GAY SIGNS
* gay design ideas *
In the gay dark ag (sometime before Ksey’s rearch revealed how many of there actually are), the sparse rmatn available about the gay muny was pure famatn. ‘Homosexual, ’ a medil term associated wh mental illns and synonymo wh pedophilia, was often the only word available for scribg queer people of any kd (excludg slurs). When the Amerin gay liberatn movement started the late sixti, clil terms like ‘homosexual’ and ‘transexual’ were dropped for the more posive ‘homophile’ (and then simply ‘gay’) and ‘transgenr’.
The pk triangle, a hate-fueled mark assigned to gay men by the Nazis, and the black triangle for lbians were both appropriated by the muny. Graphic signer Tom Doerr chose the Greek lambda for the Gay Activists Alliance, and would eventually bee the symbol for gay and lbian rights worldwi. For gay bars, pri events, important msag, and any tablishment that is lookg to stake out a fively queer space, say loud and proud wh a bold sign.
That’s not so much the se the days, but we gays haven’t totally abandoned the mure approach. Tel Aviv’s Shpagat gay bar mimal, offbeat text for that ht of quirk. Most gay liberatn movers and shakers probably weren’t tryg to be pneers—they were jt tryg to be themselv and live their liv an thentic way.
