The Gay Liberation Movement is a term which is often used to describe the gay rights movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. It can also be used to describe the current movement in support of gay rights. During this movement, people were encouraged to reveal their sexuality to their families, friends and coworkers, and to combat discrimination encountered with 'gay pride'.

The gay liberation movement of the early 1970's brought the existence of gay people into public view. Prior to that, gay people were virtually invisible in society. This visibility resulted in the removal of homosexuality as a mental disease, as well the move toward equal rights.
Most recently, the "gay liberation" movement in the United States began with the Stonewall Bar riots in late June of 1969 in New York City. However, the first gay liberation movement occurred in Germany in the late 19th century.

Gay Liberation Front was created in 1969.
The language of the civil rights movement has been used to fight the opposition of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights. The civil rights movement did not directly affect the gay rights movement, but it did influence some on how they could make their secret open and accepted by others. This eventually became known as Gay Liberation. It may sound similar to Women Liberation, the movement where women wanted rights to vote, get abortions, and have the same pay as men. Another term, Gay Power, originally came from the term Black Power which was part of the civil rights movement.
