Pride Month is almost here, meaning there will be parades, marches and other events to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.

Throughout the month, some streets will be closed in and around Los Angeles to accommodate the festivities, including this week in West Hollywood.

WeHo Pride kicks off with “Friday Night at OUTLOUD,” a concert with performances by Kesha, Adam Lambert and additional artists at West Hollywood Park.

The Women’s Freedom Festival and the Dyke March are scheduled for Saturday, with the WeHo Pride Street Fair opening both Saturday and Sunday at noon.

For L.A.’s queer community, competing Pride festivals aren’t about infighting. They’re oases from a nationwide conservative attack on LGBTQ+ rights.
