Pride Month proclamation

Spoke against the mayor's Pride Month proclamation as a 'one-person, no queens protest,' arguing it divides the city, lacks council discussion or a vote, and suggested alternatives like a Fidelity Month or military recognition.

Also protested the proclamation, saying it grants special privileges rather than equality, and questioned whether taxpayer funds would be spent on celebrations and why the council had no input.

A longtime resident who doesn't support the proclamation, suggesting instead that July be designated a month honoring veterans, fallen soldiers, law enforcement, firefighters and first responders.
