Gay Activists Alliance

The Gay Activists Alliance (GAA) was a civil rights organization founded in 1969 in New York City to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and equality. It emerged in response to the Stonewall Riots, aiming to confront discrimination, promote legal changes, and raise awareness about gay rights. The GAA focused on direct action, political advocacy, and community organizing to challenge societal prejudices and improve the lives of gay individuals. Throughout the 1970s, it played a significant role in advancing LGBTQ+ visibility and fighting for legislative protections.
