In the summer of 1992, grunge was exploding, acts like Whitney Houston, Boyz II Men, Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey had the pop world in a headlock, we were on the cusp of the Bill Clinton years and the big club hit was “Rhythm is a Dancer” by Snap. Is it all coming back to you? Good. Anyway, Philly Pride celebrated its fourth year in 1992 and, lest we forget how far things have come for the LGBT community in the last 20 years, here are a few interesting and telling facts about the times that year. 1. The kissing booth was temporarily shut down by Penn’s Landing officials — despite the fact that dental dams were on hand — who cited the risk of spreading disease (read: HIV) as the reason. 2. The “T” in LGBT was missing back in 1992, as the banners only included lesbians, gay and bisexuals. 3. Medical professionals in the ambulance hired to follow the parade in case of medical emergencies felt it necessary to put a sign in the passenger and driver’s-side windows that stated “We’re Straight,” in response to being hit on by male Pride participants. The EMTs were later suspended. PGN file photos
