We asked #LGBTQ people across the community what it means to #ThriveWithPride. Here’s how our Treasurer @garthdotgerald defines it for himself:
-
“Thriving with Pride to me means living authentically and fully, that is, being able to bring all of the levels and layers of who I am to life unapologetically and freely.”
-
“Thriving with Pride is being able to stand proudly on the shoulders of those who came before us while embodying the dream of what’s to come.”

Take a moment to learn more about the why behind Pride 📙 Did you know the first organized Pride Parade was here in Los Angeles?
-
Half a century ago, there were Pride marches all over the country to honor the Stonewall uprising the year before. But LA was home to the first Pride Parade.
-
What’s the difference between a march and a parade? A march is a constitutional right to assemble. A parade on the other hand, is an assembly that requires all sorts of government regulation. So much regulation and hoops in fact, that the parade almost didn’t happen due to LAPD pushing back at every turn.
-
Ultimately, the American Civil Liberties Union got involved and argued effectively on behalf of Christopher Street West, and secured support from the judge. The win enabled CSW to hold the first permitted Pride Parade in the world, a historic triumph for LGBTQ+ visibility and civil rights.
-
So as you celebrate Pride this year, don’t forget that we can #ThriveWithPride today thanks to those who fought for us in the past. ❤️🏳️‍🌈 #LAPride
