“When we bought Paradise in Long Beach we knew what a special and important place it was for the LGBTQ+ community. We have made a commitment to honor the space, the neighborhood and be an ally to our LBTQIA friends. We believe that we can use our reach, however big or small, to be a voice in the community that spreads awareness, positivity and kindness. It has always been a priority to us that this location would remain a safe space. Thank you to the Visit Gay Long Beach organization for helping to honor to our mission.”
