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.

I’m just out here doing the Lord’s work. 😂😂

Thank you for following along. Thank you for commenting. Thanks to those who share our content. Thank you to those who push back, and thank you for adding your own perspective.

My goal has always been to share stories and experiences that are not always mainstream, not always comfortable, and not always easy to understand. Sometimes our stories are overlooked. Sometimes they are controversial. The point is not that you will agree with every story. The point is that you may finally understand someone else’s.

That is why we talk.

I welcome the bigots, the phobes, the newly out, the curious, the questioning, the seasoned, and everyone still figuring out where they stand. We can have hard conversations. We can disagree. We can share lived experience. We can be civil.

But this is still my space. You are a guest here. Treat my home with respect. Be well. And may God continue to bless your social media feed with LatterGayStories. 😘
