Background:
LGBTQ people are our family, friends, neighbors and co-workers who contribute meaningfully to our community and continues to contribute to the widespread academic, economic, artistic and social spheres within and around our greater community. The month of June was designated Pride Month to commemorate the Stonewall Riots which occurred 50 years ago in June of 1969 and are recognized as the catalyst of the LGBTQ rights movement. The City of Delray Beach remains committed to protecting the civil rights of LGBTQ communities as the purpose of this event proves vital in our effort to advance a more open and just society.
