Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist II issued a proclamation Tuesday declaring June as Pride Month in Michigan, honoring the contributions, history, and resilience of the state’s LGBTQ+ community.
Whitmer signed the proclamation while celebrating the start of Pride Month at Good Judy’s Market & Juice Bar, an LGBTQ+ owned business in Grand Rapids.
“Every Michigander deserves the freedom to be themselves, no matter who they love or how they identify,” Whitmer said. “Pride Month is about celebrating and standing in solidarity with our LGBTQ+ community. I’m proud of the work we’ve done, including expanding protections under the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act, preventing state funds from being used for conversion therapy, and establishing the first-ever statewide LGBTQ+ commission. As we celebrate Pride Month, we must keep working hard to protect our gay and trans neighbors from bigotry and hate. In Michigan, we will always fight for your freedom to live with pride.”
“Pride Month is a time for us to uplift Michigan’s LGBTQ+ community and honor their contributions to our state,” said Lieutenant Governor Gilchrist. “We are committed to making sure that every Michigander can live authentically, love with dignity, and be who they want to be. This month, and every month, we will continue to celebrate our LGBTQ+ neighbors, stand tall in the face of hatred, and work towards a more equal Michigan.”
