First gay pride parade long beach
“We changed the date of the Festival and Parade to be able to enjoy the incredible setting that we have historically used with warmer weather and longer days,” Martinez said in a press release. The Long Beach Pride Parade & Festival will return from July 8 to 10 - rather than in May, has it usually is - after a two-year pandemic-related hiatus, LB Pride President Elsa Martinez said. What’s the story with Disney’s own government in Florida? “We are continuing to work closely with the city and community stakeholders,” Garth added, “to confirm additional details that we look forward to sharing very soon.” “Hollywood as the original historical location for the first Los Angeles protest 50 years ago was a natural choice to honor what Pride really means and where Pride will go in the future.” “We considered many options for the parade, both traditional and progressive,” Garth said. The parade route, time and location will be released soon, CSW said.ĬSW has a commitment to equity that includes a focus on generational, experiential and geographic diversity, the organization said in a statement, that will live beyond solely the month of June and into the year following. Considering feedback gathered since the pandemic began, we are committed to creating experiences and access to our entire community, including many of those who have been most underserved and underrepresented.” “As a mission-driven and community-centered non-profit organization, CSW recognizes that LGBTQ+ experiences of Los Angeles are broader than just one neighborhood. “LA Pride is thrilled to come together this year to commemorate the historic anniversary at the parade’s first and original location,” Gerald Garth, vice president of programs and initiatives, said in a statement.
