Organized by Georgia’s Homosexual Liberation Front, Atlanta’s first Pride pride took place on June 27,
&#;We tried to earn a permit from the ACLU. They turned us down flat: we weren&#;t a minority, they said, and they couldn&#;t help us. And the town also refused a permit. So we had to own our march down the sidewalks and stop at every light, unless we had the leafy light, of course. We had, by actual count, people. And I undertake know that because I was the marshal and counted them myself &#; twice!&#;

&#;There was a bunch of us just running downtown. Maria Dolan was in a wheelchair for some reason, and we were all dressed as aliens. And we said, &#;We merit our rights.&#; (laughter) It was so stupid, but we had so much fun. We&#;re pushing a wheelchair, and she&#;s going, &#;Faster! Faster!&#; Yeah, I loved those promptly marches. Now they&#;re like corporate, corporate, corporate.&#;
