Gay Liberation refers to the social and political movement that emerged in the late 1960s, advocating for the rights and acceptance of LGBTQ+ individuals. It sought to challenge societal norms and fight against discrimination, particularly in the wake of events like the Stonewall Riots in 1969, which became a catalyst for the movement. The movement aimed to promote equal rights, including marriage, employment, and housing protections for LGBTQ+ people. Activists worked to raise awareness about issues such as homophobia and transphobia, striving to create a more inclusive society where individuals could express their sexual orientation and gender identity without fear of persecution.
