This replica tee honors the legendary Reno Gay Rodeo, one of the first and most influential LGBTQ rodeo events in the United States. Founded in 1976, it brought together cowboys, cowgirls, and city slickers alike for a weekend of dust, denim, and defiance — proving that queer pride could ride tall in the saddle.
What started as a fundraiser for local charities soon grew into a national phenomenon, leading to the creation of the International Gay Rodeo Association. Beneath the laughter and the line dancing was something deeply radical: visibility in a space that rarely welcomed it.
