Kylie Minogue, Janelle Monáe and Keke Palmer Kick Off Pride Month With a Bang at West Hollywood’s OUTLOUD Music Festival
Steven J. Horowitz Senior Music Writer Pride month kicked off as expected at West Hollywood’s OUTLOUD Festival — which is to say that it brought queer star power to set the celebratory tone at Los Angeles’ LGBTQ+ mecca on its opening weekend.
Starting on Friday and running through Sunday, concertgoers were served a platter of musicians who said it loud and proud, from headliners Kesha, Janelle Monáe and Kylie Minogue to acts including Channel Tres, Purple Disco Machine and Big Freedia.
Sunglasses were worn at night, clothing was often optional and a general sense of comradery permeated the park, where attendees were unified by the commonality of acceptance and community.
If anything, Pride emphasized the importance of being who you are and, of course, the idea that living your truth is in fact the only way to live.
