The International March for Lesbian and Gay Freedom took place on September 30, 1984. Marchers walked from Sheridan Square (Christopher Street and 7th Avenue South) to Dag Hammarskjold Plaza across from the U.N.

The need for everlasting peace with justice is the abandonment of the Communist purpose of World domination.

LONDON, UK - OCTOBER 7: "What we have seen, I am afraid, in Gaza and now we are seeing in Lebanon, is innocent men, women and children paying the price for Israeli aggression, which is unacceptable," said Former Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf in an interview with Anadolu in the British capital city of London on Monday, Oct. 7. Emphasizing that the events happening in the Middle East, especially in Gaza and Lebanon, should be approached with humanitarian sensitivities rather than religious ones, Yousaf said: "Well look, for me it's not an issue about being a Muslim, this is an issue about being pro-humanity, because whether it's a Muslim, an atheist, a Jew, a Christian, it doesn't matter who's being killed, if an innocent person's being killed, then we have to stand up against it." On the UK's relations with Israel, he said: "I demanded the UK government stop selling arms, but yet the UK government still keeps selling arms to a country that is committing war crime after war crime, that is killing innocent men, women and children, and that is bombing schools, bombing hospitals, bombing UN facilities." Yousaf added that that's completely and utterly unacceptable. Israel has continued its brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip following an attack by the Palestinian group Hamas on Oct. 7 last year, despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire. Nearly 42,000 people have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 97,100 others injured, according to local health authorities. The Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the entire population of the territory amid an ongoing blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine. *Reporting by Behlül Çetinkaya *Writing by Fahri Aksüt (Footage by Behlül Çetinkaya /Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)

Lesbian and Gay Pride Marches were community affairs in the early days. There were no barriers between the viewers and the marchers. Often marchers would spot friends on the sidelines and stop to talk and watch the march for a while, rejoining the march when other friends or interesting groups passed by. Similarly, people who started out watching would spot friends and join the march. Thus there was a fluidity to the event and no clear distinction between observer and participant – everybody was part of the community. Also, as this was a community event, people marched as individuals or as members of community organizations or ad hoc groups (e.g., Fags Against Facial Hair). The only corporate floats represented bars, not huge international corporations. 01:44- NAMBLA (North American Man/Boy Love Association) (also 03:38) 01:55- American Gay Atheists 02:05- Rudy Grillo 03:17- Bagel And… (This restaurant occupied the space where the Stonewall Inn had been.) 03:32- Mobilization for Survival 03:43- David Thorstad (05:21) 04:12- The Guardian (the small radical leftist newspaper from the U.S, not the U.K. daily) “Capitalism is the Real Perversion” 05:25- Dominic Florio 05:34- Nelson Gonzalez 06:04- People lounging on the Pulitzer Fountain 06:50- GCN (Gay Community News, the weekly out of Boston) 08:09- Reproductive Rights National Network 08:20- CARASA (Committee for Abortion Rights and Against Sterilization Abuse) 08:43- ARC (AIDS Resource Center, later Bailey House) 09:00- Richard Dworkin, John Bernd (dancing in suspenders) 11:38- Gay Teachers 11:56- Radical Women

Made for the home market in the 1950s, this silent travelogue shows Moscow and Leningrad in the Soviet Union. Certainly designed as a piece of propaganda, the film shows some of the mosques and cathedrals in the atheist state, and long bread lines (2:20) as well as shortages of many other basic supplies including bread (7:46) and transportation problems (2:46). The implication of course is that the so-called communist state is not a very successful country. It also shows men and women working side by side in factories (5 minutes), an agricultural fair and showplace (7:00), and a fish market (7:40) where fish are sold "live due to lack of refrigeration." The Moscow subway is seen at the 9:10 mark, and even this is described as a "single subway" by the inter titles. <p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!
