“Since 1975, Santa Cruz Pride has convened an annual event, parade or festival that brings nearly 5000 people to downtown Santa Cruz. The 50th Anniversary of Santa Cruz Pride is a milestone in history for the visibility and celebration of a vibrant LGBTQ+ community unlike any across the country. It is a time to celebrate all people and allies across the county. ”
Young people in high school and college have interviewed queer elders who shared their vibrant history of the past 50 years. Subscribe and listen here / santacruzpride.org/
