Description:

Newspiece reporting on a demonstration held outside the Seventh Annual Beaux Arts Ball (a drag event) at the Merchandise Market in San Francisco. Protestors and critics of the event claim its main sponsor, the Tavern Guild of San Francisco, represents an opressive "gay establishment" that delays "[homosexual] freedom."
