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.
