The Gay rights Movement was a social and political movement which were predominant in the late 1960s through the mid-1980s that encouraged the LGBT community to engage in radical direct action, and to counter societal shame with gay pride.

One of such protests was the  Dewey's Sit-in which was further propelled by the Black Freedom struggle.

<h3>What was the Dewey's Sit-in?</h3>

The Dewey's sit-in was one of the many ways gay rights activist protested the resentment meted out to them by members of the larger community in the united states in 1965.

Activist used the lunch-counter sit-in strategy of the black civil rights movement, protesters held the nation's first successful LGBT sit-in in the spring of 1965 at Dewey's restaurant.

This restaurant was located at  the Rittenhouse Square section of Philadelphia, Dewey's was a popular hangout after the bars closed.

  • Center Link
  • Children of Lesbian and Gays Everywhere (COLAGE)
  • Equality Federation
  • Family Acceptance Project (FAP)
  • Family Equality Council
