Daniel J. Gonzalez

Daniel J. Gonzalez (Wheelock’07,’14) of Brockton, Mass., published The Rise and Fall of Boston Pride (Shodan Press, 2025), about the New Boston Pride Committee, a 20-year-old organization responsible for local LGBTQ+ Pride events in the city. Daniel’s research begins at the Stonewall Inn riots in 1969 and moves to Boston Pride’s founding two years later, its reorganization into New Boston Pride, its controversial disbandment in 2021, and the subsequent fallout and attempts to rebuild.
