Note From Adam - June 2022

To Our Valued Tourism Partners,
Here in Los Angeles, everyone is welcome.
To me, that phrase captures the essence of what makes our community so unique and special. Our diversity and inclusiveness are among our greatest strengths, allowing Angelenos to be their truest selves, and we're all the richer for it.
In that spirt, we celebrate Pride Month to honor our LGBTQ+ community, including the countless fearless leaders whose groundbreaking contributions to social justice and the fabric of our City of Angels are undeniable.
In fact, did you know that the first-ever PRIDE parade took place in Los Angeles over five decades ago in 1970? Later this month, we're excited to welcome the original, official Pride parade of LA back to Hollywood and our City of Angels! Join me in celebrating at LA Pride’s line-up of special events, including LA Pride in the Park with Headliner Christina Aguilera on June 11th, the LA Pride Parade on June 12th, and the epic after-party at Universal Studios, Pride is Universal, on June 24th!
As you celebrate LA Pride - while we remember that there is still work to do - we know that, ultimately, love wins.
All My Best,
Adam Burke
President/CEO
Los Angeles Tourism
