LGBTQI Hate Illinois Nazis
June 28, 2018 8:06 AM Subscribe
Pink Triangles Rising (yt link) is a short 1983 documentary by Dan Dinello and Tom Corboy about the 1982 Chicago Pride Parade, which saw its attendance surge from past events fueled by queer people and allies showing up to counter the Nazi rally being held near the parade route.
Come for the horrible Nazis being countered by queers and organized labor; stay for the post-march dance montage set to ABC's "The Look of Love."
(The film was recently relesaed through by Media Burn Archive, a non-profit that "collects, restores and distributes documentary video and television created by artists, activists and community groups" and discovered by me via an article in Block Club Chicago, a crowd-funded independent media outlet providing Chicago neighborhood news coverage.)

This is a great little film, thank you.
It was a blast from the past to see a pride parade before the rainbow flag became popular.
