Gay Liberation — Freedom for you Freedom for us
Gay Liberation
Freedom for you Freedom for us
Gay Liberation has always existed here on campus in one form or another. It always will, even though it's easier for you to dismiss us as a bunch of queer freaks, or even worse to smile nicely and say "that's nice, deary" (it happens).
This week we hit campus. What we are asking is: have an open mind; come and hear our point of view, and give us yours.
Why? Because your friend/sister/brother might be a lesbian or homosexual and you don't even know it. The person you least suspect could harbour secret homosexual tendencies - even if they do all the 'normal' things 'straights' do. Or maybe there is a side to you which you didn't ever know you had. (We aren't trying to create a witch hunt; but we are everywhere).
Whatever you think about homosexuality, we want to hear about it - the good and the bad.
