DAP Health’s Stonewall Medical Center Named Platinum Sponsor of Cathedral City LGBT+ Days
Cathedral City’s LGBT+ Days, recognized as the first Pride celebration of the year in the state — has announced DAP Health’s Stonewall Medical Center as the festival’s platinum sponsor.
Stonewall Medical Center serves as a healthcare hub for the LGBTQ+ community, offering gender-affirming care, free sexual wellness services, as well as accessible HIV and primary care. DAP Health supports more than 10,000 individuals who identify as LGBTQ+, making the sponsorship a natural fit.
This year, DAP Health will sponsor the main stage at the amphitheater and participate in the crowd-favorite bed race for the first time. DAP's Steven Henke says supporting the event aligns directly with their mission to ensure every person feels seen, heard, and affirmed.
The 10th Annual Cathedral City LGBT+ Days celebration takes place March 6 through March 8, bringing the community together for a weekend of pride, unity, and celebration.

Palm Springs Pride's theme this year was “BE INCLUDED.” So why was Code Pink told it couldn't march? For the second year in a row, the anti-war and feminist group was denied a place in the Pride Parade. Organizers say the group's message doesn't directly support the LGBTQ+ community and point to concerns raised by community members. Code Pink says its members include LGBTQ+ people and argues that exclusion goes against the spirit of Pride. After the parade ended, the group took to the route anyway. Was this a matter of protecting the purpose of Pride — or a contradiction of its message of inclusion? Where do you stand? #PalmSpringsPride #CodePink #LGBTQ #FreeSpeech #CoachellaValley #NBCPalmSprings
