Why did this get moved away from the Slogan title? "Gay pride" and the SLOGAN "Gay Pride" are two different things. -- Zoe
Is it ever used merely as a slogan? I think separating them is absurd. It is one of those terms that is so intimately linked that it is pointless to categorise it separately as a slogan. STÓD/ÉÍRE 02:58 Mar 21, 2003 (UTC)
From a friendly user: The history section is great, but I looked up this article hoping to find something about current pride days. Hoping someone reading this knows enough to add a section on current pride days, with info like "Pride day is usually celebrated on...." and "The largest Pride Day celebrations are in....." Thanks, Dan
re: "Within the gay community, some reject the notion of gay pride, perceiving therein an undue emphasis on sexual preference and a lack of discretion..."
This (the empahsized wording) was why I reverted everything, instead of just removing the bit about the gay lions - which was odd in and of itself.
The word "preference" used in this mannor only furthers the impression that sexuality is a choice, a lifestyle into which people enter of their own free will. This is most certainly not the case, and as such, the term "sexual preference" is typically only used by individuals rallying against homosexuality, for whatever reason. It's been largely agreed that "sexual orientaion" is the term that is the most correct - and in the case of Wikipedia, the most NPOV.
Personally, I would have kept "men and women" in the passage as well, otherwise you are left with the problem of "some what? Communities? People? Gays?" etc. Arcuras 05:00, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)

