Toyota is a Proud Community Partner for 2018!
We are very excited to partner with Toyota this year, for the 7th Annual OUT IN THE PARK ! The Toyota brand is our lead presenting partner for 2018!
Toyota supports dozens of local and National LGBTQIA organizations including Trevor Project, GLADD, Point Foundation, Lambda Legal, Victory Fund, Out & Equal and the Human Rights Campaign.
Across the Toyota family and in communities around the world, Toyota admires and applauds the differences that make us unique and celebrate the love that drives us all. This is the inspiration for the #LoveDrives campaign, which we invite you to follow on our social media channels.
Toyota was one of the first automotive companies to provide comprehensive domestic partnership benefits back in 2002, and continued to demonstrate its support of LGBTQ team members by expanding tax benefits, adoption support and transgender health benefits.
“Toyota’s commitment to diversity doesn’t stop within the company,” said Chris Reynolds, executive vice president and chief diversity officer of Toyota Motor North America. “Across the country, Toyota partners with, and invests in a variety of organizations to help build positive, affirmative environments in which the diverse members of our communities, including LGBTQ, can live and make stronger contributions towards an ever-better society for all.”
The 2018 CEI evaluates LGBTQ-related policies and practices including non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic partner benefits, transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency programs and public engagement with the LGBTQ community. Toyota’s efforts in satisfying the CEI’s criteria results in the 100 percent ranking and designation as a “Best Place to Work” for LGBTQ Equality.
With over one billion dollars of business conducted with minority- and women-owned suppliers every year, Toyota is building strong and successful relationships with some of America’s most vibrant and progressive companies. Through dedicated supplier diversity professionals, Toyota strives to ensure businesses and business opportunities are open to all.

ADAM JOSEPH enetratinment for 2018
One of the leading forces in the queer underground music scene, Adam Joseph is not only an award-winning vocalist, he’s also the mastermind producer and songwriter behind other artists like Peppermint (RuPaul’s Drag Race S9) and Jonny McGovern (Hey Qween).
He has released 2 solo albums and been a featured vocalist on songs with Grammy Nominated DJ/Producer Bob Sinclar, Wet Fingers, Plastik Funk, Lem Springsteen of Mood II Swing and remixed by Bass Jackers, David Jones and Deeplomatik.
He has written songs for #1 Billboard artists like Inaya Day and Lea Lorien. His latest viral smash “Linda Evangelista“ featuring Aja from Drag Race S9 has been played around the globe and was featured on the reunion special of Drag Race where RuPaulintroduced it to the world as a masterpiece.
He’s been featured in Billboard, OUT Magazine, The Village Voice, The LA Times, LOGO, CNN and Paper Magazine. Adam’s live performance combines all of his talents—DJ, original productions and live vocals—leaving crowds amazed, intrigued, and hungry for more.
THIS YEAR we are doing something a little different with a more casual and intimate performance! Adam will be playing music and doing some signing in JB’S Bar located in the Southwest Territory!
Adam Joseph, the mastermind behind the viral house remix of Maxine Waters’ infamous “reclaiming my time” takedown, has taken a break from creating bitch tracks to show off his own vocal talent on “Thirsty.” The track, produced by Vito Fun & Koil, is an anthem for those who leave the bar a bit parched for some after-hours fun. The funky track has a throwback vibe and features a guest rap from RuPaul’s Drag Race season 9 runner up Peppermint.
