Gay Liberation Front

Gay Liberation Front

by Caroline Paquita-Kern Author and Justseeds Author

The GLF was the first LGBT activist organization formed after the 1969 Stonewall uprising in NYC. No queer organization had included the word "Gay" in their name before. Their goal was to establish "a society in which all people enjoy freedom of existence and freedom to relate to each other in whatever manner theiy see fit, without fear of oppression or condemnation." They operated in many US cities, birthing many other radical queer groups, some of which still exist today.
