These buttons from the private collections of LGBTQ advocates Robert Castillo, Nancy Katz, and the late Marie J. Kuda date from the 1960s to the 2000s. Buttons have traditionally been a way for members of the community to wear their politics and make visual statements about the issues they care about.
