West Hollywood turns 40 

2024 will mark West Hollywood’s 40th anniversary as a city and there’s lots to celebrate. Since its incorporation in 1984, West Hollywood has seen much progress, especially on the front of LGBT rights. Highlights from the last 40 years include:

West Hollywood was one of the first cities in the country to pass a resolution in support of marriage equality, paving the way for same-sex marriage initiatives all over the county.
