On Tuesday evening, Los Alamos County Council declared June 7-13 as “LGBTQ+ Pride Week in Los Alamos!”
This Proclamation is a reminder to the community of how everyone has the right to live without fear, prejudice, discrimination, violence, or hatred based on gender identity or expression or sexual orientation.
June is national Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Plus (LGBTQ+) Pride Month—a time to celebrate, educate, and engage the community on the issues, contributions, culture, and unique voice of LGBTQ+ people.
The Council desires to foster a tangible community of support and acceptance in Los Alamos County. We urge our citizens to respect and honor our diverse community, celebrate and build a culture of inclusiveness and acceptance, and participate in this year’s Los Alamos Pride Festival taking place on Friday, June 12 from 3 to 7 p.m. at Central Park Square.
