Carma Productions Announces Gayborhood's Rebrand to Pride Places

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.
