Ahead of this weekend's Pride parade, officials gathered Friday to break ground on a new visitors center dedicated to celebrating and sharing LGBTQ history.

It's being built at the exact site that sparked the gay rights movement, CBS2's Natalie Duddridge reported.

"I think it's really important to this specific location that we are honoring the lineage of the queer folk that came before us," said Peter Elizalder, a gay rights advocate.
