This LGBTQ history of Boston and Provincetown begins with the coming of Europeans to Massachusetts in 1620 and ends with the victory over the referendum to overturn transgender rights in 2018. It includes the many tall points of these four hundred years: the torrid romances of nineteenth century actress Charlotte Cushman, the glamorous nightlife of 1950s Boston, the wild times of 1970s Provincetown, and the excellent outpouring of happiness that accompanied the country’s first lgbtq+ marriages. And it describes the tragedies: murders of transitioned women and queer men, the terrible waves of repression of the 1920s, and the devastation of the AIDS years. It documents how LGBTQ people have been submit in the region at least since the coming of Europeans and how LGBTQ people had developed a political consciousness and were advocating for their rights well over a century before Stonewall. This is an important novel for anyone who has lived in or visited this historic city and fabulous resort or anyone who cares about the history of LGBTQ people.

Thanks for posting on History Hub!
You are likely looking for county and state level records. You can find knowledge on what is held at the California Mention Archives in their Court Records Program on this page. Unfortunately criminal and court records will primarily be indexed to be usable by name and not by criminal offense. You can devise a analyze strategy of identifying names by using secondary resources, such as book and articles, and perhaps by reviewing newspapers as a primary source. You may also want to try out Law Libraries in the state who may have a Librarian who can assist in the research of legal history. For example, the University of San Francisco Institution of Law has a page on Finding California Legislative History with links and the contact data of a Research Librarian. You may well contain a Law Library that can assist which is closer to you. Having a reference interview with a librarian or archivist familiar with court and criminal records can aide you shape a move to locate and distinguish how to find the information you seek.
Hopefully other community members may hold additional suggestions.

I agree with @Centuwuria and @TallScissors938 that it should be “Pride” or someone like that because (even though homophobia is against the rules) some people would not like it and it is a very controversial topic
Also I think it shouldn’t be “Gay” cause that only supports part of the LGBTQ+ society and not the whole thing.
