This group was put together to connect the LGBTQ+ Community within our city. Throughout my campaign I learned that many people within our city did not feel comfortable being out and proud. They did not feel like there was acceptance in our city, and there was no clear way for LGBTQ+ Members to find each other and connect. Thus, this group was born.
This group has been an amazing tool to not just connect us and our allies, but has been a great way to share educational conteent, plan events, and strategize how to make our city more LGBTQ+ Friendly.
Today rainbow flags can be seen all over the city. Our first event, the first annual PRIDE Picnic, saw more than 250 people come together, and in the same year, we were successful in getting council to agree to fly the Pride Progress Flag annually, officially recognizing the representation of the LGBTQ+ Community here in our city.
