International Pride

After the 1969 Stonewall Riots, the first "Christopher Street Gay Liberation Day March" was held June 28, 1970 in New York City. From there it spread to other American cities; Minneapolis celebrated its first Pride Festival in 1972 in Loring Park. Now, "Gay Pride" has become a major holiday linking together GLBT communities across the United States and many other countries of the world.





At the second Pride in Minneapolis, the hand-made "pride guide" was made in the shape of a frisbee so people could throw it away quickly if they felt they needed to.
