Karla Jay was an early member of the pioneering gay liberation group, the Gay Liberation Front. One of the few women members, her determination allowed the Gay Liberation Front to create an impact for a separate marginalized group, le****ns.

With her partner Del Martin, Phyllis Lyon founded The Daughters of Bilitis in 1955, the first le***an civil and political rights organization with a national presence in the United States.

“When I love someone, I feel a great tenderness for them. I may not love them passionately, but I love them dearly. I don’t know how everyone else is, but I just know when I’m in love with someone”

“The fact that I love another woman doesn’t make me a criminal. You have two people together that like each other and decide to have s*x, that’s not a big deal for anyone.”

In 1970, Robert Clement, who at the time was the head of the Eucharistic Catholic Church, founded the Church of the Beloved Disciple. The Church of the Beloved Disciple was the first “gay church” in New York City. It was not the first church to welcome LGBTQ people, but it was the first church labeled as such with openly gay pastors and an almost exclusively gay congregation. With his Church of the Beloved Disciple, Robert Clement’s most important contribution was his performance of gay marriages.

“In 1970, with our clergy and our congregation, I came up with “Holy Union” marriages. The people who had these ceremonies considered themselves, at least before God, married. The New York Post referred to them as gay and mock marriages. It was a turning point in the concept of marriage.”
