I Attended Dyke Day L.A. and Found a Celebration of Identity
This PRIDE month, I headed to Dyke Day on Saturday for the first time, and it was spectacular!

There were informational booths, picnic blankets, and food trucks galore, with no shortage of activities to keep participants occupied. People brought their kids and dogs, which made for an even more festive atmosphere. There was a main stage for performers, plenty of merch tents, a few kink events, a quiet tent, and a kid's tent among others.
