“I think the thing that sticks out the most when I look back at our history is how similar it is to what we’re going through now,” said Jen LaBarbera.

CBS 8 archives show it has evolved from a handful of people to hundreds of thousands of LGBTQ+ Community members and allies supporting gay and transgender rights.

“We were fighting against the Briggs Initiative in California which was a state ballot measure that would have barred gay teachers from being able to work in schools,” said LaBarbera. That same year President Clinton enacted “Don’t ask, don’t tell” in the military. In 2010 the military order was repealed, and the following year service members could march in uniform without fear.

“One of my favorite things is just walking down the street and somebody will just be honking their horn and screaming happy Pride as they’re driving down the street,” said LaBarbera.
