"We had so many people who came up to us and said things like, 'Hey, I didn't know that there were this many queer people in this community,' or, 'I really would like to get involved but I don't know how,' or, 'I wanted to go and speak at city council but I didn't know if there's going to be anybody else there that I felt safe with,'" said Kanan Durham, executive director of Pride at the Pier.
"The roots of Pride have always been in joyful resistance," Durham said."And Huntington Beach is one of the many cities in Orange County right now that needs a show of joyful resistance." Another big difference from last year: The organizers will be sharing information about the event more widely, since organizers were worried in 2023 that anti-LGBTQ groups might come to the pier.
