During a recent government meeting, the Mundelein Board of Trustees unanimously passed a motion recognizing June as LGBTQ Pride Month. The proclamation, introduced by Trustee Ross, highlights the village's commitment to diversity and inclusion, emphasizing that every individual should live free from prejudice and discrimination based on various identities.

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.
