Spirit of Stonewall Rally
General Pride Weekend Date: Friday, July 13, 2018 Time: 6pm – 7pm Location: Hillcrest Pride Flag, University Ave & Normal St., San Diego, CA 92103 Cost: Free Speakers: Keynote Speaker: Virginia delegate Danica Roem Speaker: Honorable Christine Kehoe Speaker: Liat Wexler Speaker: Sakeenah Gallardo Speaker: Ryland Whittington Awardees: Community Grand Marshal: Alberto Cortes Champion of Pride: Tinesia Conwright Community Service: Liat Wexler Friend of Pride: Terrie Vorono Stonewall Philanthropy: SDCCU Stonewall Service: We Care Mixer The origins of the global Pride movement can trace their roots to the Stonewall riots of 1969, an uprising against police brutality that has spread around the world. Over 1,000 Pride events have been identified across the globe, each one taking on a local flair. In San Diego, we launch Pride weekend by honoring those beginnings with the Spirit of Stonewall Rally where we celebrate the accomplishments of those at the forefront of our movement and recommit to the work that lies ahead. Twenty-five years ago, San Diego voted in its first LGBTQ elected official, then City Councilmember Christine Kehoe. She would later go on to become a California State Assembly member and Senator, paving the way for San Diego to have the highest concentration of LGBTQ elected officials in the nation. That is why we are beyond thrilled to announce that Christine Kehoe will be opening up our rally during this very important election year and that the very first transgender person elected to a state office, Virginia delegate Danica Roem, will be our Keynote speaker.
