Introduction
The first official Queer Pride March in Boston was held on Saturday, June 26, 1971. This was a distinctly political event that was preceded by a full week of workshops on various issues affecting the emerging gay group, such as coming out and lgbtq+ spirituality. The pride route encompassed four major stops: the Bay Village bar Jacques, Boston police headquarters on Berkeley Road, the State Dwelling on Beacon Hill, and St. Paul's Cathedral on Tremont Street. At each stop, a speaker presented a list of demands. When the marchers arrived at the Mention House, a phone was issued to include homosexuals in civil rights legislation and eliminate anti-sodomy statutes dating from Puritan times. Speaker Laura McMurry told the throng, As gay people, we have been given a second-class citizenship. We demand an end to this now! We will not be lay down any longer."
This walking tour follows the route of Boston's first Homosexual Pride March in 1971 and bids information about unlike services, community organizations, issues, and individuals related to this route.
