AB This work explores LGBTQ+ activism in the United States between 1950 and 1990, and how it evolved from a movement seeking respectability and validation to a more inclusive and confrontational one. Beginning with the homophile movement, where organizations such as the Mattachine Society and the Daughters of Bilitis emerged when homosexuality was conceived as pathological, it moves on to the Stonewall Riots as a turning point in the history of activism, which led to groups such as the Gay Liberation Front, Gay Activist Alliance, Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries and Radicalesbians.  The study  closes with  the AIDS  epidemic, discussing activist organizations like Gay Men’s Health Crisis and ACT UP that emerged at the time. While emphasizing the role of activism in fostering resilience, this work explores the different periods of activism by putting in conversation various activists’ accounts from inside these movements along with academic sources.
