Summary

The organisation which published the Melbourne Gay Liberation Newsletter was founded in 1972 and was similar to the group which published the Sydney Gay Liberation Newsletter. Publication began in 1973 and concluded in 1976. The group was committed to a radical version of the then-emerging gay politics. It met initially at the University of Melbourne before moving off-campus in an effort to break out of the student milieu and into the wider society. Most of its members were committed to socialism, feminist politics and solidarity with all oppressed groups. After publication of the newsletter ceased, the club rooms were maintained until the organisation formally dissolved in 1978. Issues of the newsletter were deposited in the Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives in Melbourne.
