Gay Liberation Front

The Gay Liberation Front (GLF) was a key activist organization that emerged in the late 1960s, primarily in the United States, following the Stonewall Riots of 1969. It aimed to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and raise awareness about issues such as discrimination, violence, and social stigma faced by the LGBTQ+ community. The GLF promoted pride in sexual orientation, encouraged solidarity among marginalized groups, and sought to challenge societal norms surrounding gender and sexuality. Its efforts laid the groundwork for the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, influencing laws and public perceptions regarding LGBTQ+ individuals.
