• Summary:A collection of 49 pin-back buttons related to lesbian and gay issues. Many buttons are for marches or other political issues; some are AIDS-related; some are for bars or organizations; and a few are whimsical. Many buttons are undated, but majority seem to be from 1980s; the earliest may be for Noblemen's Fiesta Fandango in August 1978, while the latest dated button is 1994, but one button contains a web address and thus may be late 1990s ore even early 2000s. Most buttons are American, but one is in Hebrew, one is related to Africa, and one is in both English and Russian.
