Summary
The Stolen Humanity of Michael Hardwick
When a police officer appeared at his bedroom door on August 3, 1982, Michael Hardwick unknowingly became a symbol of the gay rights movement.

Hardwick sparked a massive protest and continues to impact privacy rights related to abortion, contraception, and same-sex relationships.
