 LGBTQ+ advocates gathered in Olympia Thursday to watch Gov. Jay Inslee and community leaders raise the LGBTQ flag over the Capitol grounds.
June is LGBTQ Pride Month, and Gov. Jay Inslee joined state employees and community leaders on Thursday to help raise a celebratory flag over the Washington State Capitol. Inslee raised the Capitol?s first Pride flag in 2015, and the flag-raising has become a tradition ever since. It symbolizes the steady march of progress toward equality and justice for all.
?I think the fact that you can be who you are and love who you will is one of the most beautiful things about the state of Washington,? said Inslee. ?And I am glad to live in a time where we?ve made so much progress.?
On May 30,?Inslee proclaimed June?as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Asexual, Aromantic, Queer, Two-Spirit, Non-Binary, and Intersex Pride Month, encouraging all Washingtonians to join him in rooting out discrimination and promoting equal protection under the law.
