Northampton Pride, 1989

front Two students in a parade crowd carrying a sign that says "Lesbian Bisexual Alliance - I'm a Dyke - I'm a Byke," with the intention that the student standing near the "I'm a Dyke" portion of the sign identifies as a dyke, and the student standing near the "I'm a Byke" portion of the sign identifies as a byke, or bi-dyke, or a woman who prefers a female partner but has occasional attractions to men. Inscription on the reverse: "Holyoke College Student Stacey Kargman, 21, of NYC, left, and Susan Morgan, 21, were among the throngs of marchers in Northampton's annual lesbians & gay pride parade." Photo by Bob Stern for the Springfield News, dated May 6, 1989.
