Over the past several years, the Long Beach Lesbian and Gay Pride Celebration has become one of the premiere Pride events nationwide now attracting over 80,000 participants over two days. The Festival Celebration includes seven large dance areas including a main stage which has featured musical artists such as Grammy Award Winner Jennifer Hudson, Maya, and India.Arie.
Sunday is the parade and it’ll be the first one I’ve ever gone too!! Usually, I’ve gone on Saturday and have been too hung over to get up in time for the Parade the next morning. But this year, Remi and I decided to make Sunday the fun day and do it right. We will be there early Sunday morning ready for our first Pride Parade!!!! The only thing left is to figure out a DD for the day because we both plan on partaking in the festivities.
So, who’s going????

ugh…next year when i have a car and some vacation time
sounds like a ton of fun. houston pride is on my birthday, usually..so i celebrate both there ha ha ha
One of these days, I’m going to LA….
(And Long Beach!).
We should have a CCL reunion out here one day!! That would be craaaaaaaazy fun.
that, my dear, sounds like trouble!!! i LOVE it!!!
Oooo! Knowing me, I’d cancel last minute but it does sound fun! Hmmmm.
I need to move to a country that has pride parades!
@Novia, I hear ya.
*sighs wistfully* Oh well, have fun ladies!
@ S. Maschera, yay!company!
Have an awesome parade.
wish i lived in long beach!
I don’t live so far away it would be a huge leap to attend. Am thinking on it. I usually don’t go near Prides. I get the whole show your pride thing, but there is generally too much drama and drunks for my taste. It’s like you see bitch fighting in every nook and cranny. Tears. Screaming. Slobbering. Don’t let me rain on your rainbow parade, though. Hope you have a wonderful time, and not an encore of last year.
Rexie …. We still haven’t figured out if we’re going for sure. Tonight, Queen Latifa is playing and for some reason, I sort of want to see that! Lol.
On the other hand, there are way too many people I don’t want to see, which basically guarantees that we run smack dab into them. I hate confrontations at pride but it happens EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
And yes, there is always crying at some point in the weekend. Lol.
The more I talk about it, the less brave I’m getting.
Jumping up and down – “CCL reunion” yeah I’ll be there with (to ” ” my dad, “Your dog is crazy, she’s got some not all there issues.” lol) my dog.
