What do you recall of that and how did they differ from the Homosexual and Oral Form Society?

Well, I think there was kind of a general change happening.

I certainly remember it from my time because of all the various liberation movements that were interacting at that time.

And gay liberation was definitely a product of this and closely related to the women's liberation movement as well.

So that first group in Auckland in 72 was followed soon after by groups throughout the country.

And they had really strong ideas about lesbian and gay pride.

One slogan was gay is good.

And so, Linda, do you just want to talk about how our communities responded?
