For the last 36 years, the day has been observed annually and serves as a celebration of coming out to loved ones as well as a campaign to raise awareness around LGBTQ+ civil rights issues still prevalent across the country. As of this month, a record 530 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced in state houses around the U.S., more than in the last five years combined. In the face of these harmful actions - including LGBTQ+ erasure bills that strip away legal protections and rights - the City of Los Angeles will reaffirm its commitment to fully recognizing the LGBTQ+ community and ensuring people feel seen and safe no matter who they choose to love. **The Los Angeles City Council will vote to adopt a resolution declaring the city holiday with a presentation at City Hall on Friday, October 11th at 10am**, and is thrilled to do so with two important partners, The Black Cat and BabyGay.

Just two months later, the venue was targeted in the notorious 1967 New Year’s Eve police raid that exposed brutal violence against patrons and widespread discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community. In the wake of these unjust events, hundreds congregated in protest outside the venue, marking The Black Cat as a rallying point for activism. This pivotal establishment, predating Stonewall, remains a symbol of resilience and progress in the ongoing struggle for LGBTQ+ rights, and in 2022, was designated by the state of California as a Historical Landmark.

Since its launch at the LA LGBT Center, BabyGay has evolved into a larger platform, partnering with organizations like the LA City Council, The Black Cat, and the AT Center to create impactful events. The organization has also participated in numerous Pride Festivals, including LA Pride, SD Pride, SaMo Pride, Venice Pride, and more, amplifying queer voices and creating spaces for connection and celebration. At the heart of BabyGay's mission is the belief that while coming out is tough, it doesn't need to be so lonely. The organization curates community events featuring performances from queer artists, storytellers, and comedians, all aimed at helping newly out individuals, or "BabyGays," find acceptance and healing through levity and shared experiences. One of BabyGay's most innovative initiatives is the Welcome-Wagon Box, an essential kit for those just coming out, which includes handwritten postcards of support from community members.

Each year the route varies slightly to see more of our beautiful city from outside the confines of a car. For 2024 we’ll be going back over the spectacular 6th Street Viaduct, one of LA’s most celebrated and iconic landmarks. We will also travel a bit farther into Boyle Heights along E Cesar Chavez Ave. We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Metro and LADOT for this 56th CicLAvia, the 14th Heart of LA (HOLA) route.LA.” Inspired by Bogotá’s weekly ciclovía, CicLAvia has been temporarily closing streets to car traffic and opening them as public parks in Los Angeles since 2010.

It deteriorates a person’s physical and mental abilities during their prime working years and has no cure. Every child of a parent with HD has a 50/50 chance of inheriting the faulty gene. Today, there are approximately 41,000 symptomatic Americans and more than 200,000 at-risk of inheriting the disease. The symptoms of HD are described as having ALS, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s – simultaneously. The Huntington’s Disease Society of America is the premier nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of everyone affected by HD. From community services and education to advocacy and research, HDSA is the world’s leader in providing help for today and hope for tomorrow for people with HD and their families. HDSA was founded in 1967 by Marjorie Guthrie, the wife of legendary folk singer Woody Guthrie. Woody died from HD complications when he was only 55 years old, but the Guthrie family legacy lives on at HDSA to this day.
