Pride Love
Earlier this month, I had the privilege of
going to LA PRIDE’s 2023 music festival in downtown Los Angeles. The event had villages
where you could get food, your face painted, and enjoy many other services
provided. There was an open stage where they played great music and performers
came out to dance.
On the main stage there were amazing performers. From Violet Chachki, King Princess, and to the Queen of Pop herself Mariah Carey. The festival did not disappoint. I forgot the name of the DJ, my apologies, but he kept the party going all day. It was truly a great day!

Headliner: Mariah Carey |
From the moment we arrived at PRIDE to the moment we left, we felt the love around us. You instantly felt heard and accepted, no questions asked. I was in awe of the beautiful people there and their strength. The experience itself left an impact. It is something that I will truly not forget. If you have not yet been to PRIDE, you should make a conscious effort to do so.
It is important
to support the LGBTQ+ community and spread awareness. We need to remain vigilant
in fighting for equality, civil rights, and inclusion of all people. I do not
want to misspeak and apologize if I do. You can support the LGBTQ+ year-round by getting
involved in your local government and help create safe spaces.
