In the following years, an event was held annually in June, with the parade route changing from year to year. That evening a dance was held at the Unitarian Church. The queer streetcar traveled from Market Square, through Castle Shannon, Dormont, Beechview and back to downtown. The day before, Gay Alternatives Pittsburgh (GAP) chartered a local streetcar. About 150 marchers trekked uphill from Market Square to Flagstaff Hill in Oakland. Pittsburgh’s first Pride Parade occurred on Jonly four years after the Stonewall riots in New York City.
