Just another failure in the long string of failures that THIS pride committee has fux0red up once again. From child rapists like Prince Guy being on the board previously, to no real headliners, to the total commercialization of the festival to this incompetent screw up on the permits. Time to find new organizers and get our PRIDE BACK!

Long Beach Pride is deeply disappointed by the City’s decision to cancel the Long Beach Pride Festival, a long-standing community institution built by volunteers, sustained by love, and rooted in the belief that every person deserves to live openly, safely, and with dignity.

For more than four decades, Long Beach Pride has stood as a symbol of visibility, resilience, and belonging. Founded by community members who understood the urgent need for LGBTQ+ representation and solidarity, Long Beach Pride has grown into one of California’s most significant Pride celebrations. Today, it remains a 100% volunteer-run organization powered by people who give their time, labor, and heart to create a safe and affirming space for LGBTQ+ people, families, youth, elders, allies, and the broader Long Beach community.

This decision comes at a moment when LGBTQ+ people are facing escalating attacks from the current federal administration and from political forces across the country. At a time when our community is being targeted and made vulnerable, Long Beach should be doing more to protect and uplift us, not taking away one of the most visible and meaningful expressions of inclusion our city has.

Long Beach has proudly held itself out as a national leader on LGBTQ+ equality. That promise must mean something in moments of pressure. Inclusion is not proven when it is easy. It is proven when leaders choose to stand with vulnerable communities when they need support the most.

Canceling Pride sends the wrong message. It tells LGBTQ+ residents, workers, students, small business owners, artists, families, visitors, and allies that their safety, visibility, and celebration are negotiable. It undermines decades of volunteer work and community trust. And it weakens the very values Long Beach claims to champion.

We call on the City of Long Beach to immediately engage in good faith with Long Beach Pride, community leaders, public safety partners, and elected officials to identify a path forward that preserves the festival and protects the community. We call on our Mayor Rex Richardson and the city council members to make the Pride Festival happen. We ask that our city leaders stand with

This is why I choose to live in California. This is why I'm proud to have voted for this man and I'll continue to vote for this man no matter what! Gavin Newsom is the reason Gay Marriage was legalized. His decision to stand up for LGBTQ+ rights when he was the mayor of San Francisco earned him my vote. Keep doing the good work Gavin!

BREAKING: INCREDIBLE! Governor Gavin Newsom announces a groundbreaking program to provide free diapers to newborns in California starting this summer.

And it gets so much better...

“The big problem defined universally in our city, our state and our nation is the issue of affordability,” Newsom said at a press briefing.

“This is what affordability looks like. It’s not a slogan, it’s a box. It’s a box of diapers. It’s addressing an essential for any new parent, for any new family," he added.

The program, called the “Golden State Start” initiative, will disperse 400 diapers to every newborn when they're discharged from a participating hospitals. At the beginning of the rollout, the program will focus on the hospitals that provide care to the largest number of Medi-Cal patients. Other hospitals will be incorporated in as the program expands.

California is the first state to implement such a program, offering a powerful reminder that real progress can be achieved when Democrats are in power. In addition to being a wonderful, life-changing initiative for countless Californians, this is yet another feather in Newsom's cap ahead of a possible 2028 presidential run.

“Families, California has your back,” said California HHS Secretary Kim Johnson. “We are leading with innovation, we are always rethinking what government can do. Golden Start reflects that same spirit.”

She added that the program is "testing a new model.” The diapers will be manufactured by the nonprofit organization Baby2Baby.

“We are innovating how the state can use its scale, its partnerships, and purchasing power to make essential goods more accessible for all Californians,” said Johnson. “At its core, Golden State is about something very simple: giving every child in California a strong start.”

Meanwhile, Republicans claim to be the party of family values but in practice do nothing to help families — and in fact directly hurt them. Right-wingers like Elon Musk and J.D. Vance are always ranting about the country's low birth rates, but their austerity policies directly incentivize having children. The best way to actually spark a baby boom is to make having a baby affordable!

Would you support an expansion of this program at the federal level?
