Members of the Los Angeles gay community march down Hollywood Boulevard on July 2, 1978, protesting a proposed ban on homosexual teachers. The Briggs Initiative, also known as California Proposition 6, was on the state ballot on Nov. 7, 1978. It was named for its sponsor, John Briggs.

I am glad to here that Jimmy, I think it is a right of passage for all gay people to actually be in the parade several times, to lead marches and have sit ins and be counted and recognized, I love people who set examples for other s to follow. I look for you on the Float!
I haven’t marched in the parade for about 7 years, simply because I am too busy inside the festival. This year, as a sign of support and solidarity, I am going to be on the city float. I always have fun, and even with all of the controversy, I still want to feel “counted”. It’s always been about enjoying myself and being “counted”. Visibility, to me, is the best way to break down barriers.
