Lea DeLaria loves San Francisco. The self-described “big dyke” returns to the city May 29 and 30 to perform a two-night stand at Feinstein’s at the Nikko. DeLaria has been performing for a long time. She began in 1982 at the late, lamented queer performance space The Valencia Rose, where she wowed audiences with a show called “Raging Bull.”

DeLaria has done it all. An accomplished jazz singer, she has recorded albums, performed on Broadway, and appeared in movies like “The First Wives Club.” She has also done television, where she was lauded for her portrayal of Carrie “Big Boo” Black on the acclaimed Netflix series “Orange is the New Black.” In 1993 she appeared on “The Arsenio Hall Show,” where the studio audience cheered her when she announced to the world that she was indeed a “big dyke.”

She has never been one to hold back. In a phone interview with David-Elijah Nahmod, DeLaria spoke about why she loves San Francisco.

“I really love it,” she said. “As much as I know people in San Francisco who say it changes, it changes, it changes, and I love to see those changes, there are things about the city that always remain the same that make me very happy and I do them every time I go there.”

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
