We're so glad you're here! — The-thing (Talk) (Stuff I did) 17:24, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
Is in the public domain and would it be possible to upload and add the picture? Some us would be so excited to see a photo of such a historic thing. Thanks CyntWorkStuff 21:14, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
That photo is not public domain - I have two photos scanned from the jacket of Don Teal's book, "The Gay Militants", New York: Stein and Day, 1971.
The first is the cloth banner from the head of the march, strung between two side poles and looking about 8 - 10 feet wide. It is being carried by a group of gay men and lesbians marching on a Manhattan street and chanting something. The banner reads:
First line:
CHRISTOPHER STREET
Second line:
GAY LIBERATION DAY
Third line:
1970
(I don't know why wikipedia does that strange thing to the year, sorry, I'm new in town)
The photo cuts off "Street", but "Street" is reported in the text.
The second photo is from the park after the parade, a large group of people, mostly sitting on the ground, with trees in the background. One cloth banner held by some participants reads "Lesbians Unite", there is a Gay Activist Alliance placard, an American flag, several placards and signs I can't read, and, near the camera, two cardboard placards on sticks held by other participants, clearly created to the same design, with "Gay Pride" printed on them and what look like two large paper flowers attached to each sign - so "Gay Pride" was present, but only as a slogan among many slogans.

I'm considering putting Walt Whitman up for featured article review. Any chance you would be interested in helping me watch the review, respond to comments and/or make changes as suggested? They tend to be a little harsh but they do notice things those of us who have been working on the article have missed. It will probably take about 3 weeks to get sufficient responses before it is passed or failed. Are you up for it? -- Midnightdreary ( talk) 17:53, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for starting this article! I added it to Wikipedia:Wiki Loves Pride 2015/Results, which records new LGBT-related articles created during the month of June as part of the annual Wiki Loves Pride campaign. If you happen to create or improve other LGBT-related articles this month, feel free to update the Results page accordingly. Thanks again, and happy editing! --- Another Believer ( Talk) 15:21, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
