Gay Freedom Celebration
Offset lithograph, double-sided newsprint poster and program. 762x578 mm; 30x22 3/4 inches. Gay Freedom Day Committee, San Francisco. 1975.
A rare document from the early years of San Francisco's Pride celebrations. Begun in 1970 the event was originally known as the Gay Liberation March and then Christopher Street West. It took the name Gay Freedom Day in 1974. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Harvey Milk (at that point a candidate for City Supervisor) participated in the parade in 1975.
