Pin buttons are a prolific part of queer culture and history. They were worn to show pride, mark protests, support movements, identify allies, and champion change. For LGBT History Month, Spectrum Center will be highlighting this iconography at a button-making and decorating event! Join us to learn more about queer button culture from the civil rights era through today. We’ll have button makers to create replicas of pin buttons from history, as well as supplies to create your own! We encourage you to bring one of your own jackets/items to decorate. Light food and snacks also provided. See you there!
