Summary

The Melbourne Effeminist Movement was a tiny grouping of gay men which existed for a brief time in around 1973. They believed that women's liberation was a precondition for gay (male) liberation. They saw their role in gay liberation as transforming their own personal behaviour and beliefs, and practising solidarity with women's struggles.
