GAY LIBERATN

A short acunt of the Gay Liberatn Front the UK, wrten by Stuart Feather. * gay liberation front images *

On the 27th June, 1969 as part of s policy of raidg and closg Gay Bars, the New York Police arrived at the Stonewall Inn to rough up the ctomers and make a few arrts. On the 4th July Lbians and Gay Men om the Matache Society New York, rponse to the rts, staged a walk-out and moved to the Alternative Universy Greenwich Village where they found what beme the Gay Liberatn Front.

“Not only did liberatnists go to Philalphia to show solidary wh the black movement, but was there that Huey Newton as lear of the Panthers, first gave clear support of the Gay Cse, sayg that homosexuals were maybe the most opprsed people of Amerin society, and uld well be the most revolutnary. On 13th November, GLF ma the first ever, public monstratn the UK by lbians and gay men at Highbury Fields, Islgton, to prott the e of “pretty policemen” agent provotrs ed by the police to entrap gay men to attemptg acts of gross cency, a standard police practice and an easy way for them to crease the figur for crime tectn and prosecutn. An Anti-Psychiatry Group foced on analysg and attackg the Psychiatric Establishments wholale acceptance of Juo Christian prejudice, Biblil thory, and the e of electric shock/emetic dg programm on gays and lbians who did not f , or who were found guilty of breakg the law.

An Actn Group anisg public GLF danc held lol town halls, and later the Gay Days the parks, an Office Collective, and the Steerg Group, later the Co-ordatg Commtee to n the Wednday night General Meetgs.

But gay men don’t need to opprs women orr to fulfil their own psycho-sexual needs, and gay women don’t have to relate sexually to the male opprsor, so that at this moment time, the et and most equal relatnships are most likely to be between homosexuals. In all about a hundred gay men and lbians were active the var GLF Groups, while by mid-January, ’71 there were up to five hundred people a week attendg the General Meetg, which suggts that many thoands of gay men and lbians passed through the doors.

Consistent monstratns agast the psychiatric tablishment and raids on their nferenc where GLF took over the agenda eventually lead to the overthrow of the ia that homosexualy was a medil ndn.

In June me the first issue of ‘Gay News’ published by a group ntag many 'straight gays' om the GLF Actn Group, and immediately laid down a format for savg the natn om the screamg red queens and faggots of gay lib.

The Office Collective had been neglected and had turned to an Admistratn by supporters of ‘Gay News’ and those who liked to be near the exchang of rmatn and money. There was Gay Swchboard, Bethnal Rouge, The Brixton Faeri, Gay Men’s Prs om the Media Group, and the world-renowned theatre troupe ‘Bloolips’ om the Street Theatre Group. One of the great legaci of GLF was that when HIV/Aids was intified there already existed groups, and works of dividuals who had been part of, or been touched by, the forever ongog sexual revolutn begun by the Gay Liberatn Front.

By the example of GLF the new activists HIV/Aids were able to immediately challenge the attus towards gays of the medil orthodoxy and quickly took over the entire culture surroundg the panmic. Then ’69 she beme part of this anizatn lled the Gay Liberatn Front and began documentg gay, lbian, and transgenr activists New York Cy and around the was photography weaponized as a tool for LGBT activism? The rts happened at the end of June 1969, when the bar was raid one eveng as part of a state crackdown on drkg tablishments that did not have their liquor license — as well as the fact that the bar was servg gay and transgenr people, who were nsired crimal clientele at the the raid a lot of the clientele began to fight back, but what most overlook is that a lot of those who were fightg back were the people on the streets at the time: disenanchised queer youths who were livg on the streets of New York Cy and the Village, many of whom had been kicked out by their fai, had difficulty fdg jobs bee they were genr nonnformg, and this really beme the re of the people who fought back agast the police that night.
