MAYOR PROCLAIMS LGBTQ+ PRIDE MONTH, GUN VIOLENCE AWARENESS DAY IN JUNE

Mayor Mike Purzycki proclaimed June 2023 as LGBTQ+ Pride Month in Wilmington and the Pride Flag was again raised in Rodney Square to mark the month-long celebration.

“Wilmington is an incredibly welcoming City that respects and values people of every background and advocates for equality for all,” said the Mayor. “We are pleased to recognize June as LGBTQ+ Pride Month for the sixth year in a row, marked by the historic raising of the Pride Flag over Rodney Square. During this month, we recognize the important contributions that LGBTQ+ individuals and groups have made to our City – to the arts, economics and business, education, government, sports, medicine, law, journalism, science and technology, and so many other fields – all of which have made us a better, richer, and stronger community.”
