The coronavirus continues to spread throughout the United States, as well as globally, threatening lives and livelihoods alike. Health experts are encouraging "social distancing," which has resulted in events being canceled or postponed in a bid to help get the pandemic under control. The Centers for Disease Control has suggested the cancellation of all events with more than 50 attendees for the next eight weeks.

Here are just some of the many cancellations and postponements affecting the LGBTQ, and broader, community.

Broadway Postpones All Shows

Broadway has postponed all shows through at least April 12. The move came after New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo banned gatherings of more than 500 people, with facilities with an occupancy of 500 or fewer reduced to a legal capacity by 50% mass occupancy. National touring shows have also been canceled in many states.

Live Nation and AEG Suspend Concerts

Live Nation and AEG, the two largest live-event companies in the world, have both suspended concerts through the month of March in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The companies signed a joint statement, along with talent agencies CAA, WME, Paradigm, and UTA, saying they had "come together to form a global task force to drive strategic support and unified direction ensuring precautionary efforts and ongoing protocol are in the best interest of artists, fans, staff, and the global community."

L.A. Pride

L.A. Pride became one of the first events scheduled months away to have been postponed due to COVID-19. Organizers announced the news with a tweet noting they were assessing the situation and would provide more information when it becomes available concerning possibly rescheduling the 50th Anniversary L.A. Pride celebration.

Both Miami Beach Pride and Palm Beach Pride have been called off as well, scheduled for March 28-29 and March 28-April 5, respectively. Some outdoor Miami Pride events were still on according to the group's statement.

The Pride of the Americas 2020, another Pride event in Florida, which was to have its inaugural event next month, from April 12-26, is also canceled. The weeklong series of events was to take place throughout Broward County, and was organized by Pride Fort Lauderdale.

“This is obviously a disappointing blow to the entire Pride Fort Lauderdale team and our sponsors and partners,” said president Miik Martorell. “However, the safety of the public is always our utmost concern.”
