Lisa Vanderpump is very proud of how she gets involved in the LGBTQ community in Los Angeles, as SUR and PUMP are located right in the heart of the gay community in West Hollywood. Every year, Lisa does a great job in doing something awesome for pride every year and she didn’t hold back on last night’s episode of Vanderpump Rules. The pride parade took place the day after the horrible shooting in Orlando and it clearly affected the entire cast of Vanderpump Rules. While Vanderpump told her employees that they could decide whether they wanted to go to work, Lisa wanted to hold on to her commitments and ride in the pride parade with thousands of people watching her.

According to a new tweet, Lisa Vanderpump is now revealing that it is important that they stand together during these tough times. Lisa wasn’t mad that her employees decided to stay home instead of coming to work, because she herself was worried about what could have happened if someone reacted to the shootings in Orlando just hours prior to the Los Angeles pride parade. On Twitter, Lisa revealed that she decided to go forward with her commitments because of the adversity the gay community faces on a daily basis.

“Courage in the face of adversity. Stand strong #LGBTQ. Goodnight as we remember the senseless act. Let us stand steadfast in our resolve,” Lisa Vanderpump revealed on Twitter last night, sharing that it is important to her that the LGBTQ community stick together.

And many people thought that Vanderpump did the right thing in sticking to her plan to ride the parade. Plus, Vanderpump got credit for being strong for the community when they were hurting and devastated from the shooting the night before. And many fans reached out to Lisa about her decision to stay strong and it sounds like she has quite the fan base because of what she did on last night’s episode of Vanderpump Rules.

“I’ve not had the privilege of meeting Lisa however as a on looker her work ethics and moral stance is outstanding!” one person wrote in response to Lisa Vanderpump riding in the parade after the shooting, to which other people chimed in with, “She will always fight for us 150%! Will never give,” “Such a powerful episode tonight! Thank you for standing with us for the fight for equality! We must always stand together!” and “That was beautiful to see in this episode. You were sensitive & strong altogether. Glad the community showed up.”

Vanderpump has previously talked about her decision to push forward with the pride parade, even though people were devastated about the shooting the night before. Plus, Lisa herself is a role model in the LGBTQ community and she knew that she had to step up and be a leader.

“I felt a huge responsibility,” Lisa Vanderpump had previously told Variety about her decision to participate in the pride parade, according to Bravo, adding, “Being there not only with a production crew. But also with my staff. As a boss, you don’t know if you’re making the right decision.”

“Everyone was very, very nervous,” Lias continued in the interview with Variety, adding, “I was getting texts from my son that said, ‘Mother you’re on a red bus in a red dress with a red hat. You’re a target. Get off that bus.’ And I’m like, ‘No. We’re going ahead.'”
