Front homosexuel d'action révolutionnaire

The '''Front homosexuel d'action révolutionnaire () (FHAR''') was a loose Parisian movement founded in 1971, resulting from an alliance between lesbian feminists and gay male activists. The movement had no official leaders, but Guy Hocquenghem and Françoise d'Eaubonne were among its most prominent representatives, while other members included Christine Delphy, Daniel Guérin, and . It had disappeared by 1976. Surviving early activists also include painter and surrealist photographer Yves Hernot, now living in Sydney, Australia.

The FHAR was known for giving radical visibility to homosexuals during the 1970s in the wake of student and proletarian uprisings of 1968, which had given little consideration to the liberation of women and homosexuals. Breaking with older homosexual groups, which kept a lower profile and were sometimes conservative, they asserted the subversion of the bourgeois and hetero–patriarchal state, as well as the inversion of chauvinistic and homophobic values common on the left and far left.

The outrageous behavior (from the authorities' point of view) at the male sexual encounters held by the group and the increasing prevalence of men (which inevitably distracted from feminist and lesbian issues), eventually brought about the group's disintegration. In its wake appeared the (GLH) and the Gouines rouges within the Mouvement de libération des femmes (MLF). Provided by Wikipedia
