The GLF provided a voice for the newly-out and newly radicalized gay community, and a meeting place for a number of activists who would go on to form other groups, such as the [[Gay Activists Alliance]], Gay Youth New York, and [[Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries]] (STAR) in the US.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Bernadicou |first1=August |title=Come Out |url=https://www.lgbtqhp.org/come-out |website=The LGBTQ History Project |date=October 2, 2023 }}</ref> In the UK and Canada, activists also developed a platform for gay liberation and demonstrated for [[gay rights]].
