There isn’t any way to talk about LGBT+ history without talking about Pride. While Pride marches and riots kicked off in Pennsylvania after Stonewall, it took a bit more time for Central PA to begin organizing their own public events. Still, with the earliest recorded event on this timeline occurring in 1976, it may not have been as late as some may think.
