Oliver Sipple and the Presidential Assassination Attempt

High fit

Privacy shows how Oliver Sipple carefully controlled what parts of himself he revealed to different people in his life. He was openly gay as Billy in San Francisco but completely closeted to his family in Michigan. When the assassination attempt thrust him into the spotlight, that privacy setting got completely overridden by Harvey Milk and the press, destroying the careful boundaries he'd maintained between his two worlds.
