From its origins in 1969, Pride has become a nationwide, and increasingly worldwide, phenomenon. Hundreds of GLBT Pride events take place every year in communities large and small. Pride reminds us that fewer than 40 years ago, such a public event could not have been held in this country. It would have been unthinkable, perhaps even unimaginable. Pride reminds us that there are places in the world today where Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered people aren’t free to be out, much less march in a parade or gather in protest. Pride reminds us how precious civil liberties and civil rights ar to everyone in a free society.

Gay youth groups began meeting at the Gay Community Building in the 1970s, but age restrictions for many Pride events limited their participation. In 1996, the Sexual Minority Youth Assistance League (SMYAL) led Youth Pride Alliance efforts to create a unique festival for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered youth. The first Youth Pride had been staged in Boston in May 1995, attracting 500 people. Youth Pride debuted in April 1997 as a festival in Dupont Circle. Like other Pride festivals, it featured food, music, organizational booths and appearances by local politicians. Since then, April has been Youth Pride Month. Youth Pride moved from Dupont Circle to the P Street Beach park area in 2001. https://archives.rainbowhistory.org/files/original/011fc9b81f4ceb9a3322a8d9d9c8c8d4.jpg 10437a832d5040a93ab88c90a8ea7507 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Black Pride [Exhibit Panel] Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2006 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. Washington, DC has the longest-running and largest Black Pride in the United States. Black Pride began when the 1979 National Lesbian/Gay Third World Conference ended its meeting with a march by persons of color to the National Mall where they joined the March on Washington. This march was the first public demonstration by African-American Lesbians and Gays in the heart of the African-American areas of DC. More than a decade later, on May 25, 1991, the Black Gay Pride Festival was launched at Howard University’s Banneker Field. Best Friends, an African-American AIDS support organization sponsored the event as a fundraiser for the city’s AIDS support groups. Memorial Day weekend was chosen for its significance in the African American GLBT community. From 1975 to 1990, the ClubHouse–DC’s leading Black Gay dance club–had sponsored a major social event over that weekend. Black Pride remained at Banneker Field until 2000 when it moved to its new home in the city’s convention center. Black Pride draws attendees from around the country who comes for a five-day celebration that includes dances, parties, artistic and cultural events, cruises and prayer breakfasts. The success of Washington, DC’s Black Pride has inspired more than 25 similar events in other cities and helped form the International Federation of Black Prides.

Title A name given to the resource Lesbian Pride [Exhibit Panel] Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2006 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. Initially, men and women had worked together for Gay liberation. In the early 1970s, some women reacted to the domination of the men in Gay organizations. Many Lesbians espoused separatism and encouraged Gay women to form their own caucuses and committees, and their own organizations. Lesbian feminists ceased calling themselves Gay and embraced the word Lesbian and the pejorative Dyke. Prominent in the separatist movement was a Washington-DC based collective called the Furies, founded in 1971. They believed that Lesbians had to build their own political movement, and rejected working with men, Gay or straight. In 1975, the Lesbian Feminist Liberation organized the first Lesbian Pride Rallies in New York City which grew to become Lesbian Pride week in 1978. That same year, under increasing pressure to embrace the word Lesbian, New York’s Christopher Street Gay Pride Rally changed its name to Gay & Lesbian Pride Week. Increasingly thereafter, other cities included Lesbain in their Pride names. The 1979 March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights was the first time Lesbian was used before Gay in a public forum. The first Dyke March held in Washington, DC, was organized by the Lesbian Avengers as part of the 1987 March on Washington.

