Artist and campaigner Stuart Feather reads excerpts from his book on the history of the Gay Liberation Front. Co-founder of Bloolips with Bette Bourne, Stuart will draw out extracts around the theatre performed as part of gay and women’s liberation activism.

The Gay Liberation Front founded in 1970 urged gay men and gay women to unite around a simple set of demands among which were calls for an end to discrimination against homosexuals in employment, in sex education, in the age of consent and in being treated as sick by the medical establishment. GLF saw itself as a people s movement for gays, socialist by virtue of its demand for social change, and revolutionary in recognizing the rights of other oppressed minorities to determine the fight for their own demands.
