Nettie Pollard
Janet (Nettie) Marian Mackenzie Pollard (6th September 1949 - 25th December 2025), known in life as Nettie Pollard, was a pioneering lesbian activist and civil rights campaigner. She is known primarily for her early involvement with the UK branch of the Gay Liberation Front (GLF, founded in 1970), her work with NCCL, and her involvement with the group Feminists Against Censorship.
The organization published a newspaper called Come Together, which ran for 16 issues from 1970 to 1973 and listed the same address as Peace News, a pacifist magazine at one time edited by Roger Moody - a friend of Nettie's until his death.[1]
