wi-prideMADISON- June 1st marks the beginning of LGBTQ+ Pride Month, a month to celebrate and acknowledge the many contributions our LGBTQ+ friends, neighbors, and loved ones have given our state throughout its history.

Senator Melissa Agard released the following statement:

melissa-agard-sargent“Happy Pride Wisconsin! LGBTQ+ Pride Month celebrates the contributions and impact of LGBTQ+ individuals, to honor and memorialize LGBTQ+ community members that are no longer with us, and to recognize what still must be done to ensure equality for all.

“To the LGBTQ+ community, I see you, I hear you, and I will always stand with you and support legislation that lifts you up. LGBTQ+ rights are human rights and I will never stop advocating for you in the state legislature. Recently, we have seen several bills in the legislature aimed at attacking LGBTQ+ communities, especially Trans and non-binary individuals. I pledge to continue to work tirelessly against these policies and others like them.

“This month we celebrate and remember those who helped us get to this point, but we also recommit ourselves to the work we still have to do every day to make sure Wisconsin is a safe and inclusive place for all.”
