Langhorne lived in Philadelphia and had worked for the city’s Criminal Justice Unit, an arm of the Managing Director’s Office, since 1987.

From PGN:
Langhorne was an early local LGBT activist who was key in the passage of the city’s 1982 LGBT-rights ordinance, helped establish the governor’s Council on Sexual Minorities and successfully pressed for an executive order banning LGBT discrimination in state government.
