Pride Cat Mugs
Description: Established in November 1966, The Black Cat Tavern was a gay bar located in Los Angeles, California's Silver Lake neighborhood. Two months later, on New Year's Eve, several plainclothes LAPD officers infiltrated the tavern. After arresting several patrons for kissing, the undercover officers began beating several revelers, ultimately arresting fourteen patrons for assault and public lewdness. With no resolve for those wrongfully attacked and arrested, a civil demonstration of over 200 people to protest the raids was held on February 11 outside The Black Cat Tavern. This was one of the first demonstrations in the U.S. protesting police brutality against members of the LGBT community, preceding the Stonewall riots by over two years.
Description: Celebrate Pride Month with this minimalist cat showing off a surprise rainbow flag. Perfect for LGBTQ+ cat lovers and allies, the continuous-line feline with a pride flag tied to its tail makes a bold statement. The 'surprise.' text adds a playful twist, great for coming out announcements or everyday wear. Get it on a t-shirt, hoodie, or sticker to show your pride. It's also a heartfelt gift for the queer cat lover in your life.
