Gay Pride 1979

Overview

The homosexual, or gay, movement has become increasingly prominent in Britain and around the world. In June 1979 Gay Pride Week celebrated a decade of the movement, culminating in a rock concert in London's Hyde Park. "World in Action" talked to members of the movement, and to one of the world's best-known gay musicians, Tom Robinson, one of whose hit songs, "Glad to be Gay", became an unofficial anthem of the movement.
