Summary
John Chesterman's Gay Liberation Front demands, written in 1970. Source: https://gayliberationfrontuk.com/demands/
We upload this in the context of discussing Nettie Pollard, a pioneering British lesbian activist and civil rights campaigner, who attended and helped to organize the first UK 'Pride' march as part of her involvement with the Gay Liberation Front (GLF).
Nettie would often read out these demands at events and for interviews. For her, Chesterman's demands summed up what she believed in; her values and the future world she hoped would one day exist.
You can find videos of Nettie Pollard reading out these demands online.
A pamphlet called "Rainbow Planet" - written by the Gay Liberation Front for the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising - reproduces Chesterman's demands and then asks "How far do you think we've got? We judge that worldwide John would be both proud and despairing."
In the uploader's view, this is a lovely poster which describes the kind of society that the British GLF, and by extension Nettie, wanted to see.
