GAYLIFE LA PRIDE ISSUE SUMMER <strong>2018</strong><br />

2010<br />

AND<br />

BEYOND<br />

This decade got off to a trailblazing start. In 2010, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio<br />

Villaraigosa opened the doors to the Getty House, the official mayor’s residence,<br />

for the first-ever LA <strong>Pride</strong> Garden Party. Then, in 2011, he declared June as LGBT<br />

Heritage Month in the city of Los Angeles, an enormous milestone. That year, the<br />

<strong>Pride</strong> parade also included more than 350 students from the Los Angeles Unified<br />

School District, the largest youth group contingent ever.<br />

The replacement of the <strong>Pride</strong> parade in 2017 by the Resist March was mourned by<br />

many, who are likely to be excited to find the parade back this year.
