The Homosexual Liberation Front of Argentina

The Homosexual Liberation Front of Argentina

La Frente de Liberacion Homosexual, the Homosexual Liberation Front or FLH in Argentina was a gay rights organization that formed in August 1971 in Buenos Aires. They were a coalition of semi-autonomous groups, who were all far left, anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, and stood for LGBT rights, women’s rights and labor rights. They were met with repression, arrests and even disappeared during the Military Junta of Argentina.

In this episode, Cristina tells Carmen about the FLH.
