In June 2014, Demi Lovato was honored as the Grand Marshal of the L.A. Gay Pride Parade, where she delivered a show-stopping performance atop a vibrant, rainbow-themed float that made its way through the streets of West Hollywood.

Thousands of spectators were captivated as Demi, joined by an energetic troupe of dancers in eye-catching bodysuits, brought the celebration to life, pumping up the crowd with her powerful stage presence and infectious energy.

NYC Pride and Demi Lovato’s Commitment to the LGBTQ+ Community

Dance on the Pier is NYC Pride’s largest fundraising event, providing over $45,000 annually in grants to LGBT and LGBT-friendly nonprofits and community organizations through its production committee.

“It’s such an honor to be a part of both LA and NYC PRIDE celebrations this year,” Demi said.

“I have been an active advocate of the LGBT community and am wholly committed to supporting individuality and being comfortable in one’s own skin. I am thrilled to be a part of both events as they are a wonderful celebration of independence and self-confidence.”

For the occasion, Demi unleashed her inner rock star in an outfit that included a white button-down collared shirt with a black necktie, a black leather blazer, and a pair of studded black pants.

She accessorized with gold bangles, rings, and an ear cuff. Also perfecting her rocker look was her punk-inspired half-shaved head with colorful streaks.
