Today we remember what happened at the Stonewall Inn in NYC as "Pride day", but you might also remember brendahoward, "Mother of Pride" and bisexual activist, who coordinated the first month anniversary rally and then the "Christopher Street Gay Liberation Day March" on June 28, 1970 to commemorate the first year anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion.
She passed away 11 year ago today, from Colon cancer.
