Gay Activists Alliance
From LGBT Archive
Gay Activists Alliance was a political gay movement based in London in the late 1970s and early 1980s. GAA was formed following protests against the newsagent W H Smith which had refused to stock Gay News in 1978. There was no formal membership but local groups were formed and the London group recorded collective decisions in minutes [1]. GAA got involved in a number of left-wing political causes. It overlapped with much of the moribund Gay Liberation Front. GAA also went carol singing outside the home of Mary Whitehouse in Essex.
