LA Pride 2019

LA Pride mourns the loss of LA's ground-breaking LGBTQ+ icon, Jewel Thais-Williams.

Our 2016 LA Pride Grand Marshal, Jewel Thais-Williams overcame discrimination at the local gay bars for being Black, and being a woman, by buying her own bar in 1973. Jewel's Catch One soon became the hottest, most inclusive LGBTQ+ club in the nation, welcoming everyone from the Black and Brown trans community, to celebrities like Madonna and Sharon Stone. For the next FIFTY YEARS, Thais-Williams worked as an AIDS activist, especially for HIV+ women, and created the Village Health Foundation to educate lower-income and minority communities on nutrition, diabetes and obesity.

Jewel Thais-Williams was a shining example of what one person can do. Rest in Power, Queen. 🙏 👑 ✨ 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️
