Seattle Pride and Kontent Partners partnered together to produce a short film commemorating the 40th anniversary of Pride in Seattle. The film outlines the beginnings of Pride Week in 1974 as well as the lasting change it created featuring interviews with the original organizers and participants of that event: David Neth, Bruce Paris, Tom Hubbard and Patrick Haggerty of Lavender Country. Contemporary members of the LGTBQ community like Mayor Ed Murray, Council Member Sally J. Clark, Jinkx Monsoon, and George Bakan touch on the struggles and successes in Seattle’s LGBTQ community and weigh in on the continued importance of Seattle Pride as the city and LGBTQ community continue to change.
