The Gay Liberation Network (GLN) is a multi-issue LGBT direct action organization based in Chicago, Illinois. The group was founded in September 1998, after Matthew Shepard was murdered and three gay bashings that took place in Boystown, Chicago. It was originally called the Chicago Anti-Bashing Network; the group changed its name in 2004 to the Gay Liberation Network. They describe themselves as "A Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans Direct Action Organization".[1][2][3]
In addition to their LGBT advocacy, the GLN regularly campaigns with non-gay groups about issues concerning immigrant's and women's rights and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.[4][5]
