LA PRIDE HONOREE NOMINATIONS SOUGHT

02/04/2013

Posted by WeHo News staff, West Hollywood, California

One of the most special aspects of LA Pride is our annual Honorees Program.

This is the recognition of the people, organizations, businesses and groups that have made extraordinary contributions to the LGBT community—here in L.A., at the national level or even around the world.

Morris Kight in the 2002 LA Gay Pride Parade - his last appearance in the parade he co-founded 42 years earlier.

In addition to being in the LA Pride parade on Sunday, June 9, 2013, our honorees are celebrated at a number of exclusive pre-Pride events and participate in all media opportunities.

In the spirit of community, we would love your help in identifying those that are most deserving of these very special awards.

For the recipients, it is a once in a lifetime triumph they’ll treasure forever.

Below, you’ll find a brief description of each award and the nomination form is here.

These must be submitted by Friday, February 8, 2013 at 5 P.M. Honorees are required to attend all pre-Pride events.

For questions, please email us(honorees@lapride.org) or call 323-969-8302. Past honorees are listed here.
