Description
In the summer of 1978, members of the San Diego LGBT community gathered for a picnic a day before marching in what was then called the San Diego Lesbian/Gay Pride parade. News 8's Doug McAllister spoke with people at the picnic about controversy surrounding participants who some worried would use the parade for means besides "promoting gay pride, gay unity and human rights for gay people." On parade day, hundreds showed up marching to show pride and "to protest the oppression of gay people all over America."
