Photos: Los Angeles Pride Parade 2022
The Los Angeles Pride Parade made its grand return today, and thousands of attendees couldn’t wait to celebrate with each other.
Presented by TikTok, the parade featured Sir Lady Java, Mark Indelicato, and Paula Abdul as the grand marshals. A handful of celebrities came to celebrate with everyone, including WWE Superstar Sonya Deville, the cast of Peacock’s Queer As Folk reboot, and influencer Joshua Specks. For this year’s parade, organizers swap its usual West Hollywood route for one in Hollywood. Earlier this year, Gerald Garth, vice president of Christopher Street West programs and initiatives said this about the change:
“We considered many options for the parade, both traditional and progressive. Hollywood as the original historical location for the first Los Angeles protest 50 years ago was a natural choice to honor what Pride really means and where Pride will go in the future. We are continuing to work closely with the city and community stakeholders to confirm additional details that we look forward to sharing very soon.”
