As noted by the (vital) Library of Congress: “On June 28, 1970, on the one year anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, the first Pride marches were held in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. Thousands of LGBT+ people gathered to commemorate Stonewall and demonstrate for equal rights. The events of Stonewall and the liberation movements that followed were a direct result of prior decades of LGBT+ activism and organizing…Foster Gunnison Jr. reflected on the positive outcome of the New York Christopher Street Liberation Day 1970:

“...And each of these 5,000 homosexuals had a new feeling of pride and self-confidence, for that was one of the main purposes of the event-to commemorate, to demonstrate, but also to raise the consciences of participating homosexuals-to develop courage, and feelings of dignity and self-worth.” -May 1971

In these uncertain times, we hope you will join us to honor the work and sacrifice of those who fight for equality and to celebrate the inherent worth, dignity, and contributions of these important members of our local community.
