And that was especially evident in 2021, Phoenix Pride celebrated “40 Years of Fortitude," with a respectful nod to those who took a stand for equal rights over the years.
“Our government leaders are so supportive of LGBTQ+ issues, and that’s important,” says Fornelli, adding that both a rainbow and transgender flag flew from the state Capitol and from city hall, commemorating the 50th anniversary of Stonewall and the 20th anniversary of the transgender pride flag, which was created in Phoenix.
Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego made a proclamation in 2019 for each milestone anniversary, asking residents to remember and recognize the impact they had on our LGBTQ+ community.

“The past four decades of history have carried our community further than many imagined could be possible ... We have come a long way from that first march to the Arizona Capitol that became the genesis of Phoenix Pride, and I think that those who were there would indeed be proud of how far we have come – and of the fact that we continue forward in our efforts to secure equity for everyone in our community and beyond."
As you might imagine, Phoenix has transformed considerably throughout the past four decades.
