Pack your rainbow flag, glitter and sunscreen because there's a whole lot of celebrating going on in these pride-ful cities.

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – The rainbow-colored crosswalks that garnered national attention in June will become permanent fixtures, thanks to a recent decision by the West Hollywood City Council.

The proposal was brought to the city by Los Angeles-based artist Martin Duvander, who says he wrote to West Hollywood officials in April with the suggestion. “I saw those white crosswalks as an empty canvas and saw an opportunity to paint them and make a statement,” Duvander said.
