Celebrate the LGBT Pride Parade, now and then

Photographer and LGBT civil rights activist Daniel Nicoletta began documenting the San Francisco LGBT Pride parade in the 1970s, alongside everything else he came across in the burgeoning gay community. His photographs are collected in this definitive monograph from Reel Art Press. Featured here are two parade photographs—the first of the Stud bar’s June 24, 2001 float with Portia Peeples; the second of Grace Jones heading dance club Oil Can Harry’s float in June of 1977. Of course, these are just the tip of the iceberg. You’re going to want to see the book for yourself for the complete history of LGBT: San Francisco.
