The flier seen here advertises a march to Westlake Center in Seattle on National Coming Out Day, planned by Queer Nation, a group committed to activism on issues of queer visibility, homophobia, and anti-queer violence.
This item is one of many gathered by the Seattle-born author, artist, and chronicler of local drag culture, Donald Charles "Don" Paulson (1933-2012), in a collection he "dedicated to everyone who ever participated in a protest March, attended a Vigil, campaigned for Peace, Justice, Liberation, Human or Animal Rights, saved the Planet, welcomed the New Age, fought against Racism, Sexism, Ageism, Homophobia, and Abuse. And to anyone whose voice wanted to be heard in a world too often refusing to listen."
