Some context. These Are the Radical Roots of British Gay Pride – The activists who started UK Pride are demanding a return to its revolutionary roots. 

The first meeting of the London Gay Liberation Front (GLF) took place at LSE in October 1970, inspired by the Stonewall Riots in New York in the previous year. Here’s what original and current GLF activist Andrew Lumsden says – “Stonewall Uprising and the foundation of the Gay Liberation Front in New York inspired and brought hope to LGBTQI+ of every country in the world. Gay Liberation will always be a socialist movement by virtue of its demand for social change.”

GLF stands for liberation: the choice is always there – liberation or slavery.
