It’s Pride Month in Tacoma! And now also in Pierce County! Did you know that Pierce County had not previously recognized local Pride celebrations? Well, that just changed with the County Council’s proclamation!
- https://online.co.pierce.wa.us/cfapps/council/iview/proposal.cfm?proposal_num=R2021-110
County councilmember Ryan Mello and Council assistant Evan Koepfler sit down with host Evelyn Lopez to talk about how the path to passing the proclamation posed unexpected challenges, why the County Executive won’t sign the proclamation or fly the Pride flag, and how you move forward and work with colleagues who declined to support a celebration of Pride and LGBTQ+ members of our community.
We also talk about ALL the fantastic Pride events in Tacoma this month! You can find information on the events at TacomaPride.org.
