{"value"=>"<p>Artifacts retained here were created, worn, and collected by Gittings and Lahusen. The artifacts relate to their participation, and span their involvement, in the gay rights movement for over forty years. These items are arranged alphabetically by object type. An item of special note is Gittings' peacock dress, which she wore in the famous Independence Day picket photograph taken by Nancy Tucker in 1969. Gay-themed buttons collected by Gittings and Lahusen include those from early in the movement, such as \"Equality for Homosexuals,\" distributed by the Janus Society, reportedly the second oldest gay button (circa 1966); \"Gay Is Good\" buttons (circa 1968); and \"Kameny for Congress\" campaign buttons (1971).</p>"}
