SF Gay Parade 1985

[@patriciarouse2801]

Looking back the revolution of Gay Pride is a joy in the world . Got to revolution . Peace on earth. And Party on... I am proud of my Gay 🌈 relations . Proud of all the sons, daughters uncles and aunts sisters and brothers mothers and fathers who are honest and and beautiful just as they were made. Amazing Grace . Thank you Gay Pride for your joyous spirit. An honest world is a better world.

This is an amazing historical document! The parade is so beautiful and the people attending it seem to be having the time of their lives, but there's a bittersweet feeling to this footage. Many of those marching, as well as probably hundreds in the crowd, have been dead for decades now. People from my generation should read more about how harsh the effects of AIDS were. And I had no idea that Brazilian Carnival was already popular in other countries in the 80s

Glad you enjoyed the video. The Mission District in SF hold a yearly Carnival celebration that is very popular since it started in 1979.

Brings back memories. My first Pride parade was in San Francisco in 1990. I came out in 1983, but had never been to a Gay Pride before. Seeing the hundreds of thousands that lined the streets and had no idea that so many participated.

Les gay prides dans les années 80 étaient très festives et joyeuses ,les badauds et les curieux participaient à l"événement qui devient par la suite une culture intégrante de San Francisco ,aujourd'hui tout se passe dans le calme et on comprend ,avec la montée des partis politique de l'extrême droite,les néo-nazis ,l'homophobie et la haine contre cette communauté ne peuvent entraver notre combat.Grand respect à vous dear Michael Siebielec.

Je suis heureux que vous ayez apprécié la vidéo. San Francisco et surtout le quartier de Castro était vraiment magique dans les années 80. Malheureusement, les loyers sont élevés et ont vraiment changé la ville. Malheureusement, la lutte pour nos droits se poursuit alors que les fascistes de droite américains travaillent sans relâche pour nous retirer les droits que nous avons gagnés et que nous pensions en sécurité.

I bet one could still afford to live in SF back then.

[@michaelsiebielec5554]

Those days are long gone, pretty much anywhere today.

I would respect these type of lgbtq people No disrespecting No mocking any religions No wearing girls cloths Just a normal gay person

[@michaelsiebielec5554]

The "gay" issue has been turned into the trans issue and has overall hurt the movement. It should be considered a different issue entirely.

[@TlalocChaak]

woooo, geniales videos, muchas gracias por compartir.

[@michaelsiebielec5554]

Glad you enjoyed it.

Good memories of what gay life was like during that Era in San Francisco but my question is: How many of these people are still with us ? AIDS wrecked havoc on gay men during that time period. I feel blessed that I survived that time period. In brotherhood.

[@michaelsiebielec5554]

Very few of my friends from that period made it and that's why I feel sharing our pictures, videos and memories are important.

[@truthwins221]

Wow. So tame. People were so well behaved by comparison 😳

[@garyshoulders7133]

Happy Pride 2021 from San Francisco, California. - Love THIS....#ilovemysf

[@adamson786bi3]

Shocking to realise that everyone is literally white,.. No blacks and foreign looking people. I say this as a Pakistani person, not racist just a realisation.

[@mingming-gi4de]

Counted multiple POC less than a minute in. Shut up please.

[@michaelsiebielec5554]

Well if this was an event in Pakistan I would expect to see mostly Pakistanis. 😃

[@shibrina603]

Because back then most Blacks were still in closet.
