Page "Gay liberation" Paragraph 22

Although a short-lived group, the Comite Pederastique de la Sorbonne, had meetings during the student uprising of May 1968, the real public debut of the modern gay liberation movement in France occurred on 10 March 1971, when a group of lesbians from the Front Homosexuel d ' Action Révolutionnaire ( FHAR ) disrupted a live radio broadcast entitled “ Homosexuality, This Painful Problem ”.

The expert guests, including a Catholic priest, were suddenly interrupted by a group of lesbians from the audience, yelling, " It's not true, we're not suffering!

Down with the heterocops!

" The protesters stormed the stage, one young woman taking hold of the priest ’ s head and pounding it repeatedly against the table.

The control room quickly cut off the microphones and switched to recorded music.
