Gay Faire was an annual summer street fair located in Hollywood and sponsored by the United States Mission, a charitable organization,
1977-1983. According to the Faire proposal, "the purpose of the event shall be to support the concept of human rights for
all persons, particularly by supplying visibility of the Gay community to the straight community." Profits from Gay Faire
were distributed as small grants to social service and other organizations representing the Southern California gay and lesbian
community.
