We’re in our countdown era 📆 June is coming up quick, and this year we’re celebrating the power and resilience of Pride! We draw power from our Pride and each other as we support one another, especially our drag, trans, and youth communities. 🏳️‍🌈

“Power means the ability to live authentically,” said LA Pride board president Gerald Garth. “The LGBTQIA+ community has long been united by the very same attribute that makes us unique, and that is what ‘Power in Pride’ reflects. In an especially contentious election year and time where we continue to face anti-LGBTQ legislation at the local and national levels, it’s an important reminder that by coming together, we can foster power and uplift the community through advocacy and celebration.”