The Millennium March on Washington took place APril 30, 2000. It represented a major rift in the Gay civil rights movement. Unlike the first three Marches on Washington, which were called for and planned by grassroots activists, the 2000 March was initially called for and organized by the Human Rights Campaign and the Metropolitan Community Churches. Criticism focused on the closed nature of the planning process and the lack of a galvanizing political agenda. Many GLBT leaders called for a boycott, and some prominent GLBT organizations did not endorse the event. Despite the controversy and the boycott, masses still descended on Washington, DC, although critics contend it was smaller and less diverse than the two previous Marches. The March platform called for the passage of a hate crimes bill and racial justice. Speakers repeatedly stressed the need to get out the vote on election day. To accommodate persons with disabilities, the March route was dramatically different and shorter than the other three Marches. For the first time, the March included a festival, which stretched down Pennsylvania Avenue. Allegations of theft and fraud, and a subsequent FBI financial investigation clouded the festival, thus the Millenium March ended the way it began – in controversy. https://archives.rainbowhistory.org/files/original/5fcaeefd0effe825ffb04a3156bc0f39.jpg 89100d1a1b5eee2d62ea9e1ade582249 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The growing strength of the Gay rights movement was evident when nearly one million people showed up for the third March on Washington on April 25, 1993, at the time the largest demonstration in U.S. history. While the mood of the 1987 March had been somber in tone, the 1993 March was full of hope and cheer. With the election of the first President openly sympathetic to Gay rights, there was much to celebrate and the March received unprecedented media coverage, including the cover of Newsweek. The NAACP endorsed the 1993 March, the first time the institution directly linked the Gay rights movement to the civil rights movement. The 1993 marchers demanded the Civil Rights Act be amended to provide protection for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered Americans. It was also the first time that Bisexuals were included in the March name; attempts to add Transgender to the title failed. https://archives.rainbowhistory.org/files/original/1ff7614f72e92425b88427c95c3d60b5.jpg 9d72cef6e05c2de045af8f45d18616bf Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In 1987, the Names Project Quilt, documenting those who had died from AIDS< was displayed on the National Mall for the first time. It covered an areas larger than a football field and included 1,920 panels. By 1988 the number of panels had increased to 8,288. In 1996, the display of the AIDS Quilt covered the National Mall from the West Front of the Capitol building to 14th Street, making it one of the largest public arts projects ever conceived and realized. The quilt memorialized the Gay community’s mounting losses to AIDS, and paradoxically, it also celebrates hopes. Public displays of the quilt in the nation’s capitol emphatically rejected homophobia and the social stigma attached to AIDS. Each panel recorded an individual loss. It was then sewn to its neighbors, creating a community of strength, hope, and pride. https://archives.rainbowhistory.org/files/original/52fc9d0085bf1b4a6c7508d492da4403.jpg c10e7ee96a738bb4e1201050b62047e4 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The second National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights took place October 11, 1987, with an estimated half million participants. Protest issues included the government’s slow response to AIDS and the Supreme Court’s 1986 decision to uphold sodomy laws in the Bowers v. Hardwick case. In a foreshadowing of later protests, the day before the historic March, an estimated 2,000 Gay and Lesbian couples exchanged marriage vows in front of the Internal Revenue Service building. After the March, more than 600 protesters were arrested at the U.S. Supreme Court protesting the 1986 Hardwick Decision, making it the largest act of civil disobedience since the anti-Vietnam War demonstrations. Organizations formed as a result of the 1987 March included the National Latina/o Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Organization (LLEGO), the first national group for Latinas and Latinos, BiNet U.S.A. for Bisexuals. National Coming Out Day continues to be marked on October 11th, the anniversary of the 1987 March on Washington. https://archives.rainbowhistory.org/files/original/0a74053fd301203a54b3edc1a6455b4d.jpg dc010f2bed6b70d9574f23800c801985 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Even before the Stonewall riots, gay activists demonstrated in the 60’s for anti-discrimination policies for gays in the federal government and the military. The 1979 March on Washington issued what became known as The Five Demands: Pass a comprehensive lesbian/gay rights bill in Congress; Issue a Presidential Executive Order banning discrimination based on sexual orientation in the federal government; Repeal all anti-lesbian/gay laws; End discrimination in lesbian mother and gay father custody battles; and, Protect lesbian/gay youth from laws that discriminate against, oppress, and/or harass. Today, almost 40 years after Stonewall, we are still debating many of the same issues. Despite significant progress, we have not passed national legislature on any of the original demands except for an Executive Order banning discrimination based on sexual orientation in the Federal Government.

