50 something years ago, in a small, grungy hair salon in Chelsea, nyc, LGB youth were getting their hair styled, desperately hoping this would not be a night with yet another raid by the fashion police. This night would be different, however, as LGB youth would rise up against those elements of society that would tell them how to wear their hair, and the gay hair civil rights movement was born.

There is some debate as to who threw the first tub of hair gel, many saying it was Martha, others saying it was Storme. Either way, we in the alphabet community would like to thank pantene pro for acknowledging just how far we have come in the decades long fight for decent hair.
