UCC Gay Caucus Button Pin San Francisco United Church Christ Vintage LGBTQ Pride

Description

Up for Buy it Now or Best Offer (make an offer!), an original, vintage Faith Not Fear button / pin / pinback, c. 1973, made for the United Church of Christ Gay Caucus, by Dave Valentine, 556A Castro St. S.F. 94111.  Measures approximately 1.25" diameter. Dave Valentine was the same person who designed/manufactured buttons for Harvey Milk, for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, and other LGBTQ activists and events. This button is from the United Church of Christ or UCC Gay Caucus, which started in the early 1970s. Very progressive for its time, to acknowledge and unconditionally accept gay members! A rare find and an early piece of LGBTQ and religion history!
This comes from the estate of an individual who was involved in the civil rights / social justice movements of the 1960s, 1970s, and beyond! He collected all kinds of political, presidential, local/state/national buttons, stickers, ephemera going back to Eisenhower. The original owner/collector frequently marked years, dates, and other information on the backs of items collected. If you'd like more information for the sake of provenance, please ask! Out of respect, I don't want to identify the individual on eBay! I have more posters and items from this estate which will be listed soon, if they are not already!

eBay automatically collects state sales tax for some states, and other states will be added soon. As a seller, I have no control over this. eBay does not show sellers the possible sales tax a buyer may be charged upon purchase. Sales tax is not considered part of the negotiated / offer price, and unless agreed upon before purchase, I [seller] will not adjust cost to compensate, cover, or pay for sales tax. Thank you for your understanding.
Please make payment within 72 hours of purchase or contact me if there will be a delay. If payment is not received or there has been no contact at the end of 72 hours, an unpaid item claim will be opened.
