There’s no doubting that we are on the road to equality. Over the past decade we have made giant strides in changing laws and opinions, making life easier for our queer family. However, we have a long road ahead of us.
But it’s always great to look back at our queer predecessors, and in true ThrowbackThursday form, an Imgur user posted a photo essay of some of those predecessors living, loving, and sticking it to the man.
Check it out some of the photos here, then check out the post on Imgur.Two Shirtless Lovers Holding Hands Across A Table At The Gay Community Services Center (GCSC) Liberation House – 1971Gay Couple, Possibly Students From The University Of Rochester, New York, Sip From The Same Drink While Holding Hands – June 1971March On Washington, RuPaul – April 25, 1993Line-Up At The Leather Sabbat Halloween Party – 1975Crowd Holds Hands At The Los Angeles Christopher Street West Pride Parade – 1971“Let Every Pansy Bloom!” Banner At The San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Pride Parade – June 25, 1978Block And J.J.
