If you live in the Long Beach area, then you already know today is the Long Beach Pride Parade followed by a free concert, DJs and drag show in Bixby Park. As an ally, it is imperative that we show up during this political climate and show our support for the LGBTQIA+ community. We need to show any potential protestors that they are the minority and are not welcome. Have fun and stay safe. Look out for each other and help anyone in need.

Local leaders have deemed the 40th annual Pride parade in Long Beach an essential gesture of protest for LGBTQIA+ rights.

Pride is more than a party for Robert Garcia, the first publicly gay mayor of Long Beach and the first openly gay immigrant to serve in Congress.

With LGBTQ+ rights under attack, Long Beach’s 40th Pride parade is a vital act of protest, local leaders say

“We need to show up more than ever now—we’re being threatened, we’re being shot, they’re trying to take us back, and we’re not gonna do it,” said Tonya Martin, Long Beach Pride’s historian.
