Comedian Margaret Cho will serve as the 'icon grand marshal' while late actor Leslie Jordan will be honored as the 'legacy grand marshal.'
Cho will serve as the "icon grand marshal," honoring her years of anti-racism, anti-bullying advocacy and her support ofrights, according to the Christopher Street West Association, which produces the LA Pride celebration.
"We are overjoyed by Christopher Street West's heartfelt recognition to name Leslie as LA Pride's Legacy Grand Marshal," Jordan's sister, Jana "Cricket" Jordan, said in a statement. "This honor further solidifies the positive impact he made in the world, but more importantly for the LGBTQ+ community. His spirit continues to bring love and light."
"For a century, we've been on the front lines fighting for people to be their true, authentic selves," Hector Villagra, executive director of the ACLU SoCal, said in a statement. "We're honored to be the Community Grand Marshal and proud to love, live among, and protect LGBTQ Californians." Earlier this year, Christopher Street West announced that pop superstars Mariah Carey and Megan Thee Stallion will headline this year's LA Pride in the Park.
