CHRISTOPHER STREET WEST ASSOCIATION, INC.

Christopher Street West Association, Inc., is a non-profit service organization within the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered community of Greater Los Angeles, committed to the goals of human rights, education, outreach and better understanding within our community, as well as the heterosexual community. CSW was formed in 1970 to produce the first Lesbian and Gay Parade in Los Angeles celebrating the Stonewall Rebellion on New York's Christopher Street in June, 1969. It was incorporated in 1976. Today CSW brings together the skills, talents and vision of our diverse community to produce the annual Greater Los Angeles LGBT Pride Celebration hosted by the independent City of West Hollywood.
