Gay Pride San Francisco 1972 Kids Hoodie

Long before there was Pride Month, there was Gay Freedom Day. Originating in San Francisco, the soon-to-be inaugural event in was a small 20- to 30-person march of “hair faeries” followed by a “gay-in” in Golden Gate Park in the summer of 1970, commemorating the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. The following years saw Gay Freedom Day grow and the march turn into a parade in 1972, which over the years became what is more commonly known nowadays simply as the Gay Pride Parade. This design is based on the 1972 event and includes a butterfly that was utilized for the event in the early years, along with plenty of arts and crafts ornaments.
