building, 1971

Arthur Evans participates in the GAA zap against City Clerk Herman Katz. The GAA popularized the zap, a form of direct political action that included unexpected confrontations of public figures to bring attention to gay rights issues. During this zap, participants entered offices with coffee and cake to celebrate the engagement of two men, and protest Katz's threat of legal action against same-sex couples.
