The Gay Liberation Front (GLF) was a key organization in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights and visibility in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It emerged in the aftermath of the Stonewall Riots in New York City, which sparked a wave of activism for equal rights. The GLF aimed to challenge societal norms and advocate for the rights and dignity of gay individuals. They organized protests and demonstrations, held meetings and discussions, and published newsletters to raise awareness and mobilize support. The GLF played a significant role in advancing the LGBTQ+ rights movement, paving the way for future organizations and shaping the discourse around sexual orientation and gender identity.
