A major building block in the GLBT History of Houston began in response to the "singing orange juice lady", Anita Bryant.

In 1977 Anita Bryant was to appear in Houston, Texas for a singing engagement. Having previously demonstrated her disapproval of homosexuals, thousands of protestors took to the streets and began a march which has grown into what is now Houston's Pride Parade.
