HILLCREST
San Diego LGBT Pride honored members of the LGBTQIA+ community Friday night in Hillcrest at its annual Spirit of Stonewall Rally as part of ongoing Pride festivities.
The rally is named after and honors those who rose up against police brutality in 1969 at the Stonewall Inn in New York City.
San Diego Pride leaders said the “origins of the global Pride movement can trace their roots” to what’s often called the Stonewall uprising or Stonewall riots.
“Why we’re here today is because of an uprising,” Marcus Bush, a city councilmember in National City who is bisexual, said during his keynote speech at the rally. “An uprising against a hateful, homophobic and transphobic society. An uprising against police forces who implement our society’s hateful, homophobic (and) transphobic laws.”
