Palm Springs, California's famous desert playground, is set to host two vibrant and diverse LGBT events this autumn; Cinema Diverse and Greater Palm Springs Pride will be taking place in September and November respectively and celebrate the diversity, equality and solidarity of the LGBT community.
Movie enthusiasts are invited to experience Cinema Diverse, a unique silver screen celebration, which is solely dedicated to showcasing the leaders in LGBT cinema. Celebrating its tenth anniversary, Cinema Diverse will take place from 21st to 24th September 2017 in the Camelot Theatres in Palm Springs.
To open the festival, Cinema Diverse will be airing a new documentary called 'The Untold Tales of Armistead Maupin', which tells the story of gay pioneer and beloved author, Armistead Maupin. Armistead, who wrote a series of novels called 'Tales of the City', will be attending the opening night to participate in a Q&A session, receive a coveted lifetime achievement award, as well as sign copies of his upcoming memoir 'Logical Family: A Memoir', which is due to be published in October.
Greater Palm Springs Pride has been running for 31 years and is the largest LGBT gathering in the Coachella Valley. Located in the city's beautiful downtown, the festival will take place on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th November 2017. With live bands, cutting edge DJ sets, dancing in the streets, as well as delicious street food stands, Greater Palm Springs Pride will bring the city's downtown to life.
