Gay Liberation Radicalizes the Homophile Movement
After Stonewall, activists were no longer satisfied with the assimilationist tactics of the homophile movement. LGBTQ+ activism became louder, prouder, and less apologetic than ever before. In August 1969, one month after Stonewall, the North American Conference of Homophile Organizations Committee on Youth produced a radical manifesto titled, The Homophile Movement Must be Radicalized! The manifesto laid out an action plan for the future of LGBTQ+ activism and insisted that activists employ broader thinking and more radical tactics. |
