Comment: This doesn't read like a viable article it's more like a school essay. See WP:YFA for more advice Theroadislong (talk) 21:22, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: This is an opinion piece not an encyclopaedic article. Hitro talk 20:47, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Still many other neutral tone issues here. Theroadislong (talk) 20:35, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: "These leaders have played pivotal roles in shaping West Hollywood into a city known for its commitment to equality, diversity, and community engagement. Their efforts have ensured that West Hollywood remains a safe and welcoming place for the LGBTQ+ community." is clearly NOT neutral tone! Theroadislong (talk) 20:16, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Leaders in West Hollywood LGBTQ Politics
[edit]West Hollywood, known for its LGBTQ+ community..[1], has had several notable gay leaders who have contributed significantly to the city's growth from a village to a creative city.
Here are a few original figures:
John Heilman[2], one of the longest-serving West Hollywood City Council members, has a personal journey that resonates with many in the LGBTQ+ community. He incorporated West Hollywood in 1984 and has been critical in the city's development. His focus on issues such as affordable housing, social services, and LGBTQ+ rights is a testament to his dedication and resilience.[3]
John Duran,[4] a lawyer[5] and activist. His work on HIV/AIDS issues and LGBTQ+ rights, as well as his legal contributions to organizations like ACT UP and the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, have improved the lives of many, instilling a sense of pride and hope in our community[6]
Abbe Land[7], a straight ally and former West Hollywood City Council member and mayor[8], has advocated for women's rights, health care access, and LGBTQ+ equality. She also served as the executive director of The Trevor Project[9], an organization focused on crisis intervention and suicide prevention among LGBTQ+ youth.
Jeffrey Prang,[10] a former West Hollywood City Council member[11], has a history of community involvement. His initiatives in public safety and historic preservation, and his later role as the Los Angeles County Assessor,[12] have demonstrated his commitment to fair governance and community welfare.[13]
Lauren Meister[14],[15] a current West Hollywood City Council member[16], has been active in local politics. She focuses on public safety, community development, and environmental sustainability and advocates for maintaining West Hollywood's character and diversity[17]
These leaders have been helpful in shaping West Hollywood as a city known for its commitment to equality, diversity, and community engagement.
