Originally called "Gay Pride" in the 1970s, Pride became an annual celebration in Hollywood during most of the 1970s before moving to West Hollywood in 1979, five years before the City of West Hollywood was incorporated as a municipality in 1984.

Since then, West Hollywood has become one of the most influential cities in the nation for its outspoken advocacy on LGBTQ issues with an impact on the national public policy discourse on fairness and inclusiveness for LGBTQ people.
