I wrote a five part series and posted them on Facebook this year to commemorative Gay Pride and Gay History. Day 1.
A historic reminder, as we start PRIDE week, that it hasn't always been easy to be gay, that others before us suffered great indignities, the closet was big and dark and often dangerous, yet a civilized society does have a way with time to understand, accept and embrace differences.
The 24th of June in 1973 was a Sunday. For New Orleans’ gay community, it was the last day of National Pride Weekend, as well.
