Ah, the Seventies when people wore puka shell necklaces, feathered their hair and posed next to their sweet, sweet rides. As I write this post, I’m doing it in the voice of “Wooderson” from Dazed and Confused. People posing with cars today simply don’t look as cool as these folks did. They just don’t.

In 1969, the New York Stonewall riots ignited a fire under the LGBT rights movement. Not only were LGBT citizens now demanding a more open and public position in society, but that visibility also led to a lot of backlash from the conservative side. That being said, the 1970s saw a lot of traction, momentum, and gains in the fight for equality. For example, the work of Evelyn Hooker forced the American Psychiatric Association to remove homosexuality from their list of mental disorders in 1973. And in 1977 Harvey Milk, an openly gay activist, was elected to the Board of Supervisors in San Francisco. Those are just a few examples, and the below photos represent moments from those protests that helped pave the road to equality. (via BuzzFeed)
