You did a great job of addressing what went on leading up to the 1979 March. The information was interesting to hear. I wasn't at this March, but started to come out while married in 1980, founded a FrontRunners group in Tucson, Arizona in 1983 supportive of LGBT runners, served as the first openly gay member of a delegation from Arizona to the Democratic National Convention in 1984, helped to open the first free and anonymous HTLVIII antibody testing site in Maricopa County, AZ in 1985, attended the October 11, 1987 March on Washington, founded and directed a bilingual, multiple site HIV antibody testing and education site in the South Bay of Los Angeles County in 1987 and an AIDS Consortium there in 1989. Nice to see someone preserving the stories of our past. Thanks for your efforts.

That's really awesome, sounds like you've had a really accomplished career! As a fellow college runner myself, I think its really cool you started FrontRunners too, would you have any interest coming on our channel for an interview?

Accurate and nicely done. The only error was in the route of the march. It was Pennsylvania, not Philadelphia Avenue. Also, the endorsements from national organizations came late. Many opposed the march for a good while.

It's crazy. I didn't even know that this happened. I feel like this should be taught more consistently in schools.

I agree, I'm definitely planning to highlight more events in LGBTQ history on this channel in the future as well! :)

Thank you for this!! I’m trying to find more information about the first march outside of Wikipedia but it’s proven almost impossible. i appreciate you summarizing it :)
