fter a two-year hiatus, the North County LGBTQ Resource Center’s staff, board, and volunteers are excited to return to in-person celebrations for this year’s 2022 Pride by the Beach celebration, hosted on Saturday, June 11, 2022, from noon – 6 P.M. This year is especially momentous because Pride by the Beach turns 15 years old! The festival is free, family-friendly, and alcohol and tobacco-free with more food and retail vendors than ever before –including vegetarian and vegan options.

he fight for equality, privacy, and autonomy for the LGBTQIA+ community is far from over. The work towards a more perfect union which celebrates our diversity as an asset is never ending but will seem Sisyphean if the work of the last half century is dismantled before our eyes with the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

iden’s historic nominating of Ana C. Reyes for the United States District Court for the District of Columbia continues efforts to ameliorate Trump’s court packing. Reyes could make history as the first Hispanic woman, and the first out LGBTQ+ individual, to serve on the United State District Court for the District of Columbia. Haters are going to say her identity doesn’t matter and we should look at her qualifications – oh just you wait – but it’s important to take inventory and reflect on the makeup of our court systems and celebrate when voices are elevated to the bench who have not previously been heard from that high up. Reyes is an advocate for women and asylum seekers and brings an impressive resume of lived experiences, scholastic achievement, judicial clerkship experience, and pro bono advocacy that more than qualify her for this nomination.
