Wear your pride with this print recreating the cover of the 1972 San Francisco Gay Pride Program!
“Christopher Street Liberation Day Gay-In” (1970); offset flyer promoting the picnic in Golden Gate Park following the first Pride parade in San Francisco. The event was interrupted by San Francisco police officers on horseback who detained several revelers—leading one organizer to suggest that “armed revolution” might be required if gay people continued to face state persecution.
On May 21, 1979, protesters rioted after a jury found Dan White, the assassin of Supervisor Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone, guilty of manslaughter instead of murder. Damage from the event, dubbed the “White Night Riot,” included many broken windows at City Hall and a dozen torched police cars. Police attacks on Castro Street bars left many injured. Some members of the LGBT community wanted to apologize and raise funds for repairs, while others took the position that there should be no apologies. T-shirts with this design were sold to fund the legal defense of protesters arrested during the riot.
The original flags featured eight colored stripes, and Gilbert Baker assigned symbolic meaning to each, to represent the diversity and values of the LGBTQ community:
PINK – sex
RED – life
ORANGE – healing
YELLOW - the sun
GREEN – nature
TURQUOISE - art and magic
BLUE - serenity
PURPLE - the spirit

The first openly gay elected official in the state of California—and one of the first in the United States—Harvey Milk served on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors for 11 months in 1978. During his brief term, he led the successful effort to pass the San Francisco ordinance banning discrimination against gay and lesbian people, and he formed an effective coalition with other progressives on the board and with Mayor George Moscone.