I am concerned about the wikilink to " Straight pride" being on this page in the See also section. I feel it should be removed until the Straight pride article is cleaned up to be less hateful and offensive. For example, there's a sentence in it that says "Most supporters of Straight pride feel that homosexuals are inferior in some way to heterosexuals." Unsourced and untrue! Gay pride certainly does not make any such absurd assertions. Gilliamjf 21:25, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
This is less about the article than vandalism. I just removed "Gay Pride Organization founded by ..." from the article. Moving back through the history, I found it had been there with various names for a while. I don't think there ever was some centralized original "Gay Pride Organization". It seems obvious it was a vandal but it's something to watch out for: new names being added without any sourcing or verification. An article like this is obviously ripe for such high school type vandalism. Just a note. -- Pig man 18:31, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
I just added the "expand" tag to the "Opposition" section because I feel the article would be stronger with more support there. Particularly when addressing the question of fundamentalist protest against Gay Pride, it seems a bit weak to end the section with a generalized, unsourced statement about a slang term for the protesters. Is that necessary information? What does it tell us about Gay Pride? It feels like something has been lost here, but since I figured this is an article that someone or a group of someones probably tends on a regular basis, I did not want to mess with the section much without asking if perhaps another editor had removed part of the section to create that abrupt ending. However it came to be in this shape, the section as it stands needs more filling out and a better conclusion. -- thimble 16:47, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
There has been some recent vandalsim on this page. While many of the reverts were justified, the removal of all images was not explained so I reverted that as well.-- Amadscientist 10:38, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
I gotta say....and please don't throw anything at me. This article needs a lot of references. As old as this movement is, and as well documented as it is, it is time to put up the needed references to make this a true Wikipedia article. Seriously, only 3 references? The straight pride article was recently re-written and has 18 references! And that is hardly even a slight following!-- Amadscientist 10:21, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
I have choosen this article to replace my original choice of a jumpaclass article. Originally it was " Straight pride", but that was met with opposition on the page by another editor which started a situation that lead me to nominate the article for deletion. It has been re-written, very well re-written but may still be deleted as the vote is close but you never know. The first time it was nominated for deletion it was a landslide to keep. But anyway, I figured I would just stick to friendly ground and try to remember my days rummaging through the LA Gay archives and all the history there.-- Amadscientist 10:35, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Should the stonewall riot be reffered to as a rebellion? I sympathize with the sentiment but is that appropriate strictly speaking for an encyclopedic website? -- ConeyIslandBoy 16:28, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
The first thing I have done is to remove the word campaign and replace it with movement. Clearly Gay Pride is a movement. I also added "international" to the word movement as it has become world wide.-- Amadscientist 23:14, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
I returned the word "campaign" along with movement. References bare this out.-- Amadscientist 08:55, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
To understand a persons pride of sexuality I believe that the societies history of perception must be put into context with the subject or we have no clear understanding of what anyone is being proud of.
I will also be adding a section of famous figures in contemporary history, such as Oscar Wilde. This is important to see why the uprising at stonewall was of historic significance.-- Amadscientist 00:14, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
The Straight Pride article was voted off the site by AFD this week. However some of the information (only some) could be used to source the opposition section that I had removed previously. I was thinking of adding that section back with referenced material from the other article.-- Amadscientist 22:12, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
I have begun to reference the article as it is at this moment before it gets too large and becomes too time consuming.-- Amadscientist 08:53, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
There is an important history here and needs to included. The early turn of the century movement in Germany. Paragraph 175 as well as the holocaust are all apart of gay pride history and need to be added.-- Amadscientist 11:51, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
I have determined the section to be Original Research and will endeavor to re-write it in a manner that is factual and more directly sourced to the Gay Pride movement.-- Amadscientist 00:39, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
The main problems I had with the section as written were as follows:
There is a main article, Homosexuality in ancient Greece, for this topic, and so the discussion in this article should be as brief of a discussion as possible with a 'main article' notice (which I added at the beginning of the section.
When the article says 'The human form was considered a thing of beauty and there was no great shame in same sex coupling', this is a dire oversimplification of the actual facts. This statement would lead the reader to believe that homosexual sex was considered OK between any two people, regardless of sex or social class. This is actually not true (the homosexuality in ancient greece article does a good job of explaining the nuances here, so I'll refer you to that if you're looking for specifics). This is one of the 'dubious claims' I was talking about. In short, the social system of sexuality depended greatly on social class, and lesbians were never accepted in ancient Greece (in fact they recoiled at the idea). Goldhill's book Love, Sex, and Tragedy gives a pretty good, if a bit oversimplified, summary of this if you want to check it out. The websites cited in the original edit (I'm familiar with them) overlook these nuances, and use parts of the history for advocacy reasons (and while I agree with what they are seeking, personally, the methodology of the history and the reading of sources like Dover is...well...wrong...and annoying).
The same goes for the Rome section, actually, and I'm not quite sure where that site got this information from. And yes, the expansion tag was meant to show that the summary of the Homosexuality in ancient Rome article that might be on this page needs to be longer, and I didn't have time to do it earlier.
Actually, I'm starting to wonder if this should be in here at all, because this article is supposed to be about gay pride and the gay pride movement, both of which are highly anachronistic when talking about antiquity. This concept did not exist for the Greeks or the Romans. For now, I will remove it, but it's in the page history in case anybody wants to dispute the edit in discussion.
I hope this helps. CaveatLector Talk 02:36, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
Oh, I see. I'd forgotten that it's placement in this article was to give context to it's use by the gay pride movement, so I've left it in. CaveatLector Talk 02:37, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
You are correct about the idea of sexuality being a modern or contemporary idea, exactly why the modern gay movements have always looked to history as justification to the movement itself. While touring the gay archives in Los Angeles I found huge references to this and I am attempting to bring it all together. Uhm any chance you could cut me a little slack on this and let me finish before taking directly to it. Unless you would like to work together on this article with me. You seem particularly interested and I have no objection if you wish. But instead of re-editing my work then questioning my concept, perhaps we can come to an agreement about direction. Gay pride has, does and will continue to look to history for direction and inspiration for it's cause and the movement. I am attempting to bring this into the article to better understand what it's core meanings are.
Your reference #8 still does not seem correct. It does not bare out the claim but directs to a wikipage about Oxford Classic Dictionary-- Amadscientist 04:59, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
I have sandboxed it. Sorry if my edits are annoying. I am learning. I will look into your suggestions above and will be keeping what you have added so far. Your contributions are legitimate and welcomed.-- Amadscientist 05:18, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
I am sorry caveat, but I simply do not find your above statement anywhere within Wikipedia guidelines for citing sources. Additionally I do find reference to using web sources as standard as much as RT sources. I also found that when citing a book of any kind the page number must be referenced unless the entire book refers to the information it cites. Since a dictionary cannot in it's entirety represent the information being cited it is appropriate to contain the exact page number as a source here on Wikipedia.-- Amadscientist 00:49, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
While references to web sources are possible, doesn't it stand to reason that authoritative sources such as Dover or the OCD should take precedence? Since they're written by people who have degrees and significant training in this field, that is? (See the section 'What is a reliable source?' in the link I gave you). The websites you have given are not authoritative, certainly not in comparison to those by classicists in this field. There is an online version of the OCD, but you need to be member of a qualifying university to access it. I might be able to drop by my library and grab the pag enumber, but it's still rather silly to quote a dictionary this way. In addition, I've looked up the entry in the online version and it gives a list of sources that are crucial to the subject. I don't know if it would be a good idea to just copy and paste here, though. Can I suggest, if you really are interested in this, you go to the library and check out the OCD to start research towards improvement? Also, I actually agree that this does not have a place in the Gay pride article because of WP:OR, but I'd still recommend reading up on it if it interests you. CaveatLector Talk 02:56, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
Frankly you gave a pretty good argument to the "authoritative sources" argument. I my self am but a history buff and very uneducated. I feel there are still many articles online that site these sources and if properly used can make very good references. However I may also be in need of getting off my butt and just go to the library. Even my small local library has several computers that I could use to update on wiki as I research in real time with out having to bring all those books home. I am also lucky enough to live near a large Metropolitan center and can take a light rail train almost directly to the Sacramento county Main Library Branch. Although there is a link to history and the Gay pride movement I am going to hold off for now until I can make it into San Francisco and visit the Gay Archives there. AT least I assume they have one. I know the LA archive has been moved and I seldom make it that far south anymore. Thanks for you help. For now I leave the article with these improvements. Perhaps it is enough to get it to a B rating.-- 69.62.180.166 05:37, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
Lets get this right. When speaking of gay men and women it IS a lifestyle, an alternative life style. I won't to know what the basis was of reverting that part in the opposition section. Lets talk about that.-- Amadscientist 22:38, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

