He opposed the Vietnam war, and was active in promoting women's rights and an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). In 1987, he was among hundreds of men and women arrested on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court to protest its decision to uphold states' rights to legislate private sexual behavior among consenting adults in their own home (a decision the Court ultimately reversed in 2003). He is a member of the Children's Rights Network of Amnesty International/USA and a member of the National Organization on Male Sexual Victimization.
