Alongsi s ternatnal reputatn for black empowerment and homophobic exceptnalism the late twentieth century, Jamai also be home to the anglophone Caribbean’s first gay activist anizatn, the Gay Freedom Movement (GFM), led by Che-Jamain General Secretary Larry Chang. Focg on Chang’s life and work, this say analyz the relatnship between Che-ns and lol and ternatnal eratns of Jamain gay activism.
Drawg on archival rearch and oral history terviews, I argue that Che-ns was key to Chang’s polics of crossg which he wrote as different characters GFM’s newsletter to reprent and rec across the l of race, class, genr, and natn support of a broad-based gay social movement.

This was ma possible by the Sttish Homosexual Rights Group (SHRG), our tw anizatn, who not only enuraged to attend, but also met all my foreign exchange needs. SHRG and GFM’s “pairg associatn” was not unmon as the late twentieth century wnsed the emergence of gay activists groups around the world and the buildg of relatnships between them (Bloom 1986; Dcker 1996).

That Chang’s efforts take on wrten form is signifint, not only bee the taboo nature of homosexualy at the time ma difficult to unrtake more embodied forms of social and polil engagement, but also bee the wrten word allowed for transgrsns of race, class, and genr ways that would be nsirably more difficult to enact person. Chang’s gay activism renfigur the relatns among race, diaspora, and neolonial pal that middlemen mori are expected to enact.
His textual crossgs of race, class, and genr draw together differently posned subjects support of sexual eedom by redistributg rourc om wealthy to poor and workg-class gays.