A Macy's East store in Boston MA on 6/6/2006 touched off a national public relations firestorm when it bowed to pressure from a local anti-gay group and removed two "homosexual mannequins" from a window display promoting Boston's Annual Pride Celebration. [1]
Boston's Mayor Thomas Menino called the decision by Macy’s to alter the window in response to complaints "unfortunate." "I’m very surprised that Macy’s would bend to that type of pressure," said Menino. [2] “Macy’s was celebrating a part of our community, gay Pride, and they should be proud of the gay community, and I’m proud of the gay community and gay Pride. Once again it’s the radical right wing that’s doing this. They don’t represent the people. Their motto is, we’ve had enough of 'them'." [3]
A spokeperson for the groups stated to the press: "Basically, here you have two apparently homosexual men touching each other, both of them with big breasts that are unlike any mannequin anyone’s ever seen. A number of people are getting a little tired of having homosexuality pushed in their faces". citation needed
The mannequins used in the window display clearly were designed to look like young athletic males with developed pectoral muscles - not breasts.
Macy's further upset the gay community by removing from the display the website address for a local Aids Action Committee. AIDS prevention continues to be a major theme of the Boston Pride celebration.
The Boston Pride Committee, which organizes Gay Pride Week, serves the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities by promoting tolerance and awareness. Linda DeMarco, president of Boston Pride, told reporters she was disappointed by Macy’s decision, though she praised them for not taking the exhibit down entirely. "I’m disappointed because I thought Macy’s was a little stronger than that. I give them credit for not breaking down completely, but I would at least have appreciated them calling the Pride committee or going to the Web site and seeing that it is not a threat and certainly seeing that the AIDS Action Web site was not a threat." citation needed
ACLU of Massachusetts spokeswoman Sarah Wunsch criticized Macy's for "succumbing to the bigotry" of what she said was a fringe anti-gay group. [1] [2]
The group involved is opposed to same-sex marriage (in a state where the democratic judicial system made same-sex marriage legal in 2004) and gay-straight alliance clubs in public schools and are known to seek out gay visibility and signs of acceptance to protest.
The Macy’s display window was in step with Boston's community standard of diversity and was just one of several public displays and advertisements marking Boston Pride June 10. Boston City Hall had raised the Pride Flag on June 2, Faneuil Hall Marketplace held a Pride event June 3, and signs advertising Pride are up on street lights around Boston Common which host the Pride Festival also on June 10. Mayor Menino said a small but vocal group have called City Hall to complain about the Pride flag raising, but he has no intention of bowing to pressure. "They call, but I treat them like they’re a piece of wet paper", said Menino. "They’ll disappear eventually. I don’t take them very seriously." [3]
Macy's community public relations misstep gained national attention after the story was included on a lead story on The Drudge Report website on 6/7/06.
A national boycott campaign has begun calling for consumers - straight or gay - offended by Macy's decision to appease bigotry to cut up and return their credits to Macy's with a request to cancel their accounts.
The boycott is calling for offended consumers not to shop at any Federated Department store until Macy's offers a public apology to the citizens of Boston, takes the mannequins "out of the closet" and back into the store window. citation needed
A possible resource. Transgender Aging Network has launched a project - Living Memory LGBT History Timeline to assist with aging LGBT folks "It is impossible to tell without asking someone precisely which public events shaped their lives, but knowing what was likely reported in newspapers and discussed at dinner parties during a person’s lifetime may help you understand how their worldview was shaped. To offer insight into the concerns, lifestyles, and belief sets of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people who are now 50 and older, the Transgender Aging Network has constructed the following timeline showing how old they would have been when there were critical events or changes in the lives of LGBT people." Starting with the 1920s the events list can be cross-referenced with current GLBT timelines and used as a possible stepping stone to aid Trans projects and awareness.

