Gay Liberation

Against a black field, this button shows two pink male astrological symbols side-by-side, symbolizing male homosexuality. This button represented the gay liberation movement and its mobilization in the post-Stonewall (1969) era. An important part of the emerging gay liberation movement was a heightened public profile for gays and lesbians, as well as various public expressions of gay pride.
