The first ever Gay Liberation Front (GLF) meeting in the UK was convened on this day, October 13, in 1970.
Inspired by the GLF movement in the United States, the UK GLF drew up demands and focused on group activities to root those demands — street theatre, “gay days,” festivals, and sit-ins. At first, it was very informal, but soon the GLF realised the power of collective voice. Its activities led to London’s first Gay Pride March in 1972 kicking off the Pride movement and push for LGBTQ+ rights that we know today.

    Over half a century later, we’ve come a long way with legislation but there’s still a long way to go with attitudes.
