Personal life

Larry Worrell died in Washington, D.C., on December 17, 1989. James Duell died 3 years later, on July 15, 1992.^[3] Like many other gay couples and gay activists, they chose to be buried in what is now called the "gay corner" of the Congressional Cemetery; some said the place was picked since the cemetery is the burial place of Peter Doyle, Walt Whitman's companion; some other said the place was picked by Leonard Matlovich for his burial since it was near the tombstones of J. Edgar Hoover and his friend Clyde Tolson.^[4]
