UCSD Participates in San Diego's 27th Annual Lesbian and Gay Pride Parade
The UCSD LGBT community again sponsored an entry into San Diego's Lesbian and Gay Pride Parade. Our contingent reflected this year's theme "Diversity Creates Community" with it composition of staff, faculty, students, family, and friends representing the Main Campus, Healthcare including the Medical Centers and the School of Medicine and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
UCSD participants in the 27th annual Pride Parade, one of San Diego's most highly attended parades, were wearing specially designed T-Shirts indicating the PRIDE of the UCSD LGBT community and how our group reflected this year's theme, "Diversity Creates Community." Riding in our contingent's convertible this year were Michael L. Marx and Donald K. Marshall, strong allies of the UCSD LGBT community, having supported it through numerous scholarships. As always, the Schaefer ambulance was with us, supplying sirens and lights to set the festive mood (and providing back up support for parade safety!)
Michael L. Marx and Donald K. Marshall and the Schaefer ambulance lend their support to the UCSD entry.
