Below, the genesis of Gay Pride Week, 1979

Note that Bagneris was one of the GPW committee members,
and identified as Parade Chair,
and by that time the GPC was endorsing it

In the early years Gay Pride Week was under the aegis of the GPC,

with Greer Price being HGPW chairperson for 1980. Larry was in charge of he Parade
and became overall chairperson for 1981.

Before the next Parade, Larry had moved
back to New Orleans

with running the Parade
taken over by these folks

And, just to keep track, here are

1991, when Jack Valinski took over

It turns out Larry Bagneris has more Houston Pride History.
For 2021 he was chosed as an Honorary Grand Marshal,
Long Overdue

and, due to the pandemic, there was no Parade in 2020 and 2021
So all GMs were honored for the three years in 2022

Below, I'm with Larry at the Grand Marshal Reception on 6/16/22
