 During its first year, the Student Homophile League had about ten members who fought with university administrators until the group was officially recognized.Stephen Donaldson, a bisexual-identified LGBT rights activist, is commemorated by a plaque and a portrait in the queer student lounge that bears his name in one of Columbia's residence halls for spearheading the creation of the group.One of the key issues over which Donaldson clashed with the administration was the right to keep members' names confidential.
