Nor would I have imagined t a GLBT Pride Parade would elecast live from start to finish a major commercial TV station. But that's exactly what has hap- pened in San Francisco, where an estimated 1.2 million Bay Area viewers watched the parade on the WB Network affiliate, KOFY- TV (This on top of the 500,000 spectators who lined up to 10- deep along the 2.5—mile parade route). Still, that pales in compari- ‘ son to Sydney. The Gay and Les- bian Mardi Gras Parade was tele- cast live, in S_l_?E_°_9l____ RIDE DAY by Skeeter Sanders marches, not parades. Much like I the civil-rights protest marches of the early ’60’s, the early gay—lib— eration marches had a definite po- litical purpose—and, given the tem- per of those times, extremely radi- cal acts. In the late ’70’s, the gay pride parades———particularly in San Francisco and Los Angeles—be- came wild and woolly celebra- tions of sex and eroticism, reflec- tive of the sexual prime time . revolution which and nation— , wl" see the had reached its wide on the I ' ' peak during the Australian blggest Pnde disco years.

In addition, itjust keeps growing and growing, drawing spectators from all occupations, including a growing number of entire families with children. You know it's Pride Day when you see rainbow flags hanging from lamp- posts and store windows. Indeed, the rainbow colors have become such a dominant symbol of GLBT pride in the last 10 years that you hardly see pink triangles anymore. And when was the last time you saw the Greek letter lambda? It was not always this way. It's hard for many GLBTs under 30 to imagine that it took incredible courage and perseverance to hold a march to celebrate what was then known as gay liberation. What is now a festive celebration of GLBT pride began as a protest against discrimination, intimida- tion and violence. Those early-'70s marchers braved hoots, catcalls, and fre- quent threats of physical violence and actual violent attacks to stage their march. And they were cession than a celebration of gay pride, as contingents from groups dedicated to the fight against AIDS dominated the parade. The big turnaround came in 1989—the 20th anniversary Stone- wall— when GLBTS realized that a new generation had come of age in the two decades since the up- rising. This new generation was coming out more assertively and at a much earlier age than the "Stonewall Generation”—and meant that there was now turning back for the gay-rights movement. Now, as the 30th anniver- sary of Stonewall approaches, Pride Day is changing yet again- not only into an institution that Corporate America is paying at- tention to, but also into our own version of Thanksgiving Day,.as we take time to celebrate not only our pride, but also to give thanks to the many, many GLBT pioneers whose determination and sacrifice made our present-day Pride cel- ebrations possible.
