Preferred term

Gay Liberation Front  

Definition

  • The Gay Liberation Front (GLF) was a short-lived gay rights movement organization initially founded in New York City in July 1969 that spread to other cities with sizable gay and lesbian populations, especially on the West Coast, until its demise in the early 1970s. The GLF represented a new wave of gay activism following in the wake of the Stonewall Riots. [Source: Encyclopedia of Activism and Social Justice; Gay Liberation Front]
