For five decades, San Diego has been celebrating Pride. CBS 8 archives show it has evolved from a handful of people to hundreds of thousands of LGBTQ+ Community members and allies supporting gay and transgender rights. “It was a handful of folks who had gone down. The city asked for a permit, been told no, and they got together there. The records really vary between a couple dozen to a couple 100,” said Jen LeBarbera, Pride Interim Co-Executive Director. Today there are 300 contingents in the San Diego Pride parade and 10,000 or more people who are marching in the parade on Saturday, July 20 in Hillcrest.
