1978 - North Shore Gay Alliance
The North Shore Gay Alliance (NSGA) is founded by David Newton (Beverly), a group of Salem State College students working out of the SSC Human Sexuality Center, and a few community members. NSGLA in twenty years 1978-1998 achieved a membership of about 500 members from all over the North Shore and about 50 Lynn LGBTQ+ folks. The group changed its name to North Shore Gay and Lesbian Alliance (NSGLA) in 1980.
