June is Pride Month. Meet the pioneers responsible for early Portland Pride events.
June is Pride Month, and usually, Portland celebrates with a waterfront celebration and parade.

During the filming of Oregon Experience’s “Darcelle XV,” Producer Kami Horton met with some of the pioneers responsible for those early Portland Pride events.
