Friday kicks off Los Angeles Pride weekend in West Hollywood, but some street closures begin as early as Thursday.
This year's L.A. Pride theme is #JustUnite.
Our Radio.com station Channel Q offers a list of Pride events happening around the U.S. You can explore them HERE.
The theme pays homage to the Pride movement’s past activists who paved the way for the rights LGBTQ+ people have today and is a reminder that the fight for equality is a work in progress.
“LA Pride stands humbly on the shoulders of those that have come before us who worked tirelessly for nearly 50 years to create a movement. Our new generation of leadership looks to honor that past and build on the many hard-fought LGBTQ+ civil rights victories. Our multi-generational community is, indeed, stronger together, and this year’s LA Pride celebration draws upon our diverse experiences to ensure that our collective voice is more powerful than ever,” said Estevan Montemayor, President of the CSW Board of Directors.
