After the early years of Pri Cleveland the 1970s sponsored by numero anizatns, gay muny members and anizers Cleveland elected to jo the larger Pri celebratns Columb, Oh through the 1980s.

The ncellatn led to the anizatn of Pri the CLE by the LESBIAN/GAY COMMUNITY SERVICE CENTER OF GREATER CLEVELAND which anized celebratns 2016 and 2017 before the anizatns rned 2018. However, the stunt newspaper at CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY, The Observer, claimed that the Gay Pri March that took place on September 15, 1973 was the first event of s kd Cleveland.

There was a hope that around two-hundred people would be attendance, but only forty attend the march, which anizers attributed to fear by many the gay muny that they would be regnized and ostracized.

GAY BARS IN CLEVELAND

The first event, “Lbian and Gay Pri ‘89: An Out of the Closet Experience, ” took place on a block of Wt 29th Street where mil groups and booths sellg food, ice cream, shirts, books, and balloons were set up.

In 1991, STONEWALL CLEVELAND put together a list of five mands for Pri that year, which clud fundg to fight AIDS rather than war, full civil rights for lbians, gays, and bisexuals, endg racism wh and outsi the gay, lbian, and bisexual muny, keepg abortn safe and legal, and fally, the right to live openly whout harassment and vlence. The events clud the “Rooftop Kick Off Party” on Thursday night, “The Big Bang” celebratn on Friday night, the Gay Gala at the Masonic Audorium Saturday afternoon, and the Gay Gala afterparty Saturday night.

The LESBIAN/GAY COMMUNITY SERVICE CENTER OF GREATER CLEVELAND was the ma sponsor for the event, but planng took the efforts of a total of eighteen anizatns, as well as fundg om the CLEVELAND FOUNDATION and the AIDS Fundg Collaborative. Although Cleveland Pri abptly nceled the annual Pri March 2016, the LESBIAN/GAY COMMUNITY SERVICE CENTER OF GREATER CLEVELAND stepped to ensure that there would be an annual event by begng Pri the CLE, which has ntued annually sce then and merged wh Cleveland Pri unr one event.

Wh most beg the closet, lol gay people equented bars and diss to meet iends, make hook ups (nsentg partners lled “tricks”) and bask an environment wh others who were like them. Input om both the Cleveland Divisn of Health and the Cleveland Free Clic helped te lol gays about the symptoms of venereal diseas, where to get nfintial help, what to do to prevent such illns, cludg ndom e, and what to look for potential sex partners. While there were var protts and other actns taken by advot om 1972 to 1976, the third Gay Pri March/Celebratn didn’t occur until July 1976 when wh mimal publicy Dan Richmond, newly appoted worship ordator of the Cleveland Metropolan Communy Church, held a march om Gypsy’s Rtrant at 2418 through downtown Cleveland to Wt 6th Street.

The four primary gay polil groups the Cleveland area the 1970s were the Cleveland Chapter of the Gay Activists Alliance, the Cleveland Gay Polil Unn, the Kent Gay Liberatn Front, and the Gay Cc of Youth Agast War and Fascism.

When this group spun off to bee a service anizatn that clud High Gear, the Gay Hotle, and early piec of the LGBT Center of Greater Cleveland, the Gay Feratn, which later beme the Cleveland Gay Polil Unn (CGPU), was formed. Early on, GEAR anizers knew that orr to tablish a Gay Communy Center they would first need to bee an rporated non-prof anizatn Oh and then, secure feral tax-exempt stat om the IRS.
