NATIONAL GAY TASK FORCE PREPARING "WE ARE YOUR CHILDREN" CAMPAIGN
(from Prime Time, July, 1977, p. 2.)
The National Gay Task Force (NGTF) is now preparing a $1,000,000 campaign whose theme will be “We are your children". This national educational campaign in response to Anita Bryant's homophobic Save Our Children crusade will seek to answer—carefully, patiently and thoroughly—the concerns of those who still see homosexuality as a threat to children and to the traditional structure of the family.
NGTF's campaign will include dialogues with every major segment of the American population, newspaper ads, letter-writing campaigns, a national petition containing a “Declaration In Support of Human Rights for Twenty Million Americans" to be forwarded to the President and Congress, a national gay-voter registration drive, and a conference this month of all major women's, civil rights and minority groups to form a coalition in support of human rights.
In order to finance this campaign, which is by far the most ambitious, comprehensive and carefully-planned gay rights drive in history, NGTF is seeking new members. You can join NGTF, and support its “We are your children" campaign, by sending your contribution to: Nationality Task Force, Room 506 , 80 Fifth Ave., New York, N. Y. 10011.