In the late 1970s, Gays and Lesbians and their straight allies loudly and visibly confronted efforts to roll back civil rights protections. In 1978, the DC City Council failed to issue a Pride proclamation, but Pride went on as scheduled. AIDS challenged DC Pride to give visibility to new issues. Pride assumed a responsibility to remind the city of the lives being lost to AIDS. On the even of the 1983 Pride festival, the Hughes-Roosevelt Democratic Club led the city’s first AIDS vigil at Lafayette Park in front of the White House. The following year, there were calls to cancel Pride to focus funds on combating AIDS, but Pride went on as planned. In 1986, a nationwide backlash against AIDS caused Pride and its sponsor, the Whitman-Walker Clinic, to lose their insurance coverage, putting at risk primary sources of GLBT health care and public visibility.

The previous two years, gays and lesbians had gone to New York City to celebrate the Stonewall anniversary. In the winter of 1972, the Gay Liberation Front-DC proposed a local celebration, though they scheduled it a month and half before New York's celebration so that people would not have to choose between the events. DC's initial Pride celebration was as much a protest as a celebration, following almost exactly one year after Gay Mayday and the anti-war Mayday demonstrations had closed the streets of the city. This marked the first public celebration of gay and lesbian pride in Washington DC. Organized by the Gay Liberation Front, the festival drew support from All Souls Church, the Community Bookshop, the Gay Activists Alliance, the Gay People's Alliance of George Washington University, Henry Street (one of the houses of the Awards Club, a local drag organization) and the Metropole Cinema. The principal organizers were Chuck Hall, Bruce Pennington, and Cade Ware.

In 1981, DC Pride expanded to include a parade. It was an immediate success. Community organizations, clubs, bars, and athletic, social, arts and ethnic associations joined the parade along with marching bands and choruses, drag performers and “Dykes on Bikes” contingents. DC Council members, candidates for local office and even presidential campaign organizers joined the parade. Grand Marshals, known today as Heroes of Pride, were drawn from outstanding GLBT community leaders. The parade moved from the Dupont Circle area in 1995, leading the crowd through the city to the new Freedom Plaza site. When the parade was moved back to Dupont in 2003, some saw it as a retreat from hard-won visibility, some welcomed it home. https://archives.rainbowhistory.org/files/original/4efc220164bb66dac5ee7af66fe5d0d8.jpg 4715996ebc73b04596557246e3061063 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource New Name New Location [Exhibit Panel] Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2006 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. As Pride in DC flourished, interest grew in moving the celebration from Dupont Circle – the heard of DC’s GLBT community - to a more visible venue on Pennsylvania Avenue – long known as the “Nation’s Main Street” – to symbolize the importance of the GLBT community to the city and to the country. In 1995, One in Ten, a DC GLBT cultural organization, took over Pride sponsorship. Renamed “Freedom Festival,” the celebration moved to Pennsylvania Avenue. More than 100,000 people attended Freedom Festival in 1995. Two years later, the Whitman-Walker Clinic, DC’s most prominent health care provider to the GLBT community and the district’s major HIV/AIDS service provider, joined One in Ten in organizing the festival, now renamed “Capital Pride.” In 2000, Whitman-Walker Clinic assumed sole responsibility for Capital Pride. More than 200,000 people came to DC annually to celebrate Gay and Lesbian Pride. In 1995, an organized protest arose to boycott Pride and create a separate event for Bisexuals and Transgendered persons. An alternative Pride was held in Rock Creek Park. In 1997, the words “Bisexual” and “Transgendered” were added to Pride’s title.

Lambda Rising continued to sponsor Pride as the event grew and became an annual tradition. Pride ‘76 doubled the previous year’s turnout and brought in more organizations, including Parents of Gays (now known as PFLAG), always one of the most popular participants. Then-DC Council member Marion Barry’s presentation of the official Pride proclamation at the 1977’s block party began the annual tradition of appearances by local politicians. By 1979, the celebration overwhelmed 20th Street. It was time for a larger venue. In 1980, P Street Festival, Inc., was established to organize Pride events on the grounds of the Francis School, along 23rd Street NW and a small grassy stretch of Rock Creek Park known to locals as “P Street Beach.” The larger location accommodated more organizational booths, sports events, art, food, vendors, music and dancing. Almost every member of the City Council attended that year’s events, enough to field a DC City Council vs. Gay community softball game. A new organization, Gay and Lesbian Pride of Washington, took over the management of the festival in 1988.