I think it's important to understand that the concept of Gay/LGBT Pride developed in the context of a culture and society which saw homosexuality and homosexual acts as something to be deeply ashamed of. Prior to Stonewall, we were all taught to see ourselves as sinful, criminals, a product of arrested development, unable to form meaningful relationships, in desparate need of psychiatric treatment, etc. These messages are, in fact still promoted by a significant segment of the population. It is of particular significance to be able to stand up and say we are not ashamed, we are proud to be who we are. The beginning section needs to include this idea.

Just one question, why three of the four pictures that can be seen in the article are pictures from Paris? Is this an article about gay society in France or something? I think those pictures should be changed, showing more geographical diversity, and not show pictures from only one country, specially when in that country gay marriage is not even legalized. -- Galician ( talk) 13:54, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

The date of the Stonewall Riots was June 28, 1969, why then is Gay Pride Day not celebrated on that date, why is Gay Pride Week not even in June in a lot of states and other countries. It seems a shame to me, and I am sure a cause of confusion to straight people, that the Lesbian and Gay community have decided to celebrate it't most important day and week in such a hap hazard manner. I am no politician, but it would make a much greater impact on the Hetrosexual community if the Gay and Lesbian Community would all celebrate their Pride on the day it theoretically began, if they would show their solidarity and unification by celebrateing Gay Pride Day and Gay Pride Week at the same time in every state in all the major cities and wherever it is celebrated. Why is is boroken up, some in May, some in October, some in July, come on get it together, if you want to make a statement, make it correctly make it either on June 28, or if you have to, pick a day or week in June and celebrate....Stop the dis-unification...come together and make a really huge statement instead of many dis-connected parades and what ever. Is there no one group that seems to be in charge, no group to coordinate these important functions. It seems to me that if you do not celebrate on June 28, or at least the week containing that date, you are not really celebrateing Gay Pride, you are just deciding to have a parade...rather meaningless...I will bet that without reading this article that nearly 80% of the Gay and Lesbian Community have no idea when the Stonewall Riots took place......It's fine to be young, middle aged, older and excited and wanting to express your pride in being gay, but lets get with it.....express it when it should be expressed...every day...and especiall on June 28.....Hope this little message reaches some of the right people and things will change some time soon.......

I'm trying to correct mistakes regarding the origin of Gay Pride. The statement about GLF and GAA originally organizing the first march are not supported by any of the recognized references. The Brenda Howard reference appears to come from a blog post of questionable accuracy and, perhaps, from some conclusions based on shaky references. There is only one report of Howard attending meetings of the Christopher Street Liberation Day Umbrella Committee, and not as one of the primary members/organizers (Craig Rodwell, Fred Sargeant, Ellen Broidy, Linda Rhodes, Michael Brown & Foster Gunnison) that formed the nexus of the coordinating group.

I have a some issues with the content of the history section. The second paragraph seems to involve some original research or questionable synthesis, which ends up glamorizing ancient Rome at the expense of the Medieval era:
During Medieval times all forms of sexuality began to be repressed by the church as the message of heaven and hell gained popularity.[14] As technology fell behind, simple luxuries such as clean running water and proper sewage became a thing of the past.
These luxuries were not enjoyed by the large majority of people in Rome either. Only about 1/26 lived in a house and the public baths were standing water filled with dirty people in the days before chlorine.
This caused horrible conditions and disease.
As noted in my previous source, horrible conditions and disease were common in ancient Rome as well. This should not be serving as a contrast.
People began to believe that they were suffering from the wrath of God, blaming immorality.[15]
-"began"? The source that very sentence cites says, "The connection between morality and illness is not a medieval creation, but part of the heritage of Greco-Roman medicine."

