Introduction
The first official Gay Pride Protest in Boston was held on Saturday, June 26, This was a distinctly political event that was preceded by a full week of workshops on various issues affecting the emerging gay community, such as coming out and homosexual spirituality.

The South End neighborhood is the traditional gay center, though gentrification has started to price out many LGBT businesses (which is odd, since gentrification is one of the cardinal gay superpowers).
