Moraga council proclaims June 2025 Pride Month, hears public support
Summary
The Town of Moraga read and signed a proclamation recognizing June 2025 as Pride Month, with public commenters and councilmembers expressing support and discussing flag display on the dais.
Mayor Steve Walicky and the Town of Moraga Town Council read and signed a proclamation recognizing June 2025 as Pride Month at the council’s June 11 meeting, prompting public comment from residents and brief discussion among councilmembers about flags on the dais.
The proclamation text declared June 2025 a month to “celebrate and recognize our dynamic and diverse Moraga community,” affirmed support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ+) residents and youth, and condemned intolerance. After the reading, the council invited public comment and posed for a group photo with attendees.
Two public commenters addressed the council during the proclamation item. Kari, a 20-year-old Lafayette resident, spoke in support of the recognition. Casey Rang thanked the council for a proclamation she called meaningful and said it offered hope to young people facing “messages of hate and intolerance.” Councilmembers responded with brief remarks of appreciation; several noted personal support and discussed whether to display flags on the dais at future meetings.
Council discussion was limited to expressions of support and a brief procedural question about flag placement. The mayor signed the proclamation on the dais and councilmembers joined community members for a photograph.
The proclamation was read into the record; no formal ordinance or council vote was recorded for the proclamation itself. The item closed after public comment and photo-taking.
