Mattachine Society  

Definición

  • The Mattachine Society, set up by Harry Hay, Rudi Gernreich, Bob Hull, Dale Jannings, and Chuck Rowland in Los Angeles in 1950, became one of the most prominent organizations of the homophile movement, the term used by activists to highlight the fact that the problems of homosexual people cannot be narrowed to sexuality and that the movement is open for everyone. The name of the society was derived from mattachines, groups of masked troubadours in medieval Europe who acted out satirical commentaries to the current political reality.
