Lacey Declares Pride Month for LGBTQIA+ Youth

Lacey City Council just made June Pride Month official — and it’s more than just a celebration, it’s a powerful step toward inclusion. At a June 16th meeting, the proclamation was welcomed by El Sanchez of Pizza Klatch, a nonprofit that feeds more than just hunger — it feeds hope for LGBTQIA+ youth through lunchtime support groups in 14 schools. These groups build resilience, foster belonging, and quietly prevent isolation — even if suicide prevention isn’t their goal. Pride Month honors Stonewall ’69 and celebrates wins like marriage equality and anti-discrimination laws — but the message is clear: the fight for full acceptance is far from over. The city reaffirms its commitment to dignity, respect, and inclusion for all. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
