San Diego LGBT Pride honors two longtime "Inspiration Couples" during this year's Pride celebration.

Two 'Inspirational Couples' Honored by San Diego Pride San Diego Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride has announced this year's "inspirational couples," an annual tradition that pays tribute to longtime partnered members of the LGBT community. The 2009 honorees, a female couple and a male couple, each became legally married last year during the short period of time when same-sex marriage was permitted in the state of California.

San Diego Pride will honor them in its mile-long parade, scheduled for 11 a.m., July 18, through the heart of Hillcrest. Pride's inspirational couples reflect the many fulfilling partnerships that exist throughout the LGBT community and they cast a human light on achieving full equality for all people. The honor is an inspirational show of support for the scores of committed and dedicated couples within the LGBT community.
