Members of San Francisco Bay Area Gay Fathers in the San Francisco Freedom Day Parade, 1980.
In San Francisco, San Francisco Bay Area Gay Fathers became a familiar fixture at the annual pride marches. From its inception, SFBAGF had attracted particular attention when it marched in the annual parades. Jack Latham described the way the “newspapers singled us out” and crowds “exploded” in cheers at the initial 1975 group. Latham reasoned that this was because gay fathers marching was “novel and startling.” Throughout the late 1970s, SFBAGF marched in the annual parades, with an increasing number of fathers. In 1979, SFBAGF members who marched in the parade began wearing “gay fathers” T-shirts and carrying banners emblazoned with the same logo. This increased the group’s visibility and membership. From 1982 to 1984, SFBAGF won “most inspirational float” in the parade.
