This Pride Month we are proud to spotlight 10 LA based queer artists. Over the years queer artists have helped expand empathy and understanding through their art and have created room for people to be their authentic selves. By challenging societal norms and being brave enough to be themselves in a world that does not always support, they inspire society to be more kind, loving, bold, and reflective.
