The Gay Liberation Front

The Gay Liberation Front (GLF) was a pioneering organization formed in the late 1960s, primarily in the United States and the UK, advocating for the rights and acceptance of gay and lesbian people. Emerging after the Stonewall Riots of 1969, it aimed to challenge societal norms and fight against discrimination, promoting pride, equality, and visibility. The GLF emphasized activism, community-building, and political change, helping to spark broader LGBTQ+ movements worldwide. It played a crucial role in shifting public attitudes and advancing civil rights for sexual minorities.
