But Lindsay, who'd only just been newly re elected with support from gay voters, was suddenly nowhere to be found.

This form of active political disruption would become known as a zap.

The first zap happened april thirteenth, nineteen seventy, as Mayor Lindsay was giving a commemoration speech on the vast front steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

When he got close enough, Robinson interrupted the mayor's speech, asking when he would finally speak out on gay rights.
voice-verified
Robinson was, of course, rushed away by Lindsay's bodyguards, but inside the museum the zap would continue.
