Gay schoolteachers wearing masks at parade, June 28, 1986

Order an Image
In this image, Seattle schoolteachers participating in the Gay Freedom Day parade through the Capitol Hill neighborhood hold a banner reading "Teachers with Pride Still Have to Hide," and wear masks to protest the discrimination they have felt. An estimated 10,000 people participated in the event, which is part of Seattle's annual Gay Pride Week. The Pride Parade continues to be held annually on the last Sunday in June to commemorate the Stonewall riots, the 1969 event marking the start of the gay rights movement in the United States.
