Long Beach Pride Pride 2009

Here are some things you may not already know about Long Beach: This city in southern Los Angeles County (just 20 miles south of L.A. proper) has a population of nearly 470,000, making it the 35th-largest city in the nation (bigger than Cleveland, Minnapolis, Tampa, and many others), and the fifth-largest in California (putting it ahead of Fresno, Sacramento, and Oakland). It’s also home to a sizable, dynamic gay and lesbian population, and in 2009 (on the weekend of May 16 and 17), the city celebrates the 26th Long Beach Gay and Lesbian Pride. Organizers claim this two-day event, with its draw of some 80,000 participants and 200 floats in its parade, has become the third-largest such event in America. In other words, GLBT Pride in Long Beach is one of the biggies, and it’s a terrific time to acquaint yourself with a gay-friendly that city that, frankly, doesn’t get as much press as it deserves.
This is how it was.
