Before sexual acts between men beme legal England and Wal wh the 1967 Sexual Offenc Act, backed by the Church of England and the Hoe of Lords, livg as a gay man had, for centuri, meant facg many human rights challeng and social huiatns. Homosexualy was nsired a psychologil illns need of treatment by the majory of the public, and often gog further than that, many gay men over centuri were imprisoned for ‘buggery’. In 1970, the Gay Liberatn Front was found, and as numbers grew, a uple of years later, the first London Pri march was held on 1st July 1972, three years after the Stonewall rts.

There had been a recent sense of reluctant tolerance of homosexualy England the late 1960s, but wh the first Pri march, LGBT people me together a sense of muny orr to create visibily, to exprs anger at the discrimatn they faced, but also to celebrate beg LGBT.
