Louis Eakes was a leading member of the Young Liberals. He was arrested for importuning on Highbury Fields during a police entrapment exercise. He claimed that he was heterosexual, and had merely been asking someone for a light. The arrest provoked the Gay Liberation Front's first ever demonstration, which took place at Highbury Fields on 27 November 1970.[1]
Louis Eakes died of an AIDS-related illness in the early 1990s.[2]
