That 1996 #DCPride was, in large part, a celebration of Justice Kennedy's opinion striking down Colorado's Amendment 2 in Romer v. Evans.

A few years earlier & I easily could have been one of the many thousands in our community who didn't live to tell the stories of 1986 pride.
-
On days like today, while I am filled with joy and gratitude, I also have a space for sadness, for remembering those lost to AIDS.
-
And, before that even, I know that the stories from 1976, & 1966, are almost impossible to find because those people didn't live our lives.
-
Violence and stigma and shame — and explicit governmental discrimination — prevented many of those stories from reaching their natural end.
-
So, here we are. And here I am, grateful to be able to tell my & others' stories today—& to look back & tell others' stories from the past.
