This scarce pin was issued and sold circa 1969 by the
Gay Liberation Workshop in Nonviolence,
located in
San Francisco California

See images of the
curl of pin

The pin has
great graphics
of two
MALE SEXUAL SYMBOLS

FEMALE SEXUAL SYMBOLS
intersecting with
PEACE SYMBOLS

YOU ARE A CHILD OF THE UNIVERSE . . . YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO BE HERE

By 1971
the Gay Liberation Workshop had
changed its name to
Institute for the Study of Gay Power
