June 2, 2025 — West Hollywood, CA.
OURS IN THE USA proudly took part in WeHo Pride 2025, representing the Russian-speaking LGBTQI+ communityfor the second consecutive year. This year’s march brought together over 120 participants from across the United States — including members who traveled from New York, Florida, San Francisco, and several other California cities to join the OURS IN THE USA Pride column.
The organization’s vibrant parade presence featured a decorated truck, flags, and banners celebrating freedom, visibility, and unity. The atmosphere was filled with joy, music, and pride, reflecting the resilience and solidarity of a community that continues to grow and thrive.
Among the participants was Miami Queen Glitzer — a drag performer, community ambassador, and cultural icon representing the Russian-speaking LGBTQI+ community nationwide.

“This was our second time marching at WeHo Pride — and we’ve decided it will now become our annual tradition. For us, it’s not just about celebration, but about visibility and solidarity. Every year, our community grows stronger, and every step we take together sends a message of unity, freedom, and pride.”
As part of Pride Month and WeHo Pride 2025, OURS IN THE USA will also host Pride Afterglow on June 7, a large community celebration supported by WeHo Pride and the City of West Hollywood.
