Christine Jorgensen and Howard J. Knox leave New York City marriage license bureau on April 3, 1959, after the bureau rejected the application for license ìwithout prejudiceî. Miss Jorgensen, who said she had a sex-change operation in Copenhagen, Denmark, eight years ago, is still listed on her birth certificate as ìmaleî. She said her attorney would go to Washington where the state department has the certificate and try to straighten things out, she will later reapply for license she added. (AP Photo/Jacob Harris)
