ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 1, 2025--

Carma Productions is proud to announce the rebrand of Gayborhood to Pride Places, in honor of its 15th anniversary. The name change reflects a broader commitment to inclusivity and a renewed focus on connection, safety, and celebration for all LGBTQ+ users and allies.

"This rebrand is more than a name change—it's about progress," said Marci A. Alt, Co-Founder and President of Carma Productions. "'Gayborhood' served us well, but 'Pride Places' better reflects the diversity of our community and the inclusive future we envision."

As LGBTQ+ rights face increasing challenges nationwide, resources like Pride Places are more critical than ever. The platform connects individuals with businesses that affirm, respect, and celebrate their LGBTQ+ consumers.

"Our mission has always been about creating safety and visibility," Alt added. "Now, in today’s climate, it’s vital that LGBTQ+ people have a trusted resource to find places where they are welcomed and uplifted."

To support this mission, Pride Places is unveiling a fully redesigned digital platform. Updates include:

• A sleek, mobile-friendly design
• Streamlined navigation and enhanced search tools
• A curated directory of LGBTQ+-affirming businesses
• A calendar of inclusive community events
• A blog containing articles relevant to LGBTQ+ travel, weddings, news, lifestyle, and politics

"We listened to our users and rebuilt our digital presence to meet their needs," said Thomas Ryan-Lawrence, Co-Founder and Vice President of Carma Productions. "This rebrand and relaunch are about more than aesthetics—they’re about impact."

Pride Places continues its mission to foster safe, empowering spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals. With a fresh name and powerful new tools, the platform is poised for even greater reach and relevance.
