Nicole Murray-Ramirez, a longtime activist who is among the pioneers who fought for LGBT rights and a Pride celebration in San Diego 40 years ago, called Wednesday an "important day for us in the LGBT community in San Diego and our relationship with the San Diego Police Department.”“This sign means that any San Diegan facing a hate crime or harassment can come into our LGBT bars and businesses and we will help and protect you from hate and violence because for us in the LGBT community, a hate crime against one of us is indeed a hate crime against all of us," Murray-Ramirez said..
