- Dennis Ficken and Freeman Stamper made the original WSD flag(s) and the IAGSDC banner. They were made at the same time and both were debuted at the same San Francisco pride parade. Scott Carey is the one who insisted on having a gay square dance contingency of all area clubs in the parade dancing behind a common banner. Thus, the banner was completed to span across Market Street. WSD paid for the first banner.
