2026 Pride Inspo
Since 2023 local LGBTQIA+ leaders and their allies have been weathering the national LGBT backlash here in Glendale. Historically the focus has been towards the visible people on the front line and this has played out to seem there are a handful of queer discontents in Glendale and no more.
Our events for this year's Pride were inspired by this guy, Eric Adamian (IG @ericsemiauto), specifically this comment at a 2024 city council meeting.
In it, Eric beautifully lays out the ignorance in action to legitimize quelling LGBTQIA+ existence in Glendale. Eric is OK with LGBT people, so long as they stay in their place and play the roles he and his peers have approved for them.
In Glendale, the LGBTQIA+ community isn't a handful of malcontents and their allies; it's families, kids, neighbors, educators, students, and the people who work here and visit here and spend money here. This Pride season, we pay homage to the breadth of our queer community.
