Description
San Francisco, California, 1982. Very good +. 76 loose color 4" x 6" photographs. Very good plus: several very lightly soiled on versos, else near fine. This is a fantastic group of 76 photographs shot at a San Francisco Pride parade, formerly known as "Gay Freedom Day." 41 photos are focused on the parade's participants - costumed men and women marching and dancing in the streets, holding signs and waving flags. We see frolicking members of the Gay Freedom Day Marching Band, Twirling Corps and Tap Troupe - founded in 1978 and now known as the San Francisco Lesbian/Gay Freedom Band, it was the first openly-gay musical organization in the world. Marchers hold banners for Lesbians Against Police Violence ("Fight Back In Large Numbers"), the Gay People's Union at Stanford and one simply reads, "I Am Gay And I Love You." There are paraders with signs reading "Troop 69" and "You're Weird" and a shot of a woman in a "Parents of Gays" t-shirt. We also get great views of onlookers and revelers, individually, in small groups and crowds. 30 of the photos show the fabulous parade floats, with such sponsors as the Pacific Coast Gay Rodeo Association, the Bisexual Center, Lesbian Gay Liberation Now and businesses like the Hothouse, Ram's Head and Peter Pan gay bars. Several photos show paraders on motorcycles, a few on horseback, and San Francisco Supervisor Richard Hongisto riding in a convertible. Hongisto had been the first San Francisco police sheriff to hire gay and lesbian deputies. He cofounded Officers for Justice, an organization primarily composed of gay and minority officers, served as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors from 1981 to 1991 and later as Chief of the SFPD. There is also a shot of a car with a flag for the "International Gay Olympics 1982." The Gay Games, an international sporting competition for LGBTQ+ athletes, was founded in San Francisco in 1982. Over 1,300 competitors from 170 cities took part in those first Games; the nine-day event attracted around 10,000 people to the city. The twelfth Gay Games will be hosted in Valencia, Spain, in 2026. A great group of vernacular photographs showing a celebrated LGBTQ+ event in San Francisco.
