The name of the organization was officially changed to 'The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Committee' in 1993, one of the first pride event organizations to add bisexual and transgender to its name. The 1990s saw expansion of Twin Cities Pride activities, including vendor stalls and non-profit booths. In 1983, the two events reunified to form Lesbian and Gay Pride.
The name was changed to 'Lesbian-Gay Pride' in 1981, but changed back to 'Gay Pride' the next year after an alternative Lesbian Pride event took place in Powderhorn Park. 1974's pride event included the first transgender speaker. In 1973 pride events in Minnesota consisted of a 'Gay Pride Week' including a picnic, a march, a dance, a softball game, and canoeing, featuring 150 attendees. The progenitor to the Twin Cities Pride Parade was a 50-person protest march in 1972 on the Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis, held on the third anniversary of the Stonewall riots.
