             LOS ANGELES GAY AND LESBIAN PRIDE CELEBRATION

                                 ______


                          HON. HENRY A. WAXMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 12, 1994

  Mr. WAXMAN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring to the attention of my 
colleagues the 24th annual Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Pride 
Celebration, which will be held on June 12, 1994.
  The theme of this year's parade, ``Stonewall 25--a Global 
Celebration,'' marks the historic Stonewall Rebellion that ignited the 
gay liberation movement 25 years ago in Greenwich Village. Christopher 
Street West, an organization that reflects the values that led to this 
uprising, is the sponsor of the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Pride 
Celebration. Five-hundred thousand individuals are expected to 
participate.
  As a strong supporter of equal rights for all Americans and the 
sponsor of H.R. 431, which would prohibit discrimination against gays 
and lesbians, I pledge to continue to do all I can to eliminate 
discrimination based on sexual orientation.
