In the summer of 1970, shortly after the Gay Liberation Front (GLF) organized at Grace Episcopal, GLF took over a house used by the antiwar Berrigan brothers. For several years in the early 1970s the collective, known as GLF House, hosted gay liberation raps, religious groups, gay youth groups and outreach to the homeless and gay prisoners. From this site, GLF coordinated its support of the Black Panthers Peoples Revolutionary Constitutional Convention, the 1971 Gay Mayday demonstrations, zaps at Catholic University and the American Psychiatric Association, and DC's first Gay Pride in May 1972.
