CSW/LA Pride celebrates Katherine Johnson for National Women's History Month. As a Black woman, she broke racial and gender barriers in the early days of human spaceflight, and her work as a NASA employee was crucial to the success of the first and following U.S. spaceflights. Johnson's story also became a fixture of pop culture in the feature film Hidden Figures where she was portrayed by Taraji P. Henson.

Fantastic news: The Equality Act has been passed by the House of Representatives with bipartisan support, including protections for LGBTQ+ people on employment, housing, credit, education, public spaces and services, federally funded programs, and jury service. While CSW/LA Pride celebrates this, we know there’s more work to do in order to reach true equity for all members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Today CSW/LA Pride honors Bayard Rustin, a name that was nearly written out of history. Rustin was a LGBTQ and civil rights activist best known for being a key adviser to Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. He organized the 1963 March on Washington and was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, in 2013 for his activism. He will remain legendary for being an indispensable force behind the Civil Rights Movement, while openly (and publicly) gay for most of his life, during times when it was unheard of to do so.

LA Pride / CSW recognizes and commemorates National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NBHAAD) and the lives lost to HIV and AIDS -- as well as those living with HIV and the many agencies and organizations that provide programs, services, care, and treatment to Black and African American communities. LA Pride looks forward to continued ways to support and bring awareness to our communities.
