Photographic Negatives and Contact Prints from the 1980 New York City Gay Pride Parade

Unbound. Fine. 35 black & white negatives on six strips, with black & white contact print sheet of all images; 29 of the images are views of the 1980 Gay Pride parade in New York City, with signage identifying some of the participating groups and individuals: Dignity for Lesbian and Gay Catholics; I am Gay and I Love You - Advocate Experience; Lesbian Herstory Archives; Gay Daddies - Gay Fathers of Brooklyn; Gay Youth NYC; The Big Apple Gay Men's Chorus; The Disco Kazoo and Marching Band; Judson Memorial Church; and with Princeton, New Jersey, Cleveland, and California groups' signage visible and one sign stating "80 Pride"; the remaining images are four shots of a couple of groups of people at the roadside watching the parade and unrelated shots of actress Tovah Feldschuh holding a copy of the promotional book for her film *Idolmaker*. No photographer or studio is noted. The images were taken with Kodak 5063 Pan (Tri-X) film and the negatives are contained in a 'Q-Pic' specialty photographic sleeve. The negatives and contact prints are about fine and generally well-composed, and taken with near-professional quality. An interesting ephemeral glimpse of the New York City Gay Pride movement in the early 1980s.
