Governor Northam Declares June Pride Month
The Governor’s office invited all Virginians to participate in the many state events recognizing our LGBTQ+ community, and listed several at the office’s site that can be attended in person and/or online.
From his site:
This Pride Month, we are reminded of the resilience of LGBTQ+ Americans and their fight for inclusion and acceptance and equal access to services and opportunities. As we celebrate the diversity of our Commonwealth, we also recognize the contributions of LGBTQ+ communities in making Virginia a welcoming and affirming place.
Earlier this year the Governor created the Virginia LGBTQ+ Advisory Board, and last year the Governor signed the Virginia Values Act, which provides enhanced anti-discrimination and other protections for the LGBTQ+ community.
