And yet, it couldn’t be so binary at the time, could it? A headline in the February 1967 issue of ‘The Ladder.’ (Courtesy of the GLBT Historical Society) According to that mythology, 1967 was all about a specific set of rebellions: longhairs against squares, children against parents, radical social experiments against conservative family values. It’s hard to imagine this now, 50 years after the Summer of Love, when the hippie looms large in San Francisco’s self-perpetuated origin story. But for many of the city’s residents, life continued relatively undisturbed. It’s true that hordes of hippies heeded Timothy Leary’s call to turn on, tune in and drop out, and that less rigorous rebels followed Scott McKenzie’s gentle urge to show up with flowers in their hair. The thing about the Summer of Love is that it was also, simply, 1967 in San Francisco.
