Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1971 Title A name given to the resource A Gay Manifesto Description An account of the resource Announces: ‚ÄúIn the past year there has been an awakening of gay liberation ideas and energies. How it began we don‚Äôt know; maybe we were inspired by black people and their freedom movement; we learned how to stop pretending from the hip revolution. Amerika in all its ugliness has surfaced with the war and our national leaders. And we are repulsed by the quality of our ghetto life.‚Äù Calls for: ‚Äú1. Free ourselves; come out everywhere; initiate self-defense and political activity; initiate counter community institutions. 2. Turn other gay people on; talk all the time; understand; forgive; accept. 3. Free the homosexual in everyone. We‚Äôll be getting a good bit of shit from threatened latents; be gentle, and keep talking and acting free. 4. We‚Äôve been playing an act for a long time, so we‚Äôre consummate actors. Now we can begin to be, and it‚Äôll be a good show!‚Äù Background information: Carl Wittman (1943 - 1986) ‚Äúwas born and raised in New Jersey. He attended Swarthmore College where he became involved in the civil rights movement. In 1963 he became one of the leaders of the radical left-wing Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). In 1967 he moved to San Francisco to work as a labor organizer. Shortly before the Stonewall Rebellion he wrote ‚ÄòRefugees from Amerika: A Gay Manifesto,‚Äô which was printed on 22nd December, 1970 in San Francisco and all around the U.S.A. in 1971. The article became a guide to gay activism and gay life, and was used in particular by the Gay Liberation Front.‚Äù ( Carl Wittman.
