About this title

Synopsis

The Rise and Fall of Boston Pride delves into the vibrant history of LGBTQ+ activism and community in one of America's most historic cities. From its early roots in the 1970s to becoming a symbol of resilience, visibility, and celebration, this book traces the evolution of Boston Pride and its profound impact on both the city and the national movement for LGBTQ+ rights.

From its inception in 1970 through a series of workshops, the early AIDS epidemic of the 1980's, the St. Patrick's Day parade fight in the 1990s and the shutdown of Boston Pride in 2021 due to activsm against the organization, the book looks into every year of events that Boston Pride has held.

This book represented over two years of research from sources such as the Boston Public Library, the History Project, and two college universities, this is currently the only book that tracks the complete history of Boston Pride.

Through personal stories, pivotal moments from every Pride from 1970-2024, and detailed accounts of activism, The Rise and Fall of Boston Pride highlights the struggles and triumphs that shaped the community. The book explores the intersection of local history with broader social justice movements, showing how Boston became a hub of progressive change. With rich historical context and modern perspectives, it honors the legacy of those who fought for equality while offering a hopeful look at the future. Boston Pride is a must-read for those interested in LGBTQ+ history, civil rights, and Boston's unique place in the fight for inclusion.
