While Pride Month has passed, our commitment to supporting and uplifting LA County's LGBTQIA+ community remains all year long, 24/7. It's important to remember that allyship and support do not end with June.
June is Pride Month, a time dedicated to honoring and supporting the LGBTQIA+ community. As we near the end of this celebratory month, it's important to remember that allyship and support do not end with June. Every day presents an opportunity to uplift our diverse LA County community and protect its most vulnerable members. Organizations like the Los Angeles LGBT Center provide essential services ranging from healthcare to advocacy. The Trevor Project stands as a lifeline for LGBTQ youth in crisis, while PFLAG Los Angeles offers support and education for LGBTQ individuals and their families. The TransLatina Coalition specifically advocates for the rights and well-being of transgender Latinas. For those needing additional assistance navigating LA County's services, 211 LA offers 24/7 support.
