The support for this event extends beyond just the city. Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn and Second District Councilwoman Cindy Allen have also shown their support for "Canceled? Never Heard of Her!" Hahn believes that in these challenging times, it is important for communities to come together. Councilwoman Allen echoed this sentiment and added that Bixby Park is an ideal location for such an event as it is at the heart of Long Beach's queer community.
