George is out here trying to get laid with a poster at the pride parade at ninety years old

This is George Montague, he’s an author who is currently campaigning to have a historic conviction for “gross indecency” from 1974 (PDA with his then-boyfriend) struct from his criminal record. You can sign his petition here!

The epitome of “Distinguished Gay”

Update as of 7 November 2018, this guy is now 95 years old and is still looking for his apology.

I just looked it up and turns out that George won! His 1974 conviction was repealed in 2004 but he fought for 13 more years to receive an official apology from the government, which he got in 2017! George just turned 96 a few days ago and is still thriving, attending pride with his husband Somchai Phukkhlai (who he has been with for 23 years now) and is still fighting for change. He is a true hero.
