Background

Scope and content:

Press releases, bylaws, flyers, event permit documents, parade participant lists, financial records, contractual agreements, clippings, correspondence, legal documents, event schedules, police ordinances, and other material documenting the activities of the Gay Freedom Day Committee in San Francisco, 1973-1991. The committee was responsible for publicity, logistics, permitting, and financing of San Francisco's Gay Freedom Day Parade and Fair, held annually at the end of Gay Pride Week in late June. The bulk of the collection documents permitting and financing of the 1977 and 1978 Gay Freedom Day events.

Biographical / historical:

The Gay Freedom Day Parade and Fair was the name of San Francisco's annual gay pride parade (by the early 1980s the event was referred to as Lesbian/Gay Freedom Day). In 1977 parade and festival attendance burgeoned in response to national anti-LGBT initiatives supported by Anita Bryant and others.
