Kay Lahusen, a pioneering LGBTQ rights activist who chronicled the movement s earliest days through her photography and writing, has died. She was 91.
Known as the first openly gay U.S. photojournalist, Lahusen died Wednesday at Chester County Hospital outside Philadelphia, following a brief illness.
Together with her partner, the late activist Barbara Gittings, Lahusen advocated for gay civil rights years before the 1969 Stonewall uprising in New York helped launch the modern LGBTQ era. She captured widely published images of some of the nation s first protests.
Lahusen was the first photojournalist in our community, said Mark Segal, a friend of more than 50 years and founder and publisher of the Philadelphia Gay News. Practically every photo we have of that time is from Kay.
“The delays in processing the death records were due to a variety of reasons during the COVID-19 pandemic to include the processing of deaths of New Mexico residents occurring out-of-state as well as incomplete or inaccurate information at the time of death,” cited DOH’s press release.
DOH reported a woman in her 70s died from COVID-19 in the past 30 days. She was hospitalized and had underlying medical conditions. She was a resident of Lakeview Christian Home in Carlsbad.
In a Wednesday press release, DOH indicated at one least one positive COVID-19 case in residents or staff in the past 28 days at Lakeview Christian Home.

A group of Republican senators introduced legislation that would require meetings between the governor and all members of the Guam Legislature to be open to the public.
Recently, Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero met with senators to discuss how the American Rescue Plan funds would be used. The meeting was closed to the public, and was followed by a press conference.
Sens. James Moylan, Chris Duenas and Tony Ada introduced legislation on Monday that would mandate that closed-door meetings could not take place between the governor and all senators.
