Big Goy Parade *72 is over. history, and a good many lessons were learned out o f it. One is, that, if you rant and rave, and other things, you can bring a hunch o f people from the various lifestyles within the Gay scene o f San Francisco, into a working unit for a single project. Sure, many objected to some o f the tactics used, but, as tbe months have gone by, those deeply involved, now know that it Luscious Lorelai living it up. could not have been any other way. Jim Halladay and Mt. Valantina. For the “mouths” were all around, but it was the “screamers and shouters” who did the work, for the “mouths” could only work their mouths. The deposed editor o f Vector, now Advocate reporter, George Mendenhall, denounced the Parade then, as be denounces the prospect o f another. Just as he says that “there is no police oppression o f Gays in San Francisco ”. S.I.R. did endorse and work in the Parade, along with the EMMAUS HOUSE, the GAY ALLIANCE, METROPOLITAN COMMUNITY CHURCH, TAVERN GUILD, and the HOT MOON COMMUNE. There are those who would keep the ’73 Parade the “exclusive property” of tbe Gay elitists and keep out anyone who did not want to be in the Parade on “their terms, the elitists. ” Prospects for a Parade nearly as good as last year are quite dim. But, there will be one, and I predict that it will be more o f a March, ending with a GayFair. This edition o f GAY PRIDE, is to let you know that there is going to be a GA Y PARADE ’73, on Sunday, June 24th, 1973.
