Drag March LA: The March on Santa Monica Blvd

8300 Santa Monica Blvd,West Hollywood CA 90069

09 April, 2023

Description

On Easter Sunday (April 9), the Los Angeles LGBT Center will host the all-ages Drag March LA--mobilizing against the oppressive anti-LGBTQ+ tidal wave in America. Why? There are already over 400 pieces of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation on the books—unsurprisingly, most of them target transgender people. Dress code? Sunday’s Best Drags. Drag has always been political and gender has always been policed. LGBTQ+ people have always known (and shown) that there are many shades of the rainbow—and once again, it’s time for us to put them all on full display; we will not stand by while the far right seeks to roll back our rights. In partnership with local LGBTQ+ organizations, faith groups, queer and trans activists, and the finest drag artists in the City of Angels, this proud assembly will march down Santa Monica Blvd from West Hollywood City Hall to the heart of WeHo. 10 a.m. Doors Open11-11:40 a.m. Rally & Kickoff Performance 11:45 a.m. Demonstrators Get in Formation12 p.m. March Begins1 p.m. March EndsGuest speakers will include the activists and families from impacted states who are fighting anti-LGBTQ+ legislation.
