It\u2019s official! LA Pride parade canceled, replaced with protest march<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Following a concerted effort by local LGBTQ activists, Los Angeles Pride will take on a decidedly more political atmosphere this year.\n<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe\u2019re doing everything we can to make sure that the people who come to the city, sometimes only once or twice a year, are going to see something familiar [at the pride festival].\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That\u2019s Christopher Street West board president Chris Classen, trying to assure folks at a Wednesday night community meeting\u00a0that this year\u2019s LA Pride in June will still provide\u00a0a satisfying amount of entertainment, despite the major change in theme.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

The annual pride parade has been sidelined altogether to make way for the nationwide LGBT Resist march, scheduled in several U.S. cities for Sunday, June 11th, the day LA Pride usually takes place.\n<\/p>\n

Bound to be much like the vast Women\u2019s March that swept many American cities on January 21st, LA\u2019s Resist march will kick off at Hollywood and Highland and follow a 3.1 mile path to La Brea Avenue, where it will then turn onto Santa Monica Boulevard and end at San Vicente at the entrance of the Pride festival.\n<\/p>\n

Queerty<\/em> spoke with one of the march\u2019s organizers, activist and L.A. Police and Fire pension commissioner Brian Pendleton, shortly after Trump\u2019s inauguration.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cI was seeing all the excitement around what was going on in Washington D.C. regarding their Gay Pride efforts<\/a>,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd coming off of what the Women\u2019s March did around the country, it seemed like a natural fit.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

So far, the march has received over 23K positive responses on Facebook<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

WEHOville<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>reports they\u2019re expecting about \u201c500,000 people\u201d to attend to LA march.\n<\/p>\n

The Pride Festival itself will still be a ticketed event (probably $20 each day), and it\u2019s scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, June 10-11 in West Hollywood Park.\n<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a free trans<\/a> event and a sober area \u00a0on Friday June 9.\n<\/p>\n

The annual Pride parade is expected to return in 2018.<\/p>\n
