Dear Friends:
MAYOR ROBERT GARCIA
CITY OF LONG BEACH
Thank you for choosing the 2018 Essential Gay & Lesbian Directory! This publication is an indispensable guide to some of our city’s best businesses, and it is a great resource to connect with and support our thriving LGBTQ community.
As one of the most diverse cities in the state, Long Beach prides itself on diversity, inclusion and respect. We are also a city that is working hard to become more business friendly every day, and as Mayor I am especially committed to supporting businesses throughout the city. The services available in the community top those found anywhere else.
Thanks to resources like the Gay & Lesbian Pages, our city has developed a reputation as one of the best places in the country to open and expand a business. I appreciate all the hard work and research that goes into making this great directory, and for supporting LGBTQ businesses and community members throughout Long Beach.
Our city’s blend of outstanding locally owned businesses, entertainment options, and relaxed oceanside atmosphere is unmatched. And this directory showcases what makes our city such a great place to live, work, and play. Keep up the great work!
Go Long Beach!
Mayor Robert Garcia City of Long Beach
