| Additional Information | The 1998 Chicago Pride Parade commemorated the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York. It was the 28th Annual Chicago Pride celebration and the largest Pride Parade in its history. The parade’s aims were community engagement, empowerment, and acceptance rather than petitioning for specific LGBTQ2+ rights and issues. The parade focused on showing the diverse Chicago queer community with lawyers, doctors, and 50+ politicians in participation, floats from Chicago Leather groups and Drag Queens, and many LGBTQ2+ allies with floats, signs, and literature. 1998 Pride celebrations in San Diego and Atlanta also sported merchandise with the slogan “Unity in Diversity”. |
