While Pride is for everyone, the women took over Santa Monica Blvd. in West Hollywood for a brief shining moment on Friday night, ostensibly kicking off L.A.'s Pride weekend and offering up some --let's face it -- much-needed lesbian visibility with the Dyke March.

Following a SheWired / Cherry Bomb co-sponsored pre-Dyke March party paired with Fuse Events at Here Lounge, women took to West Hollywood Park for a mini rally and then to the streets. And of course, we ended up back at Fuse Events' famed Truckstop for our co-sponsored after party. Here are a few pics from the evening.
