Hujar’s boyiend at the time, Jim Fouratt, arrived on the scene to anise for the Gay Liberatn Front (GLF), the first polil group to ce homosexualy s name. The poster, bearg the slogan COME OUT!!, appeared late sprg 1970 advance of the gay liberatn march that marked the first anniversary of Stonewall. Hujar’s lible portras of famo avant-gar artists and drag queens, and his curly gothic landsp and animal pictur, are so fastidly exquise, so fsily exact, so reprentative of a perd past (“Speed of Life” is a very odd tle) that they immediately summon the ratty htr, the necsary obssns, and the ld-eyed digny that helped most gay men survive, and not survive, the early gay lib and AIDS years.
ABOUT PETER HUJAR'S COME OUT!! POSTER FOR THE GAY LIBERATN FRONT
By the time the prottors marched agast anti-gay csar Ana Bryant Kansas Cy 1977, the gay rights movement had bee creasgly youthful and ant.
Though the 1969 NACHO meetg Kansas Cy was the largt gatherg of gay and lbian activists to date, the nference took place jt weeks after Stonewall. Their publitns created the sense of natnal muny that beme realized after Stonewall, and many homophile activists ntributed to the formatn of gay liberatn anizatns. Even Kansas Cy’s Phoenix Society helped drive the rise of gay rights, distributg those publitns that fostered new forms of activism.
The LGBT muny, pecially those of om Gay Liberatn Front New York, realized how the history we created om 1969 to 1971 was beg distorted by those who had rerd .
THE GAY LIBERATN MOVEMENT
The most famo of them were the march every July 4th at Inpennce Hall Philalphia om 1965 to 1969, which some historians mistakenly nnect to Stonewall and the first Gay Pri March 1970.
HISTORY HAS OVERLOOKED THE GAY LIBERATN FRONT’S ROLE STONEWALL … UNTIL NOW
Stonewall and the year that followed up to the First Gay Pri, then lled Christopher Street Gay Liberatn Day, changed everythg and everyone the LGBT muny. Those of om Stonewall and Gay Liberatn Front were rebellg not only agast mastream society but agast those people who marched Philalphia bee we felt they had all lost touch wh our muny.
While the old learship wanted to portray the muny as women drs and men sus and ti, those at Stonewall and the founrs of Gay Liberatn Front drsed jeans and t-shirts and drag or what soon would be nsired “genrf*ck. While the old learship disdaed any public associatn wh trans people, the Gay Liberatn Front weled them as did youth and people of lor. While those at the Philalphia march wanted to f wh middle class Ameri, those the Gay Liberatn Front wanted to work alongsi other margalized groups fightg for social jtice.
To be very clear, historians have attempted to group those Philalphia march wh Stonewall and the first Gay Pri, and that’s an absolute misreprentatn of history. That first Gay Pri, created by Craig Rodwell and Ellen Broidy, was about what we of the Gay Liberatn Front had created om the ash of Stonewall. The first Gay Youth anizatn, GYNY; the first trans anizatn, STAR (Street Transvte Actn Revolutnari); the first LGBT Communy Center on Wt 3rd Street; the first monstratns agast media and police; and a ntual public prence as we took back our streets.
GAY LIBERATN FRONT POSTERS
The people who wrote on the streets and walls that first night, the people who created the send, third and fourth nights, were the founrs of Gay Liberatn Front. There were people at Stonewall who passed by, people who crang their necks om around the rner watchg, people who tossed a stone and ran sce the police chased people up and down the street, but the spir of ristance that gave birth to the new movement was all the Gay Liberatn ont. They created a staable anizatn where there had been none before, the worlds first trans anizatn, Street Transvte Actn Revolutnari, which was a mtee of the Gay Liberatn Front, formed durg the GLF occupatn of NYU’s Weste Hall.
It was Gay Liberatn Front’s LGBT Communy Center that beme STAR’S first home for homels trans people, and Marsha and Sylvia did whout public funds, trag or programs. We marched wh the Young Lords, who fought agast opprsn of the Lato muny, and the women of Gay Liberatn Front were also major voic the women’s movement.
