Intersectionality in the Gay Liberation Movement
The mainstream Gay Liberation Movement was often criticized for its focus on white, cisgendered, middle-class men. Efforts were made by people of color, women, and gender non-conforming people to make the movement a more inclusive space for all members of the LGBTQ+ community. Into the 1970s, harassment to the gay community continued. An account of of the 1970 racist and sexist attack at "The Lost and Found," a Washington, DC, gay bar, is shown here. Importantly, the eighth demand insists that establishments welcome all gay people, no matter race, age, sex, or dress, and they distinctly demanded that discrimination against transvestites end. |
