So to unrstand what was at stake for lbians and gays to take to the streets, we need to st ourselv back to an earlier mdset. If you were queer, Melbourne before Gay Lib was an tolerant world. ‘If we found ourselv tapulted back to the 1950s would be kd of a nightmare, ’ says Dr Graham Willett, historian and thor of Livg Out Loud – a history of gay and lbian activism Atralia.

As Graham explaed when we terviewed him for our project, while a mp scene (the term ‘gay’ was not ed before the 1970s) had flourished Melbourne sce at least the 1920s, was hidn, d and discreet. ‘Mostly what [gay and lbian] people had to put up wh was the discrimatn, the sense that they were disgtg the ey of lots of people or somehow flawed’ says Graham.

Abandong her parents’ Salvatn Army relign which nmned her homosexualy, the 18-year-old began searchg for a group which would accept her. In 1972, she beme a foundg member of Melbourne Gay Liberatn. ‘When I grew up I never heard the word lbian, ’ says Barb Creed, 1972 Gay Liberatn Front member.

” I’d read this dreadful book by Angele Stoll on homosexualy who said that lbians were men trapped women’s bodi. For gay men the 1970s the stak were different: men uld be arrted for havg sex wh or proposng another man. Peter McEwan, a 1972 Melbourne Gay Liberatn Front member, rells beg arrted by police on the beach when he was seventeen, dragged through two urt s, sent to a psychiatrist, and taken to Parkville Psychiatric Clic.
