Each year Equality California’s Equality Awards honor the inspirational leaders and organizations whose selfless work helps create a world that is healthy, just and fully equal for all LGBTQ people. These events celebrate our community achievements and renew our commitment to the fight for equality and social justice. Among California’s premier LGBTQ gala events, attendees include elected officials, celebrities, leaders of the LGBTQ civil rights movement, and leaders from business, labor, nonprofit, civic and political organizations. The Equality Awards are held each year in each of the top five media markets in California – Sacramento, San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles and Palm Springs.
