(your reason here) --Bob Watson (talk) 20:45, 1 January 2018 (UTC)Patrick Haggerty made the first openly gay music album in history, and while it wasn't important upon release, it has since became a popular album with gay people. Haggerty also ran for Seattle Office twice during the 1980s(unsuccessfully), was the first male cheerleader at Port Angeles Senior High School, was featured on CMT's 'albums that changed country music, his band was featured by the Country Music Hall of Fame, two short films have been made about him(both receiving critical acclaim and winning several awards), a ballet about his music was performed in 2017, he fought tirelessly for LGBT rights, woman's rights, black rights, and disabled rights, performed at the first Seattle gay Pride, and there is talk of a feature film in Hollywood being made about his life. He may not be a household name, but Patrick Haggerty is one of the first true radical homosexual activists. A DJ was also fired in 1974 for playing one of his songs on the radio, if that's not important enough then maybe I should add he was interviewed on The Jerry Springee Show in 2017 and was kicked out of the Peace Corps in 1966 for being gay.
