	There was an Essex University [[GLF]] in ~~1972~~.<ref>''Gay News'', Issue 1</ref>		There was a gaysoc at Essex University which called itself a [[GLF]] group in the 1970s.<ref>''Gay News'', Issue 1</ref> <ref> https://greggblachford.com/2022/01/18/a-new-home-in-colchester/ 'My diary tells me that during my first week on campus (Autumn 1977), I went to a GaySoc party. For my non-Brit readers, GaySocs were what every gay/lesbian university group was called at the time. They organized both social and political events, the ratio between the two depending on the tone and politics of the group’s leaders at the time. I realized that our group had a good mix of both. Essex GaySoc made a point of also calling itself The Gay Liberation Society' </ref>.
