Frequently Asked Questions
Answering the questions we get asked every day

LGBT? LGBTQIA?
When the original Gay Liberation Front was formed over 50 years ago, it was actually many smaller grassroots groups that formed to combat homophobia and achieve equal rights for gay men and lesbians.
A new wave of homophobia has emerged, necessitating the return of gay liberation groups to advocate for the specific needs of gay men and lesbians. What about bi people? trans people?
Despite occasional overlap with other groups, homosexuals have unique needs that we should be able to unite to advocate for, without doing so being considered bigotry.
Organizations everywhere focus on the needs of the many. As exclusively same-sex attracted people, we reserve the right to form groups that fight for our specific needs and rights. Many primarily same-sex attracted bisexuals will find value in our resources, as will detransitioners. WHAT DOES YOUR ORGANIZATION DO?
The New Gay Liberation Front has come together to advocate against the unique issues facing homosexuals today.
We also have shared goals with women's movements that work to uphold biological sex and single-sex spaces, as sexual orientation is rooted in biological sex, and gay men and lesbians depend on single-sex spaces. what do gay people need so badly?
Same-sex marriage may be legal now but homosexuals still face many issues:
The time to unite for homosexual rights has come again. We stand together against homophobia, trans-homophobia, redefining biological sex and homosexuality, destroying single-sex spaces and overriding the autonomy of others. HEY! AREN'T YOU TRANSPHOBIC?
Absolutely not. We support human rights and dignity for all humans.
As an organization, we oppose "gender identity ideology," which has many harmful effects. Some of the most concerning of which is the dismantling of single-sex spaces, the medicalization of gay youth and homosexuality being framed as transphobic. ARE YOU RIGHTWING EXTREMISTS?
No. We have found that the issues facing homosexual people cross political lines. We are dedicated to helping lesbians and gay men with a nonpartisan approach. We do not impose groupthink on our members.
We stand opposed to any organization or group that works to weaken the rights of homosexuals. WHAT IS TRANSgenderist HOMOPHOBIA?
Transgenderist homophobia is a new type of homophobia that is perpetuated by gender identity ideology. Gender identity ideology states that homosexuals must date/sleep with the opposite sex or else they are seen as 'transphobic' and bigoted.
We maintain that it is homophobic to demand access to homosexuals' sexual orientation in order to validate others 'transgender' identities. Further, we maintain that homosexuals sexual orientation is rooted in biological sex, and that someone else's gender identity does not override their biological sex. You can see examples of the harmful homophobia in the The New Trans Homophobia section in our resources section of the website. WHAT IS GENDER IDENTITY IDEOLOGY?
Gender identity ideology is the most extreme parts of radical gender identity activism - the parts that seek to prioritize gender identity over biological sex.
This ideology promotes medicalization in gay youth by selling them a lie that they can switch sex, and that doing so will resolve their gender dysphoria. For homosexuals and women alike, it is costing us our single-sex safe spaces. HOW CAN I SUPPORT?
