Front cover of the April 1976 edition of Gladrag, magazine of the Birmingham Gay Liberation Front. It includes a drawing of a Nazi concentration camp, showing gay men in camp uniform behind barbed wire. Document reference: 727/4/7/2.
Page from the April 1976 edition of Gladrag, magazine of the Birmingham Gay Liberation Front (GLF). It sets out the aims of the GLF movement, including examples of oppression, and sections on 'coming out', sexism, changing society, the GLF, and meetings and activities. The opening paragraph states that "In a society which does not tolerate people who fail to fit into its ideas of what is 'normal', life is made particularly difficult for gay people - homosexual women and men, transvestites and trans-sexuals." Document reference: 727/4/7/2.
A chain of memory - 2026-1976-1945
50 years ago 'Gladrag', magazine of Birmingham Gay Liberation Front, looked at 'Gays and Fascism'. The last of the Nazi concentration camps had been liberated 31 years earlier.
The aims & context of Gay Lib - for the L, G & T - were set out inside.

“Overcoming difference is not the same as washing it away. Political solidarity is a recognition that we have a mutual interest in organizing together to create a political force that can change the conditions that we all suffer from, even if that suffering looks different based on social position.”
