Gay Liberation Front
The Gay Liberation Front (GLF) was a social and political movement that emerged in the late 1960s, primarily in the United States. It aimed to advocate for the rights and acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community, challenging societal norms and fighting against discrimination. The GLF was inspired by the civil rights movement and sought to empower individuals to express their sexual orientation openly.
The movement gained momentum after the Stonewall Riots in 1969, which were pivotal in raising awareness about LGBTQ+ issues. The GLF organized protests, educational events, and community gatherings, fostering solidarity among LGBTQ+ individuals. Its legacy continues to influence modern LGBTQ+ rights movements.
