 The Origins of "Make Love Not War" slogan

Originally invented by the Hungarian-Jewish writter Gershon Legman and the Homosexual rights activist Rod McKuen. Soon the slogan adopted by the hippie peace movement of the 60s in their anti-war (see pro-communist) rallies.

Other than that, the slogan is used also by John Lennon, Bob Marley and Queen.
