A picture of the cover of the Brian Blackmore’s book, To Hear and Respond.

I highly recommend Brian Blackmore’s new book, “To Hear and Respond: The Quakers’ Groundbreaking Push for Gay Liberation, 1946-1973.”

His book outlines the process Liberal Friends in the US took to become advocates for Gay Liberation.
