Los Angeles marked Pride with a #ResistMarch through the city streets

Thousands of Angelenos took to the streets of Hollywood and West Hollywood on Sunday in solidarity with the vibrant LGBTQ+ community of the city.

Instead of the usual float-filled parade, though, the LA Pride event aligned with the #ResistMarch. The protest sought to protect the inclusive, human rights progress that has been made these last couple years—and now faces political threats. 

Several iconic personalities showed up to speak and march with the crowd, including RuPaul and Bamby Salcedo. The theme was love, diversity, and equality as participants exercised their rights to protest peacefully throughout the day. The drinking and partying still went on at the bars afterwards. After all, what better way to show your Pride than by partying it up with your best friends? Here are some of our favorite photos from the event.
