Judy Reagan presides at Gay Pride Day: 1981

"Judy Reagan, a D.C.-based lesbian folksinger, presides a the 12th Annual Gay Pride Day at P Street Beach in Northwest June 21, 1981.

Gay Pride Day capped a week of events that included a march from Malcolm X Park on 16th Street NW to Francis Junior High at 24th and N Streets NW.

About 11,000 people took part in the 12th annual event according to the Washington Post in a festive occasion that involved music, food and booths selling goods.

However, a pall was cast over the event by an incident a week before when two men threw tear gas into Equus, a southeast Washington bar catering to LGBT people.

A number of local political figures made the customary rounds including Marion Barry, David A. Clarke, Sterling Tucker, Betty Anne Kane and Hilda Mason.

Reagan was an early lesbian troubadour who mostly sang songs with lesbian themes. The album notes and lyrics to her first album “Old Friends” that featured “Hollywood Haircut”—a song about lesbians in the 1950s and 60s—and “Dyke” a hard-hitting tune."
