1. Were you a UU?

I've heard of Liberal Religious Youth; wish I'd been part of it.

2. Yes. Back in the day when LRY was pretty "radical". The church tried...

to curb our political activities but their was a big struggle for a few years before it all sort of imploded.
The minister at my family's church in Paramus was the first to perform a wedding ceremony for two gay men in a church. We all attended. I believe it was in 1970 so it's amazing that we haven't come very far since then.

but never heard of LRY until I became a UU as an adult

5. Then you know that the church decided the group was a little too..

Liberal. They started it to be autonomous and run by a board of members but they couldn't deal with the reality of what that meant.
It was a great time though. Organizing anti-war protests and marching for civil rights. It formed my views for life.
