On
Sunday, June 28, 1970, the one-year
anniversary of the riots, the Gay
Liberation Front organized a march,
coordinated by Brenda Howard, from
Greenwich Village to Central Park
in New York City in commemoration
of the Stonewall riots. On the same
weekend gay activist groups on the
West Coast of the United States held
a march in Los Angeles and a march
and 'Gay-in' in San Francisco. The
first marches were both serious and
fun, and served to inspire the widening
activist movement; they were repeated
in the following years, and more and
more annual marches started up in
other cities throughout the world.
