Inspired by the Stonewall uprisings in the US, the GLF demanded 'Absolute Freedom For All' worldwide. For them, complete LGBTQ+ liberation meant housing rights, universal healthcare, economic freedom and so much more. Yet, half a century on, the fight is far from over, injustice is rife and LGBTQ+ inequality remains.

Dan Glass, author of United Queerdom: From the Legends of the Gay Liberation Front to the Queers of Tomorrow, will lead you through over five decades of LGBTQ+ culture and protest. You will discover the centrality of protest to queer history and identity, and learn about the back-breaking hard work, as well as the glamorous and raucous stories, of those who rebelled against injustice and fought for queer liberation.
