He moved to UK in 1971 to avoid National Service in the Australian army, and immediately started working as a journalist campaigning for LGBT and pedophile rights. He joined the Gay Liberation Front (GLF), had close friendships with many members of the Paedophile Information Exchange and appeared on platforms with them. He wrote "GLF's main aim was never equality within the status quo. [...] GLF's strategy for queer emancipation was to change society's values and norms" <ref> Tatchell, Peter (12 October 2010).
