Cathedral City to Receive Human Rights Campaign Community Leadership Award

Cathedral City will receive the Human Rights Campaign’s Community Leadership Award during next month’s LGBT+ Days celebration, city officials announced today.

The award recognizes Cathedral City’s strong commitment to LGBTQ+ equity, highlighted by the city earning a perfect score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign’s Municipal Equality Index. The index evaluates cities nationwide on nondiscrimination laws, city services, employment practices, law enforcement policies, and leadership on equality issues.

The award will be presented at approximately 7 p.m. on March 7 at the Stonewall Main Stage as part of LGBT+ Days.

This year’s LGBT+ Days celebration, themed “Community Strong,” runs from March 6 through March 8 and will feature a full slate of events including a parade, drone show, races, vendors, and a headline performance by singer David Archuleta.
