Trans Pride LA 2022
On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, June 16–18 the Los Angeles LGBT Center will once again host the annual Trans Pride L.A., one of the nation’s oldest and largest celebrations of the TGI/ENBY+ (Trans, Gender Non-Conforming, Intersex, Non-Binary & Gender Expansive) community. The festivities will take place at the Center’s Village at Ed Gould Plaza and Anita May Rosenstein Campus in Los Angeles. Admission to the three-day gathering is FREE.
“After two years of virtual Trans Pride events, we are looking forward to the return of this joyous event to The Village and Anita May Rosenstein Campus,” said Gina Bigham, the program manager of the Center’s Trans* Lounge and organizer of the event. “These last two years have been extremely hard on our community. As we watch the continued assault on trans rights across the country, we are determined to celebrate and show the world our strength and resilience.”
Trans Pride L.A. begins on Thursday, June 16, 10 a.m.–2 p.m. with a job fair presented by the Center’s Transgender Economic Empowerment Project. On Thursday evening, from 5–6:30 p.m., join our friends from Club Intersex for From Invisible to Inclusion: An intersectional discussion on intersex experiences and issues. This uplifting program brings together a panel of the intersex community’s thought leaders and activists that will highlight each panelist’s unique, intersectional lens.
On Friday evening, for the twelfth consecutive year, Trans Pride L.A. will host the Center’s ongoing community forum series, Big Queer Convo. This year’s special guest is proud Latine/x non-binary/gender fluid actor and activist, Vico Ortiz, from the smash-hit HBO Max series Our Flag Means Death. Vico will be interviewed by actor Shaan Dasani (from the digital comedy series These Thems). Admission to Big Queer Convo is free, but reservations are recommended by registering at lalgbtcenter.org/transpride.
