On Wednesday, officials unveiled the "Out on the Walk" exhibit. It was produced in collaboration with the LGBTQ History Archives of the Desert-- and the Chamber of Commerce.
"Our Walk of Stars is such a popular tourist attraction, and for our residents too, it's a way to really recognize people that have given back to our community. And because we have such a large LGBTQ population, it's really nice to be able to acknowledge and recognize those individuals and their specific contributions to making Palm Springs a welcoming and inclusive place," said Palm Springs Mayor Grace Garner.
"It provides us a place to be acknowledged," said Al Johnson and Steve Manookian, Palm Springs residents. "It gives credence to who were are, what we are, and who we love."
