Take a look back at the history of the L.A. pride parade, as captured in the pages of The Times:
But in 1979, it moved to West Hollywood, which had a large and growing gay population.
"I think it's a great day, I feel good I am still here," said Paul Duncan, who was undergoing treatment for AIDS."To me, the parade is a celebration of pride, a day I don't have to worry about AIDS." A character called"Kaptain Condom," dressed in a red-white-and-blue superhero suit, also was cheered as he cruised by the grandstand on an old military tank decorated with balloons and streamers. Not far behind were the West Hollywood High Cheerleaders, a group of female impersonators sporting pompoms, false breasts, wigs and mustaches.
"Hotels are booming and the range of entertainment is expanding," Heilman said as he wheeled down the Sunset Strip."Things have changed for the better. We are so fortunate and blessed. When we first became a city, it was pretty dead." The politics of sexual orientation seem to catch the public's eye, even though the desire for strict rent controls is what galvanized the voters to push for local control in this wildly diverse, renter-dominated city of 37,000.
