User talk:Glasstoad/Lavender Panthers

I plan on adding a lot to this article. First I would like to address the history leading up to this group and its creation; the Homophile movement and gay liberation. I would also like to address the police sweeps, brutality, and street violence that was occurring in San Francisco at the time of this groups creation. Second I would like to address the purpose of the group; violently address street violence.