The content merged from straight pride is given undue weight to the opposition section in general and the "straight pride" idea in particular. It's OK to have just a summary here, but all that verifiable content should be placed elsewhere - at the straight pride article if it survives AfD or at LGBT rights opposition otherwise.

Her full name is used without her consent. She's not a public figure. I believe this falls under this "posting of personal information" paragraph on the harrassment article and she should be protected by it. /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Harassment#Posting_of_personal_information This user had uploaded this picture on two pages (the other one was on the Greek wikipedia site) and another picture on another page (also in Greek). We edited the two Greek pages that were not semi-protected to remove the images that use her name. In the second picture, she was specifically telling the photographer not to take her picture. Being at pride doesn't equal consent for your full name and pictures to appear on the internet. Please don't make this a debate.
__
You're kidding, right? I'm Christina Antoinette Neofotistou. I'm not a celebrity, I'm just as anonymous as the activists around me. Someone just wants my full name and face on the internet. The text used to read "Christina Antoinette Neofotistou (center-left, above the Greek word Soma on the banner)". This is clear targeting, and a clear violation of privacy. − In the other photo by the *same* account/person, it is clear that I'm holding up my hand in protest at the photo.
This happened this past Athens Pride, and the photographer was really really sleazy and refused to delete the photo.
We believe this is retribution, because he found out who I am and posted all the info they know about me. Outing is never a good thing, and being present at a gay pride, doesn't give anyone the (legal or moral) right to out you. Minors are dependent on me, so it doesn't matter HOW proud I am, they are not to be punished. Is this clear? Christina

And since they are symbols, could someone add some pictures? I think that would be cool. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.12.233.235 ( talk) 04:14, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

EVENTS in Spain
MADO (July) MADRID MADO Madrid Pride has been for years the largest urban event celebrated in Europe because it brings over two million people together in the main streets and squares of the city. The performances take place in Plaza de Chueca, a symbol of freedom and LGTB rights that offers concerts and other activities for all kind of audiences.
Mado is now more than just Madrid's gay party, it's a great economic, social and vindicative affair that every year transcends our borders and turns Madrid into the city of diversity.
Youtube: MADRID LGTB Pride is a multiethnic and multicultural celebration open to everybody (children, teens, the elderly, neighbors and visitors from all over the world), transforming Madrid into an open Gateway to Diversity. This is the spirit in which “Orgullo, ejemplo de convivencia” (“Pride, example of coexistence”) was created, an initiative that looks to spread awareness and involvement amongst groups, businesses, organisms and organizers about the importance of MADO and it´s aim to expand respect and peaceful coexistence.
In the past few years Madrid Pride celebrations have congregated more than two million participants. The traditional multicolor Statewide Parade running through the capital serves as the perfect climax to a week full of festivities. Madrid's Gay Pride has become, by its own right, the most popular celebration in Spain. Madrid Pride has gone from being a small protest in the 80´s to the enormous event it is today, a moment in which we all come together to celebrate equality and diversity in a festive and fun way, without ever forgetting the LGTB community´s pursue for rights.

Circuit Festival (August) BARCELONA - IBIZA CIRCUIT Circuit Festival began to take shape six years ago (2009) in response to the needs of a concerned international gay scene that began to demand new entertainment options apart from the traditional ones that had been associated with the LGBT audience.
And, until then, in Europe there had been an obvious gap in terms of a leisure and holiday quality offer that was able to satisfy the expectations of an audience that, increasingly, was as diverse as demanding.
With the conviction that we had the necessary capacity and structure to offer to the gay community a comprehensive leisure option as respectful to their needs and preferences as capable to satisfy their expectations, Circuit Festival Barcelona was born, which is the biggest cultural and leisure international festival for gays and lesbians in Europe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eazu ( talk • contribs) 13:31, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Gay pride → LGBT pride – I think the name of this article should be "LGBT pride" instead of "gay pride". The word gay is an ambiguous and often pejorative term and it does not cover anything beside male and female homosexuals. Are bisexuals and trans people gay? According to this name, they are.
We already have LGBT portal, LGBT-related lists, LGBT culture, LGBT people, LGBT history and even LGBT stubs. Do I see somewhere Gay portal, Gay-related lists, Gay culture, Gay people, Gay history and Gay stubs?
I hereby propose that the article should be renamed to "LGBT pride" in order to standardize Wikipedia's coverage on LGBT topics. -- Devin Murphy ( talk) 20:19, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
