Paul "Gidget" Sinclair was a bartender at the Stud Bar at both the Folsom and Harrison locations. In his spare time, he made pinbacks for the Stud Bar. As a collection, these pinbacks are a visual commentary and a response to pop culture, world events, and the local community. The pinbacks spanned from the late 70s till his untimely death due to AIDS in the late 1990s.
Since 1966, The Stud has created an atmosphere of creativity, spontaneity, and community, and Gidget was one of those people who helped foster that energy. Stud Pin Archives are an homage to Paul "Gidget" Sinclair's spirit and contributions to queer history.
