Description

Text continues: "Gay pride; It begins with everyone."Red and black text on white paper. There is a photograph of Rita Moreno in the center right of the poster; center left features a note from Moreno that reads: "I was born near a rain forest in Puerto Rico and my mother and I moved to New York City when I was five. I was wide-eyed and stagestruck, and I had a film contract by the time I was 17. But I was typecast as a Latin spitfire in my early roles and had to work very hard to make people see me as a person and a versatile actress. I suppose that's why I feel so strongly that I should defend human rights and why I've always supported my gay friends. I was proud to preform last year in a special benefit, 'A Gay Night at the Bowl' held at the Hollywood Bowl. Gay pride...it begins with each of us." Her signature is under the note. The bottom margin of the poster includes general information about the pride event.
