The proclamation acknowledges the contributions of the LGBTQ community to the vibrancy of Mundelein, reinforcing the village's identity as a welcoming place for all residents. Trustee Ross specifically recognized Chris and Sue from the Mundelein LGBT Alliance for their efforts in fostering community support and awareness.
The board's decision reflects a broader national celebration of LGBTQ Pride Month, which aims to honor the history and contributions of LGBTQ individuals. The meeting concluded with a light-hearted mention of rainbow flags available for residents, further symbolizing the village's support for the LGBTQ community.
