The Gay Liberation Front founded in 1970 urged gay men and gay women to unite
around a simple set of demands among which were calls for an end to
discrimination against homosexuals in employment, in sex education, in the age
of consent and in being treated as sick by the medical establishment. GLF saw
itself as a people's movement for gays, socialist by virtue of its demand for
social change, and revolutionary in recognizing the rights of other oppressed
minorities to determine the fight for their own demands. All history is
personal. The author of this political memoir is the first participant of the
Front to write a history of the lesbians and gay men who joined Gay Liberation
and through a process of Coming Out and radicalization initiated an anarchic
campaign that permanently changed the face of this country.
