The Hollywood Reporter partnered up with GLAAD for the Celebration of Pride ’25 party Wednesday night that brought a slew of guests from the LGBTQ community and allies to West Hollywood.

Several stars stopped by the celebration, presented by Paramount+ FYC at Sunset at EDITION, to dance, chat and, most importantly, gather as a community — something GLAAD’s Anthony Allen Ramos emphasized was critical. “I think more than ever it’s important to be loud and proud and vocal,” Ramos told THR before the large crowd gathered at the event, which also served as a celebration of GLAAD’s 40th year.

“The more that we can come together during Pride and remind the world that we are just like everyone else, we are everyday people, but we’re also super creative when it comes to the work that we do in the entertainment industry and beyond,” he added. “It’s unfortunate that we’re having these new challenges, but if you look back at history, we overcame it, and I’m hoping that [with] Pride, everyone feels like we can do it again.”

The event featured plenty of stars, including the cast of Prime Video’s Overcompensating, who stopped by THR’s portrait studio and red carpet. Much of the cast shared how they’re celebrating pride this year. I’ve been to a few events. I go with the flow, and I try to watch as many gay things as possible,” creator and star Benito Skinner told THR on the red carpet. “I also treat myself. I’m like, ‘It’s Pride, I need a new top,’” he said, jokingly clarifying “not like that.”

Skinner’s co-star and longtime comedy partner Mary Beth Barone had a pretty simple answer. “I’m going to have sex with women,” she said. “I think that’s the best way I can do it.”
