My Hollywood Pride: Pride Starts Here!
My Hollywood Pride developed as the result of advocacy by the Hollywood LGBTQ+ Council on behalf of the voices, perspectives and presence of LGBTQ+ residents in the Greater Hollywood area to build a more diverse and inclusive community. The Council was founded in 2019 by Hollywood residents, and continues to be a leading advocacy group, representing over 700 members.
In 2022, members of the Hollywood LGBTQ+ Council successfully produced the Inaugural My Hollywood Pride, which was held on January 22nd, 2022. The success of the event lead to the incorporation of My Hollywood Pride, Inc. later that year to take over the role of producing this annual event. The Hollywood LGBTQ+ Council continues to be an important sponsor of My Hollywood Pride.
Since the inaugural “My Hollywood Pride” and our return in 2023, My Hollywood Pride has been a tremendous success. In 2023 we doubled our attendance and continued to lean into the ways in which My Hollywood Pride is different from most any other Pride. On Sunday, January 28th, 2024 we will be back on Hollywood Boulevard to greet you for the third edition of this annual tradition of inclusion. Because My Hollywood Pride is the first Pride anywhere in the world each year, we have chosen the theme “Pride Starts Here!” to guide us for 2024. Over the last couple of years, Florida has been a leader in anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, and as a result LGBTQ+ people, especially our youth, are the target of unfair and unequal treatment. LGBTQ+ people have long created their own chosen families in the face of adversity and marginalization. With that in mind, we are inviting you to join us as though we were welcoming you back to our home, and to remind everyone that we are stronger together.
Our mission is to provide a space where everyone is welcome, and where you can feel proud to be who you are. And it is in that space where we can laugh, dance, and learn together. In 2024, we will continue to provide a place for kids, youth, and families to come together, and also be a place that invites everyone in to learn more about LGBTQ+ Art and Culture, and where you can be celebrated.
