Marsha H. Levine is an LGBTQI+ activist and Pride movement organizer.
She is the founder of InterPride and active in leading other organizations related to LGBTQI+ Pride events since 1980. She served as San Francisco's Pride Parade Manager for 18 years.[1]
Marsha was born in Washington, D.C., and spent the first 6 years of her life growing up in Virginia before her family relocated to Newton, Massachusetts. When she was about 12-years-old, they moved to Greenwich, Connecticut. In 1968, as the war in Vietnam waged and unrest grew on national college campuses, so did her awareness of human and civil rights issues. This continued through her early college years, up until she joined the Boston Lesbian/Gay Pride Committee (having returned to Massachusetts) in 1980, and now focused on LGBTQI+ rights, she became their president in 1982.[2]
