Pride was a welcoming weekend for many who came to West Hollywood to share our sense of community. Pride was the day we all undressed and wore our hearts on our sleeves. It was a celebration of who we are, what we struggle with and how we have united as one family under the rainbow. In the early days of West Hollywood, Pride was more than a community event. Even our city flag is embedded with the rainbow symbol, which says to all: “You’re welcome here.” The most important event each year that reflects our core values is the annual LA Pride Parade and Festival. Our core values reflect our community’s respect for diversity and inclusion. Today, 32 years after our founding, West Hollywood still boasts an LGBT population close to 50% of its residents. The City of West Hollywood was founded in 1984 with the first majority gay city council in the world. (Photo by Derek Wear, Unikorn Photography) Young woman wrapped in the colors of Pride.
