How Philadelphia trailblazers are making a difference in the LGBTQ community | Generations of Pride

Описание: CBS News Philadelphia is proud to showcase LGBTQ people in our community who are making a difference: past, present and future.

Our special, Generations of Pride, includes a visit to Philadelphia's Gayborhood where you'll find some LGBTQ community pillars like Giovanni's Room - the oldest continually gay-operated bookstore and travel to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware and see how it has become a mecca for the gay community.

Meet the couple responsible for some of Philly staples like Bud & Marilyn's, Barbuzzo and Open House and get to know Sapphira Cristál - the Philly drag queen who put the City of Brotherly Love in the national spotlight during season 16 of RuPaul's Drag Race.

See how Pride shines throughout our neighborhoods. See more Pride content at CBSPhiladelphia.com/Pride
