And although the press arrived to cover it, it became clear that Mayor Lindsay was still not going to make any public statements in support of LGBTQ rights.

But thanks to ZAPS and other active confrontations, public exposure to LGBTQ issues was at an all time high by the spring of nineteen seventy.

When a member of the New York City Marriage Bureau made public statements against homosexuality, his office was occupied by the GAA.
voice-verified
Activists took over the phones, telling all callers that the office was now only issuing same sex marriage license.
voice-verified
Some GAA activists applied the Zap tactic to other feminist causes.
voice-verified
Another occupation, this time at the Ladies Home Journal, involved a group of over one hundred women who took over the magazine's offices with the goal of liberating the so called women's magazine from its male editor in chief.
voice-verified
The protesters pointed out that the few women who did work for the journal were underpaid and that there were no black women working there at all.

Carla J, a twenty three year old lesbian activist, joined with members of the National Organization for Women, or NOW for the occupation, but her own feelings about combining lesbian activism with straight feminist activism were mixed.

Betty Friedan, now's leader and herself a feminist activist, had dismissively referred to lesbians as a lavender menace.
voice-verified
Friedan prevented lesbian groups like the daughters of Bilitus from joining now, worried that lesbians would give the broader public the wrong idea of what feminism was.
voice-verified
But Friedan was about to find out very clearly what a zap was.
voice-verified
It came as much of a surprise to Friedan as anyone when on the first evening of the organization's second annual conference, all the lights in the auditorium mysteriously went dark.
voice-verified
The assembled audience of three hundred people heard shouts and hoots and the sound of people running down the aisles.
voice-verified
When the lights came back on, the aisles were lined with women wearing t-shirts that read Lavender Menace, shouting, We're tired of being in the closet because of the women's movement.
voice-verified
Who wants to join us?
voice-verified
Many in the audience that night did.
voice-verified
The Lavender Menace would go on to become the first post-stonewall group to center lesbian issues.
