GTA 5 mod brings Pride to Los Santos

Since its PC release last year, GTA 5 has been blessed with some wonderful user-made mods—from ambitious graphics overhauls, to Hulkbuster Iron Man suits, the ever-burgeoning list never fails to impress me. Now, the Los Santos Pride add-on lets players celebrate Pride on the faux-LA streets in a display of colour, togetherness and unity.

Backed by Stockholm Pride—the biggest Scandanavian Pride festival that “strives to raise awareness for LGBT+ issues, and create a safe zone for LGBT+ people and the gender expressions within the LGBT+ community”—Los Santos Pride is the result of a collaboration between well-know GTA 5 modders Garbergs, JulioNiB, 8-Bit Bastard, TheFriedTurkey, Merfish and TheNathanNS. 

It's good to see such a show of support for the LGBT+ community, particularly in a game normally associated with violence. Speaking to the latter, Los Santos Pride has been designed to only allow players to interact with the parade in non-violent, non-aggressive ways. 

“Los Santos Pride is a pro-bono project with no financial incentive or other benefits for anyone involved,”  creator Sedir Ajeenah told the Daily Dot. “Love will always triumph over hate.”
