Gay Liberation Front Movement

The GRM tried to eradicate the Gay Liberation Front movement in the UK where radical gay and lesbian activists created several problems in employment discrimination, economic entrenchment, arrests, political conservatism, and lack of attention to sexism and racism (Feather, 2007). The movement organisations proliferated particularly in the USA and Europe by the birth of many organisations such as the Lesbian Task Force, the National Gay and Human Rights campaign during 1970’s and 1980’s. Furthermore, the USA gay activists gained support from the Democratic Party in 1980. In the following years, the GRM was taken into consideration in the passing of government laws and reform acts (Cory, 1951). Outside of the USA, the GRM’s activity was seen
mostly in 2000’s in countries like Mexico, Brazil, South African and African Asia where a place was given for gay rights in their policies.
Overall, other important issues for emergence of the development of GRM since the 1970s, include prevention and cure of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, funding of research, campaigning for non-discriminatory policies in employment, housing, and other aspects of civil society, ending bans on military service for gay individuals, expanding hate crimes legislation to include protection for gay, lesbian, and transgender individuals and securing marriage rights for gay and lesbian couples (Levy, 2015). It uncovered many silent gay societies and political organizations, often at odds with one another. Over the years the GRM spread around the world with the sole aim of securing gay rights (Bomboy, 2015 and Fordham University, 2015).
