Happy Pride, friends.

For the last year and a half, it's been such a privilege to write this newsletter and celebrate the people, places, and moments that make LA's queer community so special. In a city as big as LA, Pride is a reminder that queer joy is everywhere, and we’re grateful to share a little of it with you each week.

Now, let's celebrate with a giveaway! Three stages, 20 artists, and one massive celebration. Enter to win a premium LadyLand Festival on 6/27 trip featuring VIP tickets + exclusive swag, a hotel stay at Arlo Williamsburg, and $600 in travel credit. Experience NYC Pride Weekend Under the K Bridge with performances from Kim Petras, Romy, CupcakKe, DJ Gigola, and more LGBTQ+ artists and allies.*
