Reflecting on 50 Years of Seattle Pride with GS-JJ’s Stunning Pins
Oct 16, 2024 | Seattle Pride
In 1974, a historic moment unfurled in Seattle as more than 200 LGBTQIA+ people, buoyed by the Stonewall uprising five years earlier, gathered publicly in an act of collective resistance. Their purpose was clear: to expel shame and to stand in defiance of those who wished to keep us hidden and disempowered. They were no longer willing to wait, no longer willing to hide, no longer willing to be denied the right to exist. Their echoing cry was NOW.
Now: This word transcends time, encompassing our past, grounding us in the present, and propelling us into the future. Now is the moment. Now is our legacy. Now is forever.
To honor this momentous occasion, we partnered with GS-JJ, our go-to pin creators, who once again delivered something truly spectacular. This year marks a milestone for Seattle Pride as we celebrate 50 years of advocating for equality and amplifying the voices of the LGBTQIA2S+ community.
These pins aren’t just a symbol of celebration—they’re a tribute to the tireless efforts of our community, who are the heart and soul of every Seattle Pride event.
While these limited-edition pins are no longer available, they will forever stand as a tribute to those who have carried the torch for a half-century of advocacy, unity, and progress.
