In the late 1980s, The Oprah Winfrey Show began bringing LGBTQ stories into mainstream daytime television—at a time when few others were willing to. Really, few others dared to even consider it.

Drag performers like Leslie Rejene, a standout at Chicago’s Baton Show Lounge known for her Diana Ross impersonations, appeared on Oprah’s show and introduced audiences to a level of beauty, presence, and performance many had never seen before.

Not long after that, bodybuilder Bob Paris appeared publicly with his partner Rod Jackson. Paris was at the height of his career, and coming out came with real consequences—after his appearance on the show many of his sponsorships faded and his opportunities narrowed. The couple’s relationship eventually ended, and Paris later built a second chapter as a writer and remarried.

These queer moments weren’t just segments—they were early visibility. At a time when LGBTQ lives were largely absent from mainstream media, Oprah’s platform helped bring real people and real stories into millions of homes, opening the door for broader awareness and understanding.

Here’s to visibility and awareness! 🥂❤️

In a few weeks, friend and foe will be using social media to comment about Pride month. Brace yourself.

So here’s a quick history lesson that you probably didn’t know. Most people trace the genesis back to the Stonewall Riots, which brought national attention to the movement, but the PRIDE story actually started two years earlier.

On New Year’s Eve 1966–67, police raided the Black Cat Tavern, a gay bar in Los Angeles, and when midnight came and men kissed, officers responded with violence. Patron beatings, arrests, and criminal charges reflected how openly gay people were policed at the time. The response didn’t stay quiet; protests were organized within weeks, including a demonstration in February 1967 that is now recognized as one of the first public protests for gay rights in the United States.

In the immediate aftermath of those events, activists formed Personal Rights in Defense and Education (PRIDE) in early 1967, making one of the earliest documented uses of the word “pride” in direct connection with gay rights organizing. That language existed before it became a label for marches or a month on the calendar, and it reflected a shift that was already underway—away from silence and toward something more visible and self-defined.

By the time Stonewall happened in 1969, that shift had already begun in places like Los Angeles. What Stonewall did was accelerate it and bring it into national focus, which is why it became the reference point most people know today, even though it wasn’t the starting line.

Stonewall was important and should not be discounted—but it wasn’t the beginning, and recognizing the people who were organizing, resisting, and even naming it earlier is part of telling the story honestly.
