Manifesto[edit]

Was this group armed? Were/are there armed gay groups in the tradition of the Black Panther Party? etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.255.214.234 (talk) 06:20, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, though in the manifesto the intent was to defend themselves: "If this involves violence, it will not be we who initiate this, but those who attempt to stand in our way to freedom." -- Ashley VH 15:17, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Section on New Left Historians[edit]

This seems like an important topic, but the paragraphs currently under this section are incoherent at best.Dpmath (talk) 22:52, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looking back at the page as it was at the beginning of the year shows that multiple edits by different people have reduced the cohesiveness of the article and important facts have been dropped. Perhaps the structure and/or pasting back in key paragraphs from the page's previous versions would help? -- Ashley VH (talk) 23:12, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I see that the original (unsigned) version from January 21, 2007 does make more sense, though it does feel a little "dropped into" the page---like it was spliced from elsewhere. It seems to address an argument that doesn't appear elsewhere on this page. I would agree that it might be good to restore this first version, but it could use further editing to make it appropriate to the article as a whole. I can come back and give it a try in a few weeks, if nobody with some sound background in this area doesn't want to step up to the plate in the meantime. Cheers.

I've taken it out. As currently written, it's incoherent and does not even address the topic - it's about unspecified historians of the "New Left". It could be re-incorporated if there is a complete section on e.g. "Historical treatment of the movement". But without context and balance it just irritates. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 14:20, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For reference - this is the content and ref removed. Banjeboi 10:36, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"However, many New Left historians of the period have downplayed its importance or have excluded it entirely."^[1]

Need to separate into two articles one for GLF-New York City and one for GLF-Britain[edit]

As it stands this article is very confusing with the overlapping references. Both groups are significant enough to have their own separate articles. Anyone interested in teasing this apart? Pjefts (talk) 16:38, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