Title A name given to the resource Creating Pride in DC [Exhibit Panel] Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. Washingtonians participated in New York’s Pride celebrations. In 1971, the Community Church (later Metropolitan Community Church), the Gay Activists Alliance and the Mattachine Society, an early activist organization, sponsored the first bus trips to New York. The first Pride event in Washington, “Gay and Proud,” took place in May 1972. Three years later, a group led by Deacon Maccubbin, co-owner of DC’s Gay book store, Lambda Rising, established DC’s first annual Pride. On June 22, 1975, Gay Pride, sponsored by Lambda Rising and the Community Building Association (home to the Gay Switchboard, Gay Youth, Off Our Backs, The Gay Blade, Lambda Rising and the Bread & Roses Music Coop) took place on 1700 block of 20th Street NW, the city’s first officially recognized annual Pride festival. Gays and Lesbians packed the block lined with booths representing community groups and celebrated with food, drinks, and music.

Title A name given to the resource Stonewall Riots [Exhibit Panel] Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2006 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. The seeds of Gay Pride go back to June 1969. Patrons at the Stonewall Inn, a Gay bar in New York City, forcefully and publicly resisted police harassment. Although the Stonewall Riots were not the beginning of the modern Gay rights movement, they became the preeminent symbol of Gay and Lesbian resistance and changed the movement forever. In the early morning of June 28, New York City police raided Stonewall Inn. Police raids on Gay bards were routine at the time, but numerous raids in recent weeks had created a tinderbox atmosphere. The death of Gay icon Judy Garland provided a spark, and this time the crowd, fed up with continuous harassment, fought back, throwing bottles and barricading the police inside the bar. News of the riot spread. Protesters filled the streets shouting “Gay Power” and openly engaged in defiant public displays of affection. The protests continued for several more evenings, swelling to an estimated one thousand people until the police shut down the protest in an extremely violent retaliatory attack. In the fall of 1969, groups led a commemoration of the first anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. On June 28 1970, one year to the day of the raid on the Stonewall Inn, several hundred Gays and Lesbians gathered at a “Gay-In” that grew to thousands of participants. Similar celebrations occurred the same day in other cities. June became Gay Pride month as a logical following of the annual commemorations of Stonewall. https://archives.rainbowhistory.org/files/original/173b08db4c2f877d1dfc5d644fa5409e.jpg 926dda9eb6201d0e309310677c6b4ece Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Pride is among the ways Gay people have created a public presence. For the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered (GLBT) community worldwide, Pride is a party, a protest, or both at once. Pride demands and defends the civil rights of GLBT people. Pride celebrates and remembers a minority group that once lived in the shadows of the larger population, but is now out, visible, and here to stay. For more than 30 years, Pride has provided a forum for people- Gay and straight- to speak out on civil rights, politics, the AIDS epidemic and other issues. It also is a venue for GLBT political activity and community building. From its first years, Pride has been a place where community organizations and institutions could showcase their activities and attract new members.

In the winter of 1972, the Gay Liberation Front-DC proposed a local celebration, though they scheduled it a month and half before New York's celebration so that people would not have to choose between the events. DC's initial Pride celebration was as much a protest as a celebration, following almost exactly one year after Gay Mayday and the anti-war Mayday demonstrations had closed the streets of the city. This marked the first public celebration of gay and lesbian pride in Washington DC. Organized by the Gay Liberation Front, the festival drew support from All Souls Church, the Community Bookshop, the Gay Activists Alliance, the Gay People's Alliance of George Washington University, Henry Street (one of the houses of the Awards Club, a local drag organization) and the Metropole Cinema. The principal organizers were Chuck Hall, Bruce Pennington, and Cade Ware. This collection includes materials from Gay Pride, Capital Pride, DC Black Pride, and other Pride-related festivals and events.
