Christopher Street Liberation Day, the predecessor to the Gay Pride March, occurred in New York City on Sunday, June 28, 1970 to mark the 1 year anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. This leaflet was handed out to people as they lined up to march from the Village up to Central Park.

GLF members joined with other gay activist groups in a large, organized march from 42nd Street down to the West Village, called to protest an ongoing, anti-gay police crackdown in Times Square. Read what happened at this demonstration in the Timeline and in Gay Flames, Issue #1.

GLF joined members of NYU’s gay and lesbian student group, Gay Student Liberation, and other LGBTQ activists to occupy the basement of the Weinstein Hall dorm at NYU for five days to protest NYU’s ban on proposed gay student dances. Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera and others founded STAR, Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries, during this protest.

Red Butterfly was a cell within GLF that focused on a Marxist analysis of LGBTQ oppression and linked it to other movements for social change. Here they respond to NYU’s decision to cancel gay dances planned for Weinstein Hall.
