Gay Academic Union

The Gay Academic Union (GAU) was a group of LGBT academics who aimed at making the academia more amenable to the LGBT community in the United States.[1][2] It was formed in April 1973, just four years after the Stonewall riots,[3] held 4 yearly conferences (the last in November, 1976) and conducted other scholarly activities. It disbanded some time after that.[4]
