This anthology by former members of the Gay Liberation Front (GLF) captures the history and spirit of the revolutionary time just after Stonewall, when thousands came out of the closet to claim their sexuality, and when queer resistance coalesced into a turbulent, joyous liberation movement--one whose lasting influence would ultimately inform and profoundly shape the LGBT community of today. Personal essays explore the philosophy and culture of the stridently anti-assimilationist GLF: the actions, demonstrations, and marches; views on marriage, religion, and gender; the drugs, orgies, and communes; and GLF's relationship to the hippies, the Black Panthers, the straight Left, the women's movement, civil rights, and the antiwar struggle. The collection includes contributions from Martha Shelley, Cei Bell, Paola Bacchetta, Susan Stryker, Tom Ammiano, Nikos Diaman, Mark Segal, Barbara Ruth, and Perry Brass.… (meer)

"When everyone hates you, it's natural to hate them right back. Smash the Church, Smash the State!: The Early Years of Gay Liberation is a look at the early days of gay liberation where much of society grew finally tired of hiding a major part of them and took a stand for their rights. A fight that rages on to this day, the stories of those who threw the first stone are inspiring and will motivate current civil rights fighters to stand their ground. Smash the Church, Smash the State! is an ideal addition to any history collection focusing on civil rights."

"Let's posit the Stonewall riots that rocked New York City in 1969 as the Big Bang of the gay movement. Ater that, all things seemed to be loose in the universe. It was a cultural, sexual and political revolution, or, as Thomas Foran commented at the time, 'a freakin' faggot revolution.' And it was about time. Edited by Tommi Avicolli Mecca, Smash the Church, Smash the State! (City Lights, $18.96) is a lively account by many of the people who were there at the revolution and others whose lives were changed forever by the push for gay liberation."

"To many Americans, the gay liberation movement began sometime in the 1960s as a seemingly sudden phenomenon of all manner of queer men and women doing silly things, militant things, and serious things to express their dissatisfaction with what they viewed as a repressive social order. According to Mecca, editor of this engaging anthology and a dedicated participant in gay liberation, the movement actually began decades earlier, possibly as early as 1949. This anthology is a collection of stories shared by many individuals from the perspective of their lives inside the movement."

"The anthology contains fifty profound and heartwarming stories which includes manifestos, important gay revolutionary documents, insightful articles, poetry, reminiscences and biting commentary on contemporary gay life and political consciousness. . . Read Smash the Church, Smash the State to understand your history. If possible, buy an extra copy and gift it to someone under thirty. It's one of those gay history books that is a 'must' for your bookshelf."

Introduction - We are not a revolutionary group of men and women formed with the realization that complete sexual liberation for all people can not come about unless existing social institutions are abolished. We reject society's attempt to impose sexual roles and definitions of our nature. - New York Gay Liberation Front, Statement of Purpose

Introduction - It seemed like a sudden transformation, but it wasn't: Queers had gone from a small movement of properly dressed "homophiles" (men in suits, women in dresses) marching around Independence Hall in Philadelphia every July 4 to a rowdy bunch of militant drag queens, long-haired hippie men in jeans and t-shirts, and lesbian/feminists women who refused to bake the bread and make the coffee, either in the gay liberation or the women's movement.
