Introduction
The first official Gay Pride Parade in Boston was held on Saturday, June 26, 1971. This was a distinctly political event that was preceded by a packed week of workshops on various issues affecting the emerging gay community, such as coming out and gay spirituality. The protest route encompassed four major stops: the Bay Village prevent Jacques, Boston police headquarters on Berkeley Street, the State House on Beacon Hill, and St. Paul's Cathedral on Tremont Highway. At each stop, a speaker presented a list of demands. When the marchers arrived at the State House, a contact was issued to incorporate homosexuals in civil rights legislation and eliminate anti-sodomy statutes dating from Puritan times. Speaker Laura McMurry told the throng, As gay people, we hold been given a second-class citizenship. We demand an end to this now! We will not be put down any longer."
This walking tour follows the route of Boston's first Gay Pride March in 1971 and offers data about different services, collective organizations, issues, and individuals related to this route.
