How Rich Wandel captured the Gay Liberation Movement

Worn with pride

The Center has collected pins, buttons, and badges from across the decades of pride marches and festivals.

These badges commemorate the annual march, which began as the Christopher Street Liberation Day march in June 28, 1970 and has evolved into New York City's annual Pride parade.

Ty's bar opened on Christopher Street in 1972. It was among the first of the gay venues that opened in the village in the wake of the 1969 Stonewall riots.
