Stories from the first London Pride march in 1972:
in 1970; and organised the first ever UK Pride march on 1 July 1972. Though only existing for three years before splintering due to internal disputes, the UK GLF made a mark on history with its off-shoot organisations too: queer helpline Switchboard and the first ever national gay news media.
But according to Philip, just a week later over 100 people attended their group meeting. Then, within four weeks, there were over 200 members of the UK GLF. The movement comprised of subgroups, including a group for those aged 16-21, who mainly focused on the fact that the age of consent for gay men was older than for others. The subgroup actually held a march in August 1971 — a year before the first Pride.
There’s some disagreement over the numbers actually in attendance: they range from 200 to 2000, depending on who you speak to. Part of the reason for that is because there were many hangers on who wanted to be a part of the march, but worried about it being so public. “I’d come out the autumn before and fell in love with the first gay man I ever met, as one tends to do, and he suggested we go down to Pride,” Peter Scott-Presland, an attendee of that first march says.
One thing noted by many of those in attendance is that there was an excessive police presence throughout the day. “That was the largest number of police I'd seen on a protest. It’s very rare that the police outnumber you two to one,” Philip says.
