Golden State Cowboys.
Constitution, bylaws, correspondence, flyers, insignia, notes, and meeting notes documenting activities, 1969-1976, of the
Golden State Cowboys (GSC), a membership organization of gay men whose stated purpose was to "expose and maintain a fitting
and proper representation of the 'American cowboy' to society, and provide reason for all to respect our individual habit
of living." The collection includes annotated versions of its constitution and bylaws.
Founded in 1969, the Golden State Cowboys were a membership organization of gay men whose stated purpose was to "expose and
maintain a fitting and proper representation of the 'American cowboy' to society, and provide reason for all to respect our
individual habit of living." Members attended meetings and events in dress "consistent with the image of the American cowboy."
The GSC often organized rodeos as well.
