1971-01-23Gay Liberationists demonstrate in New Orleans

Members of the Gay Liberation Front march on City Hall in New Orleans to protest police entrapment and harassment, the first such public demonstration in the state of Louisiana. The GLF followed up on this action the next month when it held a “gay-in” picnic in City Park, to test the right of gays and lesbians to assemble and socialize in public.
