Origin of Lavender & History of the Gay Rights Movement on Long Island, New York

Lavender Color: Origins in Sayville (Gayville)

The color purple became the color of the gay movement because that is the main color of Sayville ("Gayville") NY. Almost all the veterans of Stonewall spent time there.

 

The color of Sayville is purple with gold trim. Fire Island became the world centre of gays because before WW2, Sayville was the largest resort in the country and full of summer theaters, and because of the south sun, a movie making area with plenty of actors and stage crews. The only way to the Fire Island Communities is through Sayville. A large percentage of the workers were Gay. As there was no roads or families in Fire Island, the Pines became a refuge, a place to hide. Because of the popularity of taking the train out to Sayville, purple became the color of the Gay movement.

According to Steven W. Anderson in "The history of the Rainbow Flag" in Planet Out "The color purple (or, more accurately, lavender) became popularized as a symbol for pride in the late 1960s -- a frequent post-Stonewall catchword for the gay community was 'Purple Power'." The use of purple came right out of New York: Where Sayville is located.

 

That is where he purple/lavender came from.
